This needs more likes
Joe Gravel goo up
HAHA!!!
Lmao
wrg, do any nmw s ok
You should make a super cheap PC made with all chinese sketchy hardware! You've already showed waterblocks and GPU's, now with this CPU you are already close.
yea, but sketchy chinese built PSU has a chance of taking out his whole building
didn't they do something similar with Strange Parts? Not exactly what you're suggesting, but close? maybe?
@@shawnpitman876 lmao dude, you are absolutely right. I call some of the sketchy PSU boom.
Some of the Chinese parts he has tested (like the Barrow water cooling parts) are not sketchy at all. They are well-known and reputable in the region, just not known in the Western market, even though chances are they are sold in North America or Europe under different brands.
I've seen RGB ram and a motherboard on AliExpress as well, so you can make an all-aliexpress pc
Most notable words of the day
-Voltage at Zero Degrees
-Jerryrigged
-Canadian Rubles
you do know that "jerryrigeverything" is a play on the phrase "jury rig" which means makeshift repairs and stuff? also linus calls CAD canadian rubles or rupees every time he refers to them so thats not a unique phrase here. i'd agree with voltage at zero degrees though.
Canadian roubles was really weird for me. I like what, the use roubles in Canada too?
@@maskettaman1488 ok I see. My mind was a little bit offshore at the moment I watched this moment. And for one second I thought in Canada you have roubles as well...
But actually, technically 0 degrees is equal to 0 volts. (Mathematically)
Hey I was about to comment that as a meme "-Voltage at Zero Degrees"
This is actually a really cool concept converting mobile CPU's to desktop CPU's. I wonder if there are more out there like this
yes there would be
Yeah, there are a few that pop out from time to time and legend says there's a dude in Shenzhen that does conversions. Strange Parts fellow might be able to find the source...tho i don't know that they'd want to show on tape.
A halo youtuber watching linus? Nice
Hey it’s you! Damn it’s crazy seeing you after so long

"Voltage at zero degrees"
Linus Why??
AC voltage can be mesured in degrees as it oscilated at a given frequency
through two 180° sine waves.
It becomes even more complex when one has Three Phase or when ther are
Inductve/capacitive loads causing voltage to lead current or vice vesa.
Answer me this. Does current flow over the surface of a conductor or does it flow
through it like water through a pipe?
@@andrew_koala2974 The AC voltage is measured in volts. The "phase" (more appropriately phase difference) can be measured in degrees, provided you have a multi-phase system. The CPU runs on DC, so no phase, and no 'degree' measurements.
Also, lets cut this guy some slack. 'twas a slip of tongue. Happens all the time.
@@asadulhaq6689 Yeah I agree and I believe this is true since he has just mentioned 26 degrees for the temperature. No big deal, Linus knew it..

How is it sad? The i7-4720HQ was an incredible processor when it came out, and it still is. Thats why it was used in the $2700 2015 Razer Blade 14", because its pretty fast.
And yeah I know that price is kind of inflated because Razer, but still, it was a very high end processor when it came out. A few years later it better still be dang fast.
@@-Burb the 4th gen is pretty amazing, I'm still using a 4700mq from 6 years ago. unthinkable how little intel improved all these years. their ssd aren't that good either, I think the best product they make are wifi cards now.

@Lemur Monkey didn’t read
@Lemur Monkey vruh
A guess: some of those missing pads are grounds that have been made common. Result, at least one of the voltage sensor circuits is missing its ground connection and thus the 0v reading.
@Kappa Yeah but specific pins on the socket have to be making contact with that shorted ground for it to make the reading, it cant use the ground pins from another pin in the socket to get those reading because it's not hooked up to the sensor. The grounds would all have to be shorted together on the board side too......
both in desktops and laps there are some pin actually useless to get the cpu running. if you use a bga to take a laptop cpu off you ll find many pins are not connected to the motherboard.
4:24 - You know you've reached peak nerd when you have memorized the pin layouts for a 4 year old motherboard.
Isn't the power pin always next to the reset? The reset is the one with one pin missing. Very easy to find.
Not quite, you reach peak nerd when somebody asks you about a motherboard from 30 years ago that you were familiar with... And you can tell them. :)
Its pretty standard to be honest.... those layouts have been the same for years across most motherboards.

I like the idea. The Execution is a bit ruff, but I like the idea.
Chinese man.....they're crazy
All resources being considered, are you sure that'd actually produce less waste in the long run than just ramping up production of new processors?
You're still spending the resources of making and soldering a new board, along with all the overhead of designing and maintaining it. Plus, being not only a mobile chip but also an old one at that, it probably won't last half as long as a new one would, and it'll suck up more electricity in the process.

