WEBVTT 00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:05.050 Okay, I've got my dual socket motherboard and I'm sure you guys have all gone through 00:00:05.050 --> 00:00:09.370 this at some point in the past where you're like building a new system and like the first 00:00:09.370 --> 00:00:14.890 part arrives and you're like, oh wow, this is so cool to look at because I have nothing 00:00:14.890 --> 00:00:16.810 else that goes with it. 00:00:16.810 --> 00:00:23.210 But then, okay, it got real and two of my eBay CPUs arrived. 00:00:23.210 --> 00:00:30.390 Basically these are 28 core 8176s or whatever they are, something along those lines. 00:00:30.390 --> 00:00:35.290 I got those, then I got these, yeah, these. 00:00:35.290 --> 00:00:39.030 These are 32 gig modules. 00:00:39.030 --> 00:00:45.720 These modules have more RAM than what I would consider to be a high end gaming system in 00:00:45.720 --> 00:00:46.720 one module. 00:00:46.720 --> 00:01:01.550 And I was like, no way, now I can test it. 00:01:01.550 --> 00:01:03.110 Thanks to Audible for sponsoring this video. 00:01:03.110 --> 00:01:08.710 Experience the world's largest library of audio books today with Audible and stay tuned 00:01:08.710 --> 00:01:11.970 later on in this video for a special offer. 00:01:11.970 --> 00:01:15.990 I wasn't sure if either of them would be real or working. 00:01:15.990 --> 00:01:21.890 So I actually ordered two sets of what claimed to be 28 core CPUs on eBay. 00:01:21.890 --> 00:01:22.890 And look at this. 00:01:22.890 --> 00:01:24.350 It's even marked on the spreaders. 00:01:24.350 --> 00:01:30.760 This is a P8136 that the seller says is a 28 core. 00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:33.680 But then I was like, hey, can you send me a CPU? 00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:34.680 Zed screenshot? 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:35.680 And they're like, sorry, I can't. 00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:40.300 And I was like, well, can you double check with someone that it's 28 core? 00:01:40.300 --> 00:01:41.760 They're like, I can't. 00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:42.760 So let's hold on first. 00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:44.550 Let's double check this. 00:01:44.550 --> 00:01:49.990 So absolutely nothing Intel Xeon 8136. 00:01:49.990 --> 00:01:56.050 You can see I've Googled it before, but other than an eBay listing, oh, oh, and there's 00:01:56.050 --> 00:02:03.210 a thread discussing that eBay listing and other people saying that this is really sketch. 00:02:04.960 --> 00:02:10.360 So this takes up a lot more space on the bench than most motherboards. 00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:11.360 Okay. 00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:13.490 Step number one. 00:02:13.490 --> 00:02:15.030 Does this fit?

