1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,600
so along with their review samples of the ryzen threadripper 1950x AMD sent

2
00:00:06,319 --> 00:00:14,799
to uh looks like 250 publications one of the

3
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:18,320
coolest pieces of swag of all time this

4
00:00:14,799 --> 00:00:21,920
right here in a custom acrylic magnetic

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:24,240
case is a vanity ryzen Threadripper

6
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:28,560
with an engraving of the name of the publication so in our case that's Linus

7
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:34,160
tech tips on the integrated heat spreader there's only one small problem

8
00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:37,680
this doesn't work so

9
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:42,000
today's objective is to remove the vanity spreader from

10
00:00:40,559 --> 00:00:48,440
this one and put it back together with a working

11
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,440
1950x

12
00:00:56,719 --> 00:01:03,680
sennheiser's pxc 550 wireless headphones feature up to 30 hours of battery life

13
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:07,760
noise guard hybrid adaptive noise cancellation and more check them out at

14
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,880
the link below so for our experiment we're going to

15
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:15,840
need a few things the vanity processor

16
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:18,320
a working processor with the carrier plate

17
00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:22,000
we're going to need a threadripper compatible cooler

18
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:28,479
when we fire it up to find out if it still works so we're going to use an nhu

19
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:30,159
14 tr4 sp3 from Noctua we're going to

20
00:01:28,479 --> 00:01:33,840
need a threadripper board so we've got an rog zenith extreme

21
00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:39,040
and finally this

22
00:01:35,439 --> 00:01:42,159
piece of beautiful artwork from der

23
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:45,119
bauer all right dare bauer okay look my

24
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:50,479
german's not that good this is the one prototype that i'm aware of of a thread

25
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:54,720
ripper d-litting tool i'm also gonna need one of these

26
00:01:52,240 --> 00:02:00,000
because the integrated heat spreader is soldered we're gonna have to melt the

27
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:04,079
solder in order to remove it all right

28
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:07,920
so let's put this baby on here number 39 of 250

29
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:12,640
you know i probably wouldn't be willing to uh to do this to it if AMD had given

30
00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:16,400
me the number one that i deserve instead of number 39.

31
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:20,720
i wonder who got number one where are the heating elements

32
00:02:18,319 --> 00:02:24,400
you know what yeah let's uh fine let's just put it here

33
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:29,200
so we want to throw this in

34
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:33,599
uh because we don't really want to reach exactly 355

35
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:38,800
we want to get a little lower than that about 15 degrees celsius less than that

36
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:42,319
that's when the solder on the CPU is actually going to melt and that's when

37
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:45,280
we're going to be able to pop it off ah hold on wait

38
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:49,599
i just thought of something there's fingerprints on the CPU right now

39
00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:54,800
i don't know if these gloves are going to be good enough but it shouldn't be that hot yet

40
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:59,280
if we bake this thing now it's probably going to like bake them

41
00:02:56,640 --> 00:03:01,950
onto it because of the grease and the oils

42
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,090
shoot

43
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:13,120
perfect okay i heard a little noise

44
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:16,000
um but i'm not 100 sure what it means

45
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:21,040
unfortunately this oven doesn't have a readout for what the actual temperature

46
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:26,000
is inside it's possible that it's about 100 degrees celsius

47
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:27,640
right now uh what the crap no it's also

48
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:31,519
possible that it's 250

49
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:37,040
uh-oh wait what what temperature did i want it at okay we might have thoroughly

50
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:41,680
this thing oh this is fahrenheit hold on how could it possibly be oh

51
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:46,799
because of the heating elements right above it the radiant heat okay

52
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:51,519
well it's do or die time with this

53
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:54,480
is this going to melt if we move fast enough

54
00:03:56,319 --> 00:04:03,200
oh this is making me nervous go

55
00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:08,080
oh my god look at the way it's mashing the pcb

56
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:12,480
there oh wow this is the uh

57
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:18,320
be all and end all of failed experiments right now yeah i don't think it shifted

58
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:20,560
it one bit okay so new developments we

59
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:24,720
broke off the screws over tightening it last time

60
00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:28,479
sheared them right off i drilled them out i put new ones in

61
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:34,639
those ones sheared off while i was trying to put them in because i didn't have quite the right threading blah blah

62
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:37,520
blah so we've got a new system

63
00:04:34,639 --> 00:04:40,880
i grabbed some leftover pieces of 16k gaming

64
00:04:38,479 --> 00:04:43,759
cool we are just gonna like self-tap this out tap this

65
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:49,280
okay sweet let's give it the full heat um

66
00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:54,000
so we may have to wait another five or ten minutes or so

67
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:57,440
there it is oh there it is there it is there it is

