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 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.
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.
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.
No props to the editor who didn't catch the goof-up at 3:36 "So this shim that goes around it, prevents us from putting a CPU on top of this thing and have it rock back and forth..." Hmmm you mean it prevents us from putting a cooler on top of the thing. xD
@@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
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.
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!
Awesome stuff. I used to build computers, and this reminded me of tinkering with my desktop every weekend. Cool video. I have not built a computer in years and this is almost making me think about building another one.
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.
Its already been established that they only label things that go in the shop, so if it has a label, it goes into the workshop area and not a random other bin. And, stop using that dead fuckin annoying meme. Its everywhere, not funny, and never makes sense. Linus didn't even do the stickerage, and like the other guy said, if nobody said nothing, that means everyone was talking. Youre literally just making fun of a company for being organized anyway? Like, why?
Here's today's episode of LinusTechTips "Out of Context Theater": Alex: "Yeah; you pull and pinch, I'll plug". Linus: OK, but what about this hole?" Alex: Uh, that hole's fine." End scene.
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.
Yep I caught that too at 3:36 "So this shim that goes around it, prevents us from putting a *CPU* on top of this thing and have it rock back and forth..." Hmmm you mean it prevents us from putting a *cooler* on top of the thing. xD

I'm fairly certain this isn't the first time that you've seen this, you did a video on a similar product a while back. A laptop processor that had been retro fitted to work in a desktop by soldering it to another PC, but this looks like a much cleaner product in my opinion. That said, awesome video and very cool product.

but you know what isnt a mystery... this message from our sponsor corsairs hydro x lineup buy your watercooling gear at the link in the description below
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.
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.
Just about everything in the Chinese home market might as well be alien technology, since the communist government bans just about everything the rest of the world enjoys so they have to engineer their own.
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.
technically aluminum is correct. that's the american (and first) pronunciation. the british took it and had to get stuff and make it sound like all the others, so they changed it to the -ium ending. but, that said... the british pronunciation has been around so long, it's also correct now, too. anyway...
@@ilovefunnyamv2nd no, aluminium makes my ears bleed. lol xD but really, for probably exactly the same reason (the way i learned it first) one sounds right to me, and the other sounds like nails on a chalkboard.
@@tzxazrael Precisely what I was going to type. Why do people complain about "aluminum" ending with -um and not "platinum" or "molybdenum?" Both versions of aluminum/ium would considered correct these days.
“Of course, if we were gonna be rendering all day and we had 150$ to spend, we would just go for a Core i5 8400 or something like that with six cores…” Well, I do hope you would go with something other like that when you’d want to game at a relatively low price point. If I recall correctly, you yourself were pretty clear that a Ryzen 5 is better in heavily multithreaded tasks and at least close in most other scenarios.
i mean... Intel has been "the one" for so long. it's going to take time to get used to AMD actually being a viable competitor again after so long. Plus intel has basically been sitting on its ass for years, not really doing anything because they didn't have to. so, will AMD's current reign even be able to last very long? i mean, who knows, either way competition is good. let's hope they both stay competitive for everyone's benefit. now we need someone to come up and mess with Nvidia... do something to start clawing high-end gfx card prices down...
@@Ckcdillpickle i mean, i got some free games with my RTX 2080, probably at least the same retail value... but that doesn't mean any of the games are ones i actually WANT or play... so that's hardly an effective bonus. (also; bought in summer '18 or so, when there was nothing even close, or i might have tried something like 5700xt)
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.

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.

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.

I'm more impressed to see sometnig that even an intel stock cooler can cool
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.

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!

Awesome stuff. I used to build computers, and this reminded me of tinkering with my desktop every weekend. Cool video. I have not built a computer in years and this is almost making me think about building another one.
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 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.

A+ quality comment mate
Isn't it a back to the future reference?
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.
I've heard of these for YEARS. I've always wondered, though, since I've never owned one.
'Genuine Intel CPU 0000'
I love that. At least the BIOS recognized it as a real CPU.
Well Its Not Worng
Oh how about upgrade cpu trun powerfull ? Not intel but AMD
Listening to Vulfpeck, ah, I see you're a man of culture as well.
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.

Just about everything in the Chinese home market might as well be alien technology, since the communist government bans just about everything the rest of the world enjoys so they have to engineer their own.

@Not888 Like this Segway! Glasswire!

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.

Every time I - as an non-native Englisch speaker - hear "Aluminum" my ears start bleeding ;)
technically aluminum is correct. that's the american (and first) pronunciation. the british took it and had to get stuff and make it sound like all the others, so they changed it to the -ium ending. but, that said... the british pronunciation has been around so long, it's also correct now, too. anyway...
@@ilovefunnyamv2nd no, aluminium makes my ears bleed. lol xD
but really, for probably exactly the same reason (the way i learned it first) one sounds right to me, and the other sounds like nails on a chalkboard.

@@jeschinstad lol feb-yoo-wary... i mean it's literally how everyone ever says it...
@@tzxazrael Precisely what I was going to type. Why do people complain about "aluminum" ending with -um and not "platinum" or "molybdenum?" Both versions of aluminum/ium would considered correct these days.
“Of course, if we were gonna be rendering all day and we had 150$ to spend, we would just go for a Core i5 8400 or something like that with six cores…”
Well, I do hope you would go with something other like that when you’d want to game at a relatively low price point. If I recall correctly, you yourself were pretty clear that a Ryzen 5 is better in heavily multithreaded tasks and at least close in most other scenarios.
My ryzen cost less and is more powerful than my i5-8400
i mean... Intel has been "the one" for so long. it's going to take time to get used to AMD actually being a viable competitor again after so long. Plus intel has basically been sitting on its ass for years, not really doing anything because they didn't have to. so, will AMD's current reign even be able to last very long? i mean, who knows, either way competition is good. let's hope they both stay competitive for everyone's benefit.
now we need someone to come up and mess with Nvidia... do something to start clawing high-end gfx card prices down...
@@tzxazrael I just got a 5700xt, better deal than Nvidias closest gpu. You can get up to like 140$ worth of stuff from the free game you get and such
@@Ckcdillpickle i mean, i got some free games with my RTX 2080, probably at least the same retail value... but that doesn't mean any of the games are ones i actually WANT or play... so that's hardly an effective bonus. (also; bought in summer '18 or so, when there was nothing even close, or i might have tried something like 5700xt)
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.
