Of course, there's more to it than just dropping your CPU in a vat of liquid nitrogen.
No, that's a bin CPU, Linus.
So I guess step one is we just warm it back up. Linus, why did you have to do this?
Look, it was for the lulls. Think of the lulls, Alex.
Poor thing.
How hot is it?
Well, it's lower than minus 40. We know that. Oh, there we go. It's in the positives now.
Woo! There it is. Okay, let's have a look here. The first thing I'm concerned about is the fact that
Linus dropped this into the water bottle, which could damage it. It seems fine. You can see a
little bit of stuff there, but that's not too concerning. My larger concern is that
even when you're doing LN2, the CPUs don't get that cold. And you have a bunch of different layers
in here, like fiberglass and copper and so on. And those are going to expand at different rates.
So even though it looks fine, internally, it might be not so much. Also, by the way, this
you can see the SPLAVE logo right there. This is like a binned top 10%
chip right here. It would be a real sin if it was dead. Okay, let's see here.
Okay, this is so hard to do while filming. I'm sorry, everyone. There we go. Beauty.
All right, moment of truth. Moment of truth.
Oh, good sign right there.
Oh dear.
Currently, I'm plugging and plugging back into your keyboard and mouse can fix this.
I'm just going to try resetting it.
Yeah, this seems like GPU problems, not CPU problems. Hey, Jono. Hey.
I'm filming a full plane exclusive about getting a CPU to work. And is it not working?
It's not working. Oh, that sucks. Yeah, that does suck. It's a it's a binned CPU. I guess it's not
good enough. Yeah. Well, let's try this. Because it doesn't seem like a CPU problem.
It must be a CPU problem because the system was working without the CPU in it. But I refuse to
believe that it's dead, even though like it did get dropped into a vat of liquid nitrogen. And it's
saying 99 again. It's bad. Well, I'm going to keep trying, but it's kind of looking like Linus
killed the play of CPU. They're just laugh, Jono. That's rude. I'm sorry. I'm very sorry.
Trying it again. I receded the CPU. I don't think it's going to work, but you know, worth a try.
Oh, wow, she lives. Amazing. I have no clue why it didn't work before. That's pretty weird.
Well, I don't know how happy it is.
Yeah. Wow. That's fun. We got the tension for the Floatplane exclusive, but it paid off. I can't believe it.
I legitimately thought that it was dead, just like air. I figured it was just, you know, CPU issues.
Well, we get into Windows. Oh, there it is. Just run a Cinebench, see if it's happy. Okay.
Yeah. I don't know if I'd say it's stable, but it's not crashing. So that's a plus.
Yeah, running at 4.6 gigahertz, which is expected on air. Score of 28,000. Beautiful.
Yeah, the CPU is working. All right. We didn't kill it.