68
00:04:54,840 --> 00:05:02,000
okay oh look at that

69
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:05,199
oh it's beautiful oh why did i just drop that that was the good sign

70
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:10,800
okay so

71
00:05:09,039 --> 00:05:14,560
here's our dummy chip so i want to get the hunks off

72
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:17,919
quickly while it's still soft here remember guys

73
00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:22,960
there's nothing to damage here we're just practicing this is pure practice what do you think

74
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:26,560
pella should i do it should i risk a thousand dollar processor and you only

75
00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:30,960
live once right this is it the real chip goes in now while i'm

76
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:34,639
waiting for that actually i can uh work on my technique for removing the

77
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:38,240
silicone glue i really like what AMD's done they've put

78
00:05:36,479 --> 00:05:42,479
like some kind of glue or resin or something over all of these inner

79
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:48,560
uh surface mount components here means that if you slip a little bit you're very

80
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:51,199
unlikely to knock one off i've done that you know what that's a lot of pressure

81
00:05:49,759 --> 00:05:54,800
i'm putting on right now come on you vicious bastard oh there it

82
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:58,800
is there it is theoretically working chip

83
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:02,479
okay so now come on come up

84
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:05,919
now is the optimal time to get that off

85
00:06:03,919 --> 00:06:09,680
but i also don't want to spill it so what i'm going to do

86
00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:13,120
is i'm going to flip it upside down oh wow as soon as i touch it it

87
00:06:11,039 --> 00:06:16,880
solidifies oh no that one came off clean see see how easy they come off while

88
00:06:14,639 --> 00:06:20,000
it's nice and warm especially if it's not dead

89
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:23,280
which there's a good chance it's not so here's kind of a funny idea i see

90
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:26,639
diamond thermal compound is well known to be fairly abrasive so i won't be

91
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:33,039
using it on the top of the ihs but check this out

92
00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:36,400
look how much it shined up that die just like that

93
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:40,800
it's like two seconds so it takes off this uh

94
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,919
takes off this solder like nobody's business i don't know which way this

95
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:50,720
goes on so that's a thing and i guess it doesn't really matter

96
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:55,520
oh wait wait well i put a little more pressure on it

97
00:06:52,319 --> 00:06:58,000
than i wanted we are yoloing this

98
00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:01,880
no i wouldn't recommend this yes i'm doing it anyway

99
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:08,600
we're getting to a point now where if i accidentally slip with it it'll move the

100
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:13,280
ihs

101
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:19,039
so i forgot about this stage which means

102
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:22,000
there's some drying time involved let me just find out how long that takes

103
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:27,360
to dry this is actually a broken carrier but i

104
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:29,440
can't find our replacement ones so yo

105
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:32,560
please don't stop if you ask it nicely it won't stop

106
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:36,800
it slipped okay carrier frame

107
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:40,720
is as long as we get the CPU down

108
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:46,800
but it doesn't really matter that the carrier frame is kind of

109
00:07:43,039 --> 00:07:49,919
i don't think oh moment of truth man

110
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,800
moment of truth does it work

111
00:07:49,919 --> 00:07:56,000
does the vanity CPU work

112
00:07:54,479 --> 00:07:59,360
i don't remember the application method for threadripper so

113
00:07:57,759 --> 00:08:02,210
we're going to do it oh what a mess

114
00:08:00,879 --> 00:08:05,300
oh terrible

115
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,379
CPU

116
00:08:15,039 --> 00:08:21,360
here we go memory CPU

117
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:26,960
it's still on CPU oh it's still on CPU

118
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:31,280
oh it's updating no shut up not now

119
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:34,000
oh this is not a good sign code 0d

120
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,000
post error

121
00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:42,240
okay so what's code 0d

122
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:52,320
it's like the one thing that i could possibly want in a motherboard manual

123
00:08:49,519 --> 00:08:57,680
postcode 0d on rampage extreme blah blah blah

124
00:08:53,760 --> 00:09:00,240
disable asm storage off-road yeah no i

125
00:08:57,680 --> 00:09:03,519
really don't think that's gonna help me one thing is that i only have one eight

126
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:10,720
pin CPU connector plugged in and it is recommended to have two for ripper

127
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:15,519
shoot that is not a good sign

128
00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:22,399
okay why were we getting further before i forgot to plug in the HDMI connector

129
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,399
zero d post error

130
00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:34,160
no way it's up

131
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,839
32 gigs RAM detected

132
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:41,040
it's up the vanity CPU works

133
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:46,480
you have got to be freaking kidding me

134
00:09:43,839 --> 00:09:50,720
oh man okay so with the os loaded i'm going

135
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:54,880
