    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.

    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)

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

      I actually underclock my GPUs to get it stable, which has worked up until recently, meaning it sometimes crashes again.

    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.

      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

      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.

    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.
