Underrated
WHY DOES ALMOST EVERY LTT VIDEO HAVE THIS COMMENT
So, you're telling me, Chinese get laptop CPUs and make them usable for desktop mainboards? Sounds like a legit recycling method to me.
Besides that: you guys are probably the only one, who not only cover the "mainstream" offical products, but also things like this. I really like that.
agreed. upcycling is great for the environment, assuming shipping and remanufacturing dont pollute too much.
gosh someone even makes new boards with old z97 and x65 chipsets to use higher end enterprise gear in consumer equipment again. both are mazing reuses of totally serviceable tech.
I agree with every part of your comment... Give me off brand Chinese components, especially ones that implement novel solutions, all day!! Especially affordable ones! Building unusual computers, with cheap, weird, mystery Chinese components, is too much fun!!
@@godchi1dvonsteuben770 my entire custom itx loop is all Chinese parts, took a while to translate and it's almost done :))

Wait, is that the Mr. Su from that little, uhm, "hardware shop" in that one back alley in Shenzhen? :)
yep
Wait have you met him
Omg right, I saw that shop when I was buying solar streetlights
he was promoting the cpu when i went there
Nice new system to me
Intel: *spends hundreds of thousands a year on advertising with LTT
Linus: "so these shady Intel chips are engineering samples pulled from God knows where"
And people say he's a sellout.
People don’t like seeing someone get free gear for something they don’t like , it’s jealousy over something that doesn’t matter and it’s easy to accuse someone of shilling instead of maybe accepting some people just want to run a business and make deals to that end
Broken Games quit being a jealous baby in short
@@perniciouskraken1898 It's how annoying the ads are, instead of interrupting the video or spamming us with bullshit at the start of the video, he could just put a banner at the bottom of the screen without interrupting anything, or using the sponsored parts in the video like he did here (just without the spam at the start of the video)
@@mwbgaming28 are you too lazy to skip 10 secs of the video????
@@mwbgaming28 so you're choosing to watch this video then complaining about the ads that support it and the content, surrrrrrreee thing buddy enjoy being a trash person.
Damn Linus, I can't believe you had such a hard time. I ran the QL2X and 3X like a breeze here all the way up to 4.6GHz and even 4.8GHz CPUz Validated. Issue you were having is likely due to PCIe Gen2, some of these CPUs require to use Gen1 to work properly. But then again, you could just have used the integrated graphics (UHD 630). From my testing, Gen3 to Gen1 saw from 5 to 10% performance loss on GPU bound scenarios when using a GTX 1080Ti. You can also try raising VCCSA and VCCIO voltages, sometimes that helps to get PCIe Gen2 stable on these. For some reason, AMD Graphics cards normally don't seem to present these issues. Another thing that might've happened is that the water block used could have messed up the mounting pressure, but there's really not much tweaking involved there. You can totally go up to 4 - 4.2ghz on a stock Intel cooler since they are direct die. Nice to see you guys got to try out these CPUs too, they are pretty neat :-) Btw, I also made a video on them (cc/subtitles in english available)

I love whacky stuff like this. So much more interesting than your average "omg new intel CPU" video. Can anyone recommend a channel that focuses on unusual components like this?
sorry for the super late reply, you can check out Miyconst, he does some in depth review of those obscure PC components
Randomgaminginhd though he does more older stuff. Also Dawid does tech stuff.
I am actually a fan of Necroware (link to his channel th-cam.com/channels/KU5nwSWYXa3xfXGBlKyvdw.html ), he does ancient resurrections and goofs around with junk a lot. He does software engineering too, so he is a tiny bit on the dry side, but his content is friggin cool. I also like LTT, but i do get you, especially since the applicability to real life can be lost a lot on here.
these kinds of chips (laptop and servers CPUs, mobile GPUs such as 8xx Nvidia series and 3060m/6600m) are pretty popular on the Russian side of tech TH-cam, so you can check it out with auto translation
The comment is quite old, but nowadays "Bringus Studios" does a lot of these

Storytime with my last CPU situation:
Back in June of 2019, I built a new system with a Core i5 9400F. I had bought the Motherboard, RAM, and CPU ahead of the GPU because of money constraints. (I already had the case and PSU) So I slapped what I had together and tried booting with my GT 1030 and nothing happened, I and my boyfriend thought it was because MSI's cheap motherboards didn't like PCI powered GPU's and left it as-is till we picked up an RTX 2060 XC 1 month later. (Intel F series are not APU's) Once we got the GPU we put it in to see if the system would post but it didn't, we reseated everything till we looked at the CPU...
It was bent
I must've made board flex when putting on the cooler, so my boyfriend suggested to put something soft like a sock on the edge of a table and push the corners that bent down with fingers on the contact-pads, slapped it all back together and it posted...
we fixed a computer with a sock.

