TrashBench Modifies Metabox Laptop with Custom AIO Radiator
TrashBench attached a custom 360mm AIO radiator to a Metabox laptop, significantly lowering CPU and GPU temperatures.
TrashBench reportedly attached a 360mm AIO radiator to a Metabox laptop equipped with an Nvidia GTX 1060 and Intel Core i7-8750H. The modification lowered both the CPU and GPU temperatures by about 60°C during benchmarks and stress tests.
The build involved using a cut-up AIO radiator from another project, installing a larger standalone pump, and mounting waterblocks with 3D-printed holders. The radiator was secured behind the screen using epoxy due to limited space for screws. Additionally, a heatsink with thermal pads was attached to RAM and VRMs.
According to Tom's Hardware, performance gains averaged 14% after overclocking with the new cooling setup.