Traditional readers can read simplified fine, don't know what a lot of these people are going on about, and simplified readers can read traditional but may find some words they can't read.
@@justiful9215 No, because Chinese is an ideogram, which you can find out the meaning of the word by analysis the character, so it is very easy, for simplified Chinese user, to recognize the meaning of traditional Chinese word.

@@PileOfEmptyTapes someone in somewhere could use this cpu, maybe in China. There is a lot gaming center than need good performance and low cost to operate. This is a great way to recycle old hardware with great capability in gaming.
并不是从损坏的笔记本电脑上回收回来的，而是从一些大品牌的生产厂中买回来的，例如华硕之类的厂商并不会买回来每一代的CPU都全部安装在笔记本上，当上一代CPU没用完而intel出新CPU时，厂商就会停止就的上产线，所以全新的笔记本处理器会流入市场。
@@翛然-v3h say "It's not recovered from a damaged laptop, but bought from some big-name manufacturers. For example, manufacturers like Asus will not buy back every generation of CPUs installed on laptops. When the first-generation CPU is not used up and the Intel enters the new CPU, the manufacturer will stop the production line, so the new notebook processor will flow into the market."
that make sense, so they use unused CPU and recover it. turning junk into a useable cpu

This only makes sense for Chinese people to buy, and that's the market it's intended for. Shipping within China is dirt cheap. You can get something from anywhere in mainland to wherever your door is for about 2$-5$ and Taobao protects buyers: you can actually make sure it works before confirming reception. Only then does the seller receive any money. Otherwise you can file for a return and they usually refund shipping too. I'd say this comes from a vendor that probably got his hands on a stockpile of laptops with dead motherboards and figured the converted CPUs would sell much faster like that than as spare parts for old laptops.
Iberville Music lets just connect the us with china to make the shipping cheaper
Also, on another website called jd.com, you pay 14 bucks to get your product in 2 hours (of course only in big city)
I could see it making sense for some Americans *IF* they needed the lower power consumption in a desktop package... Then again, hell, you could just buy a laptop.
Harenchi - San only for jd.com, you can get it by tomorrow morning.

@Bor Zver you know he shoots couple of videos a day... This video was shoot not today but couple of days ago... Also he has 5 editors soo... Yeah
Bor Zver He has a team (Linus Media *Group* ) and it’s his full-time job. It’s not really all that much when you consider that each video is roughly only 15 minutes long and he has more than enough editors.
@Bor Zver Most of these videos are pre-recorded from a few days ago, usually anywhere from a week to two weeks from before. Then he sends them to his team of like 5-6 editors who then edit it, then when they finish editing them they usually put them on delayed releases on youtube. Linus usually releases his stuff on Floatplane first, and releases stuff on youtube like a few days later. So usually by the time that non time sensitive videos like this reach youtube, he probably has like 5-10 videos stockpiled to be release every other day.

Australian store has the same item for $900....
@@ziomalisty good question that what I was wondering?
Send your 1980's computer parts to Linus. He can build the future.
"Today's episode is brought to you by Origin PC, Origin BC"
i noticed this too
Is that a Chinese copy of Origin PC?

Shock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i had to play it again to make sure, i thought i was going crazy :')
Let's all be glad Intel doesn't take extra precautions to Killswitch/lock processors to certain functions. A quality Apple has taken up. Keep the tech freedom going!
Too much expenditure for that
There was a time when every single processor released by Intel are free to overclock the hell out of it. Now we have to pay extra to get that function. Just saying.
Dang! Last time I watched Linus he was doing unboxing for NCIX vancouver. Now at 7.3mil subs wut! Good going bro!
@CHARLES 13X Hah good one
For a while over the last year to year and a half, i felt that the content you guys put out was missing something. Seems like things are getting better now from at least my perspective. Keep it up!
These cpus are named as "magically modified" cpus. It would be much better to make the shipment to a china address and find some friend to bring it here, just if you really wanna these "cheap" chips. Usually for directly overseas shipping, "tax", "addition shipping fee" take place since taobao is not an international online shopping website. BTW, be aware that taobao sells lower quality stuffs than tmall, tmall and taobao are both sub-brands of ali-express.
Or use a shipping agent such as Superbuy or CSSBuy.
Magically modified... You know you could just say "hacked" because 魔改造 was a Japanese word that got used in Chinese AFAIK.
M.
@@lol2094 yup you can get around the taxes and such via those agenrs with a little bit of risk.
With all that said, the cpu was a good deal
*THUMBS UP SO LUNUSTECHTIPS CAN SEE!*
Linus team... 4-th gen mobile processors support increasing the turbo boost of all cores to the frequency of the single core. Which means - if for example the turbo boost for single core is 3.8, you could bump up the clockspeeds for ALL 4 CORES to 3.8 Ghz. You can also undervolt it via Intel XTU because it's a mobile chip.
Linus should do a full Frankenstein build!