I had a Dell Precision 7510 with a 6820HQ that could be overclocked to 4GHz through the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility. Keeping it cool was tougher, but wouldn't always throttle. OEMs were on board with some of these features.
intel and amd: we have restrictions and locks on our hardware and you will use them how we intend you to use them.

And that's one of the reasons we watch the Linus Tech channel!
I have installed one of those Chinese Coffee lake 1151 intel CPU 0000 at 2,4Ghz up to 3.6Ghz. I have it running at 2.9 Ghz in a Lenovo M710 tiny form factor with the STOCK FAN AND COOLIG PLATE!!!! (Lenovo motherboard does not have wholes to fit a regular 4 screws cooling plate).
Same machine has a GPU Beast external adapter (connected to the NGFF port where the wireless card was installed) with a GTX 1070 G1 and a regular ATX power suply and it works freaking well.
I know it's some kind of frankenstein but it works and considering the Lenovo was free from work, I have a really budget gaming PC for around 60€ the CPU, 45 the Beast adapter and 150€ for the GTX. Cinebench score went from high 300 (with stock CPU) to high 800 to low 900.
I'm super happy with it.

"Working on a filled loop is perfectly fine"
-Linus
Some year later those processors costs half the price and are good bargain for someone who needs a small CPU for a homemade server.
It seems you can have the 6c/12t CPU (45W TDP, $70) working on a B250 board, that is absolutely amazing because:
- it's cheap
- it's less power hungry than comparable i3-5-7 within the same price bracket
- it offers six cores (something you won't get to work otherwise)
im have a motherboard with b250 chipset, you use termalpad 3mm for install coleer ? im have heatsink stock and reverse fan ( sorry for my bad english xd)
@@RoMeeLShEzAiT I use third party heatsinks; most of them works.
You don't need something powerful since those CPUs are built for laptops and if you don't mess with them they are on the (slow but) cooler side.
I don't remember exactly the price or the model (the case is buried in a small server) but I used a cheap €30 heatsink.

@@mareli82 Hahaha, same here! The days when I reinstalled Windows 98 so many times I could recite the product key from memory.
I reckon, regarding the CPU hold down plate, that they milled the retail version to the exact specs of the sample that was pre-installed, and then went and electroplated it afterwards. Even if the plating was perfectly flat it would be dodgy, but that would rarely be completely flat so there would be a very small increase in thickness around the top edges of the plates.
Linus you should have a torque screwdriver (like a torque wrench but a screwdriver) for stuff like this. I use one to install EPYC CPUs in servers as is recommended by AMD. It will allow you to accurately and consistently set your hold down pressure with this type of CPU retention.
Soon: China going to be spitting out “mostly” compatible cpus wholly made in china, but disguised as salvaged cpus.
It kind of makes sense they're doing salvaged atm. They make everything, and the rejects get thrown away, so what's the point in building a separate factory that makes close replicas? The rejects are cheaper.

@@SviatoslavDamaschin Totally agree.
But it all depends upon which company in China makes what - some things are low quality (or even nasty knockoffs or fakes and I can provide photo proof but no way to add it here) and some are OK and some are actually good quality.
@@xo4205 just look around and pick anything you find it has a good quality. there is a 90% percent chance it is made in China.
The exposed die is old tec that is supposed to directly bypass the aluminum cover for better heat dissipation.
I have an AMD Athlon XP 2600 from an HP from the 2000's (AMD2600XP) You had to be careful putting the heat sink on because you can crack the die\chip if you over tighten your cooler. I believe substituent lines went back to the heat spreader due to people fracturing the chips.
My info is a bit old, same time... this is nothing new or to get excited about.
The coolest bit was being able to take the heat right off the chips itself, like I added an aftermarket cooler and arctic silver 5 back in the day and dropped temp by 10-15 degrees.
Honestly this seems really promising for a home lab setup where you want a laptop chip because they are designed to be more efficient than desktop chips and reduce your power consumption while keeping a lot of the performance. If it was at all stable or supported.

