00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.600
so along with their review samples of the ryzen threadripper 1950x AMD sent

00:00:06.319 --> 00:00:14.799
to uh looks like 250 publications one of the

00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:18.320
coolest pieces of swag of all time this

00:00:14.799 --> 00:00:21.920
right here in a custom acrylic magnetic

00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:24.240
case is a vanity ryzen Threadripper

00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:28.560
with an engraving of the name of the publication so in our case that's Linus

00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:34.160
tech tips on the integrated heat spreader there's only one small problem

00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:37.680
this doesn't work so

00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:42.000
today's objective is to remove the vanity spreader from

00:00:40.559 --> 00:00:48.440
this one and put it back together with a working

00:00:45.440 --> 00:00:48.440
1950x

00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:03.680
sennheiser's pxc 550 wireless headphones feature up to 30 hours of battery life

00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:07.760
noise guard hybrid adaptive noise cancellation and more check them out at

00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:10.880
the link below so for our experiment we're going to

00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:15.840
need a few things the vanity processor

00:01:13.520 --> 00:01:18.320
a working processor with the carrier plate

00:01:16.960 --> 00:01:22.000
we're going to need a threadripper compatible cooler

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

00:01:24.320 --> 00:01:30.159
14 tr4 sp3 from Noctua we're going to

00:01:28.479 --> 00:01:33.840
need a threadripper board so we've got an rog zenith extreme

00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:39.040
and finally this

00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:42.159
piece of beautiful artwork from der

00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:45.119
bauer all right dare bauer okay look my

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

00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:54.720
ripper d-litting tool i'm also gonna need one of these

00:01:52.240 --> 00:02:00.000
because the integrated heat spreader is soldered we're gonna have to melt the

00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:04.079
solder in order to remove it all right

00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:07.920
so let's put this baby on here number 39 of 250

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

00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:16.400
me the number one that i deserve instead of number 39.

00:02:14.640 --> 00:02:20.720
i wonder who got number one where are the heating elements

00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:24.400
you know what yeah let's uh fine let's just put it here

00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:29.200
so we want to throw this in

00:02:27.040 --> 00:02:33.599
uh because we don't really want to reach exactly 355

00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:38.800
we want to get a little lower than that about 15 degrees celsius less than that

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

00:02:40.480 --> 00:02:45.280
we're going to be able to pop it off ah hold on wait

00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:49.599
i just thought of something there's fingerprints on the CPU right now

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

00:02:52.640 --> 00:02:59.280
if we bake this thing now it's probably going to like bake them

00:02:56.640 --> 00:03:01.950
onto it because of the grease and the oils

00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:05.090
shoot

00:03:05.760 --> 00:03:13.120
perfect okay i heard a little noise

00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:16.000
um but i'm not 100 sure what it means

00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:21.040
unfortunately this oven doesn't have a readout for what the actual temperature

00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:26.000
is inside it's possible that it's about 100 degrees celsius

00:03:22.720 --> 00:03:27.640
right now uh what the crap no it's also

00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:31.519
possible that it's 250

00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:37.040
uh-oh wait what what temperature did i want it at okay we might have thoroughly

00:03:34.480 --> 00:03:41.680
this thing oh this is fahrenheit hold on how could it possibly be oh

00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:46.799
because of the heating elements right above it the radiant heat okay

00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:51.519
well it's do or die time with this

00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:54.480
is this going to melt if we move fast enough

00:03:56.319 --> 00:04:03.200
oh this is making me nervous go

00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:08.080
oh my god look at the way it's mashing the pcb

00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:12.480
there oh wow this is the uh

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

00:04:14.640 --> 00:04:20.560
it one bit okay so new developments we

00:04:18.320 --> 00:04:24.720
broke off the screws over tightening it last time

00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:28.479
sheared them right off i drilled them out i put new ones in

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

00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:37.520
blah so we've got a new system

00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:40.880
i grabbed some leftover pieces of 16k gaming

00:04:38.479 --> 00:04:43.759
cool we are just gonna like self-tap this out tap this

00:04:42.400 --> 00:04:49.280
okay sweet let's give it the full heat um

00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:54.000
so we may have to wait another five or ten minutes or so

00:04:51.520 --> 00:04:57.440
there it is oh there it is there it is there it is

00:04:54.840 --> 00:05:02.000
okay oh look at that

00:04:59.840 --> 00:05:05.199
oh it's beautiful oh why did i just drop that that was the good sign