Are the monstrosities made in Scrapyard Wars not enough for you?

I used to dropship i7-6700T engineering samples off aliexpress. Good times
Was dropshipping worth it? My mates seem to be all hyped up about the idea of it
.
@@dnbmania Honestly, I would recommend you stay as far away from it as possible. Being the middle man, and having to make up stories to satisfy both the buyer and the seller, processing returns, etc, it was hell. Also, having buyers try to scam you doesn't help. It is a high risk, low reward situation. For about $2400 of sales (not profit, sales), I (with many hours spent every day micromanaging everything, I netted about -$4.00. And not worth the stress and enormous amount of starting capital you need (ebay and amazon, etc. don't pay you until 21-30 days after the buyer has paid).
-$4 you say? You make a compelling argument!
@@DevinKan Honestly, you sound like you were doing it wrong. You could fill out sweepstakes all day on fake accounts and probably come out further ahead.
I mean, if you had fun, okay, but seriously, that sounds stupid as hell.
"Great! Much better than expected!" Has to pay to get it shipped across the Pacific "Would not recomend"

@@ALFABETAS999 Yeah, here in the U.S. China shipping is always included in the price, and the price is low. And I've *never* had a mailman ask for money at the door, and I've ordered thousands of items from eBay.
but we chinese fans pretty love this video!!!!!
HQ? Aren't these CPUs unlocked? Try overclocking it for the next video
in 4-th gen they are partially unlocked, yes, I wish they actually tried it in Intel XTU
And burn the chip...I’m down for that...would love to see Linus lose that click bait money XD
Saurav Nayak ive overclocked this it goes a but but if you go overboard the pc crashes
Ti22 huh...I’m surprised that thing even handled a simple overclock
Kudos to u for taking the risk
If this is possible surely an i9 8950hk or an i7 8750h can be made in the same format. It would actually be worth the money then too. Considering bga laptop processors are cheaper than desktop counterparts
I have shopped on Taobao several times and had stuff shipped to the U.S., never come across any sellers asking for extra money for misc. expenses. But, this was in 2020, and Taobao's global shipping program has come a long way.
Oh, and if you want some cool SFF PC cases, there are some pretty awesome options for under $50USD.
Linus should do a video where he puts an entire computer together out of questionable parts from these shady websites. and make it run.
would be fun
it's not "shady" tho
see, it's that second part where he'd 'drop' the ball.
With my experience TaoBao is actually a great site. Everything that is on eBay usually comes from TapBao. It has its scetchy sides though.
yes it's actually the biggest chinese online market..... I used to buy all the stuff on taobao when I was in China, and you could find lots of more interesting stuff than this on Taobao

@@nbshftr sometimes they don't ship the actual goods and only the box to scam you, but reading comments and reviews helps
those 4th gen are still really good im still using 4790k and its still a beast no reason to upgrade anytime soon
I am using a 4790k aswell, great chip
I have an i5 4690K and it still is holding up great with modern games. I'll probably need to upgrade my R9 390 before I need to upgrade the cpu.
mine too still can hold up with 7700 non k with slightly 10% in 4.4ghz
Still worth for upgrade who uses below 4700k(if you can find 4980hq in 1151 socket)
Because:
1.iris igpu
2.l4 chche
3.low power consumption at stock because it's a laptop CPU (also overclock it below 4.4ghz)
4.too cheap in China (price dropped recently)
Even some people doing some test and branchmark finds out that igpu is good at mining in some point
The only cons I know is:
1.cut down least cache
2.overclock setting not store properly
I’m using 2700k at 4.8 should be around same performance. 4th gen is still beast too
This video inadvertently makes me feel better about still running a 4790k. Thanks Linus and crew :)
But can it be overclocked 😂
Not an unlocked chip.
As far as I know, the 4720hq can be overclocked but it depends on the motherboard and the broken voltage readout could make it difficult
Sir Nassz explain how I’ve been whoooshed.

Taobao(淘宝)is one of the biggest online platforms you will find worldwide, so I wouldn't call it weird or random. However, the lack of censorship toward sellers make it hard to have you guaranteed goods. As an online shopper myself, I bought most of my books from it because they are cheap there. But if you know your business, me for example, I know how to select the good ones instead of lower quality ones even frauds, you can save a lot of money.
Please tell me the tips to find a real one:)