I OCed my old Core2 on an Intel stock cooler. It probably would have done brilliantly with a water block or even an after market decent air cooler.
@@NeuronalAxondo you know those big aftermarket stock coolers , I had one of those , I decided to pare it with a Pentium e6500 running at 2.93 , overclocked it to 3.54 GHz and it was still okay, but it was not a free cooler that comes with the cpu so I don't think it counts. Did yours had a bigger heatsink too or was it a slim 1-2$ cooler
@@fatih9016 - It came with the CPU - looked just like the one Linus had in his hand.
I had an overclocked i7 3770 on a stock cooler a while ago lol.
NeuronalAxon - that doesn't really count anymore. Intel downgraded the stock coolers further and further until they just became a bare thin slice of primitive pressed Aluminium. Meanwhile the real power usage has risen, power density per area skyrocketed and st times they did put toothpaste between the chip and heat spreader. You could OC a Core2 but especially after Ivy Bridge the coolers just became the absolute bare minimum to run day to day loads.

If there's a AM4 version with laptop Intel CPUs available to be soldered on, then that would be amazingly interesting.
That would require an interposer, which would induce latency, and would also need to be custom silicon. Anyone with the capitol to do so has no incentive. If they did, imagine making the interposer able to glue multiple intel laptop CPUs into a Frankensteins monster...i9-9980hkx2 is a monster I would surely buy.

You can actually check whether the die is flush, lower, or higher than the surrounding shim plate. Just take a razor blade or a thin metal ruler, stand the long edge across the shim plate and cpu die, and shine some light through it. If there is even a slight separation between the razor blade / ruler and the object it stands on, light will pass through.
If you don't have a thin metal ruler, you can even use art knife refills or metal plates with known straight edges. For the light source, it can be a mobile phone flashlight, or even ceiling lighting.
Whoa... I just got a customers PC to fix and took the air cooler off and boom.. it was one of these chips. I found this video by searching the part number on the mounting plate.. Mr. Su!!!!
This is exactly the kind of enthusiast project I love! I can see that it was frustrating to work with, but anything that's a weird workaround to get performance for less money warms my heart.
Whether it's using the superior-clocking mobile processors of Socket A and 754 in desktop boards to get better performance than their desktop CPUs could provide, using core-unlocking BIOS features on Phenom-II chips, doing the LGA 771-to-775 mod, or just generally finding the right compatible Xeon to go beyond desktop CPU offerings like on LGA 2011, I love workarounds that give the savvy tech fan an opportunity to exceed the limits the manufacturer intended to impose on the end user!
I even used to buy AMD Thuban processors with missing pins for salvage prices and put replacement pins made from strands of CAT-5 into the socket where the missing pins on the CPU would line up. That worked perfectly almost every time, with the one failure costing me a Gigabyte 990FXA-UD7, which did sting quite a bit at the time. Still worth it overall though!
The particular mod you were playing with seems like it could work once the BIOS issues get squared away, and was fun to watch. Thanks!
That's actually a pretty interesting design to reduce thermal insulation while keeping the chip relatively safe. Intel and AMD could learn something from these guys, certainly.
I'm glad the funnel has a sticker marking it as funnel, otherwise no-one would have known what it was.
I would like these shims in general as mounting solution
12:09 That is exactly what it looks like when I exit and then enter GTA 5 in fullscreen mode via Alt+Tab for the first time after launching. Seriously, the glitches and noise are 100% identical.
Its not a glitch you probably lack GPU drivers or your PC is over clocked.
@@abyssstrider2547 Well, it technically is a gitch, isn't it, but caused by the driver for sure. My PC is overclocked, but that isn't the issue.
GTA 5 still crashes on me sometimes, and I think it's still mostly a graphics driver issue.
I actually underclock my GPUs to get it stable, which has worked up until recently, meaning it sometimes crashes again.
Regardless, the fact that underclocking the GPUs is a necessary step to get the game stable shows that it isn't really working that well with the driver and/or the hardware itself.