00:05:05.840 --> 00:05:10.800
okay so

00:05:09.039 --> 00:05:14.560
here's our dummy chip so i want to get the hunks off

00:05:13.280 --> 00:05:17.919
quickly while it's still soft here remember guys

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

00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:26.560
pella should i do it should i risk a thousand dollar processor and you only

00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:30.960
live once right this is it the real chip goes in now while i'm

00:05:28.320 --> 00:05:34.639
waiting for that actually i can uh work on my technique for removing the

00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:38.240
silicone glue i really like what AMD's done they've put

00:05:36.479 --> 00:05:42.479
like some kind of glue or resin or something over all of these inner

00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:48.560
uh surface mount components here means that if you slip a little bit you're very

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

00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:54.800
i'm putting on right now come on you vicious bastard oh there it

00:05:53.440 --> 00:05:58.800
is there it is theoretically working chip

00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:02.479
okay so now come on come up

00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:05.919
now is the optimal time to get that off

00:06:03.919 --> 00:06:09.680
but i also don't want to spill it so what i'm going to do

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

00:06:11.039 --> 00:06:16.880
solidifies oh no that one came off clean see see how easy they come off while

00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:20.000
it's nice and warm especially if it's not dead

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

00:06:21.520 --> 00:06:26.639
diamond thermal compound is well known to be fairly abrasive so i won't be

00:06:25.520 --> 00:06:33.039
using it on the top of the ihs but check this out

00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:36.400
look how much it shined up that die just like that

00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:40.800
it's like two seconds so it takes off this uh

00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:43.919
takes off this solder like nobody's business i don't know which way this

00:06:42.960 --> 00:06:50.720
goes on so that's a thing and i guess it doesn't really matter

00:06:48.960 --> 00:06:55.520
oh wait wait well i put a little more pressure on it

00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:58.000
than i wanted we are yoloing this

00:06:55.520 --> 00:07:01.880
no i wouldn't recommend this yes i'm doing it anyway

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

00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:13.280
ihs

00:07:13.280 --> 00:07:19.039
so i forgot about this stage which means

00:07:16.880 --> 00:07:22.000
there's some drying time involved let me just find out how long that takes

00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:27.360
to dry this is actually a broken carrier but i

00:07:23.840 --> 00:07:29.440
can't find our replacement ones so yo

00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:32.560
please don't stop if you ask it nicely it won't stop

00:07:31.440 --> 00:07:36.800
it slipped okay carrier frame

00:07:35.280 --> 00:07:40.720
is as long as we get the CPU down

00:07:39.440 --> 00:07:46.800
but it doesn't really matter that the carrier frame is kind of

00:07:43.039 --> 00:07:49.919
i don't think oh moment of truth man

00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:50.800
moment of truth does it work

00:07:49.919 --> 00:07:56.000
does the vanity CPU work

00:07:54.479 --> 00:07:59.360
i don't remember the application method for threadripper so

00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:02.210
we're going to do it oh what a mess

00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:05.300
oh terrible

00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:11.379
CPU

00:08:15.039 --> 00:08:21.360
here we go memory CPU

00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:26.960
it's still on CPU oh it's still on CPU

00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:31.280
oh it's updating no shut up not now

00:08:26.960 --> 00:08:34.000
oh this is not a good sign code 0d

00:08:31.280 --> 00:08:34.000
post error

00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:42.240
okay so what's code 0d

00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:52.320
it's like the one thing that i could possibly want in a motherboard manual

00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:57.680
postcode 0d on rampage extreme blah blah blah

00:08:53.760 --> 00:09:00.240
disable asm storage off-road yeah no i

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

00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:10.720
pin CPU connector plugged in and it is recommended to have two for ripper

00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:15.519
shoot that is not a good sign

00:09:12.560 --> 00:09:22.399
okay why were we getting further before i forgot to plug in the HDMI connector

00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:22.399
zero d post error

00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:34.160
no way it's up

00:09:30.880 --> 00:09:34.839
32 gigs RAM detected

00:09:34.160 --> 00:09:41.040
it's up the vanity CPU works

00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:46.480
you have got to be freaking kidding me

00:09:43.839 --> 00:09:50.720
oh man okay so with the os loaded i'm going

00:09:48.880 --> 00:09:54.880
gonna wait for it to reach equilibrium while i tell you guys about freshbooks