i was just about to point that out lol
*Origin 🅱️C

now call intel and send it in for RMA lmao see their reaction
Heck, you already bought a sketchy CPU, Why not delid it?
Yah especially if it's a cheap/ low quality TIM job, it would make a big difference.
To accomplish what? It doesn't appear to be limited by heat or power, and it's not overclockable.
I’d imagine you’d risk breaking the BGA solder joints that attack to the adapter board
@@GregMcNamer not officially, but most can handle 3.8ghz at least on two cores.
Some of those are pre delied
I'd rather buy a Ryzen 3 CPU at this price point, its better in single thread performance and Z97/87 board are expensive and its a dead platform.
If you a buy B250/450 and a Ryzen 3, its going to be cheaper and you will have an upgrade path.
And yes I understand that the point of this video wasnt to show the ''value'' of this CPU.
There just had to be an "I'd rather" guy
@@JetBen555 cabagge
if you have a danm old Haswell PC, you can upgrade it.
Who is the idiot that would buy that CPU to build a 4Th gen PC? Anyone I guess
ryzen 3 - is shit, not i7 lvl. Where did you find single thread perfomance on Ryzen 3? There is no any perfomans, its garbage
@@ZMangles Well it was (and I think its still is) popular to build X58 rig on the cheap for example. the X5650 is an unlocked 6 cores CPU that can be OCd to 4.5ghz and it still has decent IPC.
I've put an i7-3610qm socketed laptop CPU in a mini-ITX board before, but I never expected a BGA laptop CPU to be Jerry rigged into a desktop socket form factor. What the heck this is awesome lol. And it's a great price of boards can be found to go with it and work well lol. This would make an awesome streaming PC, wouldn't heat the room up at all! Quicksync hardware encoding works on this chip, would actually be a great CPU for premeire editing given it's value...if those added shipping costs can be avoided.
What board? Any z97?
@@Corei14 apparently H81 B85 H87 Z87, so I imagine z97 should be fine too.
I actually have an i7-4710-HQ CPU in a Gigabyte P34V2 laptop, and it's quite awesome.
It's interesting watching linus review all this Chinese tech.
I recently bought a Chinese sim racing wheel and it's an amazing product.
almost everything in your computer is probably a chinese product.
I think Linus should mention the fact that importing hardware from China is extremely time consuming, and comes with some risks that aren't really worth the 80 dollars you're saving. If anything happens during shipping, or if the chip is DOA, you're looking at several weeks of down time. It could take longer than that.
voltage 0 degrees ? Wtf linus :D ?
HAHA I know..

Welcome to 2005 when the fastest Amd 754 was the Mobile Athlon 4000+ running on desktop boards at 3+ ghz... a single core beating duals. MOBILE PROCESSORS WERE USED FOR OVERCLOCK ON DESKTOP FOR DECADES for the lower temperature/price… that Core2Q Extremes... But UA-cam here we go again!
i'm still rocking a i5-2500 and it's pretty good in games
Same here, got a sweet OC to 4.5GHz and it's stable as anything
I've replaced my i5-2500 for a Xeon E5-2680v2, new motherboard and 32 GBs of DDR3 REG ECC RAM, for a total less of just a 8700k while performance is very comparable. Best 300 euros i've spent in a while.
OMG i5？
Still rocking the I5 750. Not a painless experience
@@benedykt123313 huanan motherboard?
The voice cracks in this video were at a mindblowing level
I'm still rocking a Intel core i7 4790k @ 4.4Ghz & 16GB DDR3 Memory @ 2400Mhz using a Nvidia 4GB GTX 980 still plays all games fine with 0 bottlenecks. Looking at benchmarks online the Intel core i7 8700k is not that much faster in games. 4790k still holds it's own no need to upgrade!
I had a 6-core 3930k @ 4.5hz and the same ram setup and went to a 7700k and it wasn't that much faster for most things - but it is faster, except for VR, in VR where stuff is rarely multi-threaded the 7700k was much faster. However the 4-score 7700k was slower overall, as in day to day desktop usage, it was laggy compared to the 6-core 3930k and I hated it. I went to an 8700k which gives you all the game performance increase of the 7700k, but with 6-cores - compared to a 4770k it's a huge increase in system performance.
I've got an Intel i7-2600k at 3.4ghz with a 1070 graphics card. Despite the fact that it only has 4gb of RAM (the rest have died over the years since it was new) it still runs just about every game just fine on a 1920 x 1080 screen. That includes Fallout4 in VR, although it struggles a bit with Skyrim VR since I've put some mods on. If I could get new RAM for it, it would be great. Unfortunately it's very hard to get DDR2 nowadays.
@@Here_is_Waldo I haven't used such a crappy low res monitor like that since 2006 when I went from a 1920x1200 to a 2560x1600. If you're gaming like a peasant at 1080p you don't really need much to pull it off.
@@rodmunch69 MmmHmmm. Sure. Ignoring the fact that the 2600k is more than capable of running at 4k since that's more GPU than CPU, I'm not willing to trash a perfectly good PC and spend $2000 just for an extra 10fps that I won't notice. You can call me a peasant while I have money in the bank and you sit flat broke in front of your widescreen.