In all honesty, China sounds like a whole lot of fun for anyone with a knack for this kind of thing
Hey Linus, got an idea for you... Why don't you get some atomized colloidal copper powder. Place a small pile of it on you chip, clamp down your cooling solution (periodically backing the screws out a quarter turn, and shimmying the cold plate a little, to even out the powder distribution), then carefully hit all for sides with a heat gun, to momentarily liquify the copper colloid. Maybe even have two people, and develope a system of one tightening down the cooling solution, while another simultaneously heat guns the copper. If you can melt that pile flat, with the cooler all the way down, that would probably be the best possible thermal conduction, and subsequent heat transfer, that would be practical for civilian (non commercial or industrial solution) use today, that is currently possible for home PC's and Laptops (although I'm sure, if scaled up, it could be developed into a commercial or industrial solution as well...) Just an idea (gets you rich remember me!!!)💡😜🤪 ...L8r 👍

not a single AIO is "flat" they are concaved in the middle. meaning the center is further away than the outside edges of the block.
the reason they are cheap AF, is because they don't put any work into the parts after they are spit out of the cnc. Center gets the most milling work, so it expands more than the outsides and that's why. You see this happen a lot with companies that just want to push out products that basically work, not build a quality product by slowing down a bit, or finishing them correctly.
lap all aio blocks BEFORE, using for far better cooling.
I really need videos like this about the Ivy Bridge processors =)
but you know what isnt a mystery...

And Linus is using the Seasonic SnowSilent 1050W, which happens to be $615 of Canadian coloured plastic.
I think majority of Chinese CPUs are like that, the last time I wanted to upgrade my PC from Celeron to Core i7, I saw those kind of CPUs from a computer company called i-Life, it's a Chinese company. The CPU was soldered to the motherboard and so was the RAM, the RAM too was unmodifiable and the hardware looked like a mobile hardware for a motherboard. The battery is quite big and it has another board specifically for peripherals, RJ-45 and other system stuff and even though they said it's gonna have a SSD, it actually came with a HDD. So, I couldn't upgrade it, I put the system case back together and continued using the PC the way it is. The only thing upgradable here was the HDD though and the laptop itself is a complete copy of Mac running Windows, I have pictures and the computer itself was about less than $500.
Here's a suggestion for quick and dirty figuring out the flatness of a surface.
Buy/use a Metal straight edge ruler.
put it's edge against the surface and look for light through gaps between the two.
Works great for checking lapped heatsink flatness.

It's not designed to take over Intel or AMD. It's designed to keep American Intel and AMD providing cpus for China. You know what I mean.

@@user-dn2dc9px4y does China basically rule the cpu industry?
@@trytoneee Actually if you think about it china rules every technology-related industry
CPU to CPU Adapters yeah they had them out when 775 and 478 boards were converging over. you could use 478 cpu to 775 because they were compatible to work on 775 boards
Also Imagine liquid metaling one of them and putting a really good noctua air cooler on it and overclocking it to 5 GHz. It would probably only require 35-40 Watts max for that

I have a prebuilt starter PC plus, with really nice specs, but I just like Linus talking about things I don’t understand, but would like to learn
I love the way you just ESD the dickens out of electronic parts.
I guess it's been a while now but CPUs used to have no covers on the die during the P-III / K7 times. They didn't even have those aluminium frames, if you were lucky they had four rubber dots in each corner. Quite a point of failure tbh, I saw a bunch of dies with cracked edges because coolers had been brute-forced on them in the wrong direction. In retrospect, way too many for my poor soul...

Now everything makes sense
"What would normally be the the the mounting plate for the socket"
a bottle neck in his voice? oh my
You've obviously never seen Linustechtips before.
I've seen linustechtips many times since I am a subscriber of his channel. And this is the first and only time I will comment about his voice like bottlenecking. So Yeah MAYBE this IS the FIRST TIME I seen this channel.☺
@@ybasmediablitz I read your comment 3 times and still couldn't understand your point. Just because you're subscribed to a channel doesn't mean you watch their videos 😂
What I mean on my comment is he is stuttering saying " THE" no other meanings and instead of saying stuttering, I used the word bottleneck okay?. That's all I am pointing out. And like what I said I've seen many times, not all the time. So I am familiar to Linus stuttering in some words okay? Oh my....
I wanted to post about this, then waited to the end and found that I was kinda right in my head:
All your success was on the first mounting plate. Ten after you removed it, you had all kinds of issues. Seems like some of the other ones they sent didn't have correct dimensions and probably caused either heat issues and / or mounting pressure issues.
would be great seeing chinese cpu manufacturers producing really serious mips, sparc and powerpc stuff, would be the end of amd64 architecture
