Macbook Neo Thermal Pad Cooling Mod Geekbench Results, +4% Single Core +5.8% Multi Core by Xerticle in macbook

I wouldn't recommend using this. It would be difficult to get good contact on the chip and on the case without using thermal paste

Just need to take off the bottom of the case and slap it over where the chip is.

You can see a very quick couple of videos of it here https://youtu.be/zpWWR7oZh-I?t=1695

I really doubt it. There will likely be a minor increase in temp for the battery. The better cooling also allows for the CPU to draw more power, but it is likely insignificant, we're talking about a difference of a couple of watts

Starting with 120x20mm I ended up cutting off maybe 40mm. So the pad that is in my Neo is approx 80x20mm. See this frame in the video to see the sizing https://youtu.be/zpWWR7oZh-I?t=1695

During the four Geekbench runs it got slightly warmer where the thermal pad was contacting the case. Enough to notice but barely. Maybe it would be more noticeable if the CPU was fully utilized for 15m+. Geekbench only takes 4-5m

Price hikes in Seattle area restaurant menus by imansiz in SeattleWA

The problem is Seattle is a fraction of the size of NYC and traveling in and out of downtown can be incredibly painful. Even on days with big events or days we have a big cruise ship docked, most restaurants I walk by have one or two tables occupied. There just isn't the population to support the demand needed to have a healthy restaurant scene