00:06:26.400 --> 00:06:29.190 This is a narrow ILM. 00:06:29.190 --> 00:06:30.190 This is a square ILM. 00:06:30.190 --> 00:06:31.190 Okay. 00:06:31.190 --> 00:06:39.690 So we're going for hopefully enough mounting pressure. 00:06:39.690 --> 00:06:41.690 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. 00:06:41.690 --> 00:06:42.690 Whoa. 00:06:42.690 --> 00:06:43.690 Hello. 00:06:43.690 --> 00:06:44.690 Hello. 00:06:44.690 --> 00:06:45.690 Okay. 00:06:45.690 --> 00:06:46.690 That's fine. 00:06:46.690 --> 00:06:47.690 That's fine. 00:06:47.690 --> 00:06:48.690 We've got a postcode this time though. 00:06:48.690 --> 00:06:49.690 That's a better sign. 00:06:49.690 --> 00:06:55.290 And also this is less likely to be CPU one anyway, so I'm going to put it back where 00:06:55.290 --> 00:06:56.290 it was. 00:06:56.290 --> 00:06:58.760 All right. 00:06:58.760 --> 00:06:59.790 Okay. 00:06:59.790 --> 00:07:04.160 One long, two short. 00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:05.160 Great. 00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:07.660 Reserved for future AMI codes. 00:07:07.660 --> 00:07:08.660 Perfect. 00:07:08.660 --> 00:07:10.150 Okay. 00:07:10.150 --> 00:07:12.150 Let's try a different, uh, let's try a different chip. 00:07:12.150 --> 00:07:20.200 Let's try the other one. 00:07:20.200 --> 00:07:23.500 Yeah. 00:07:23.500 --> 00:07:26.760 Well, it could be good as f**k, like leet as f**k. 00:07:26.760 --> 00:07:27.760 Okay. 00:07:27.760 --> 00:07:34.490 It's completely different, which is maybe good and maybe bad. 00:07:34.490 --> 00:07:35.490 Okay. 00:07:35.490 --> 00:07:40.130 So the manual says one long beep and two short means no memory detected. 00:07:40.130 --> 00:07:47.590 So we put those CPUs back in and we're trying the higher mounting pressure on them. 00:07:47.590 --> 00:07:48.590 Okay. 00:07:49.100 --> 00:07:50.100 Okay. 00:07:50.100 --> 00:07:52.830 So kill it. 00:07:52.830 --> 00:07:53.830 Okay. 00:07:53.830 --> 00:08:05.880 So let's just put some more memory in because one of the, uh, classic symptoms of a bad 00:08:05.880 --> 00:08:09.380 mount in the socket is that some of your dim slots won't work properly. 00:08:09.380 --> 00:08:17.230 So, I mean, this is, if nothing else, a bad mounting system. 00:08:17.230 --> 00:08:18.230 Okay. 00:08:18.230 --> 00:08:23.390 So the working theory right now is that it's probably a mounting pressure issue. 00:08:23.390 --> 00:08:27.840 So last attempt before I just patiently wait for a cooler. 00:08:27.840 --> 00:08:30.840 I need to get up higher so I can put more weight on it. 00:08:30.840 --> 00:08:31.840 Oh, wow. 00:08:31.840 --> 00:08:34.160 That is terrifying. 00:08:34.160 --> 00:08:35.160 Why did it just turn on? 00:08:35.160 --> 00:08:38.160 I just put more pressure on the CPUs and the system turned on. 00:08:38.160 --> 00:08:41.160 Do you want to turn it off for now? 00:08:41.160 --> 00:08:42.160 Okay. 00:08:42.160 --> 00:08:44.160 I'm going to put more pressure on. 00:08:44.160 --> 00:08:45.160 Okay. 00:08:45.160 --> 00:08:47.720 Let's try the other ones. 00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:50.420 Okay. 00:08:50.420 --> 00:08:51.420 Center down there. 00:08:51.420 --> 00:08:52.480 Let's center down there. 00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:53.800 Okay. 00:08:53.800 --> 00:08:54.800 More weight. 00:08:54.800 --> 00:08:55.800 And I'm good. 00:08:55.800 --> 00:08:58.800 Have you tried clearing the CMOS? 00:08:58.800 --> 00:08:59.800 No, actually. 00:08:59.800 --> 00:09:00.800 Yeah. 00:09:00.800 --> 00:09:02.280 It's the same as before. 00:09:02.280 --> 00:09:03.760 Okay. 00:09:03.760 --> 00:09:07.080 It's been like another week, two weeks. 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:08.080 I don't know. 00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:16.080 The point is today was basically Christmas because first, and yes, it's only the 19th, 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:20.080 but it's still Christmas because first, check this out. 00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:26.080 So I've got those engineering sample processors that I ordered when I thought that Intel wasn't 00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:27.080 going to work with us on this. 00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:31.080 But today, I also got, oh, look at this. 00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:36.150 Oh, it's beautiful. 00:09:36.150 --> 00:09:39.150 So these are Intel Confidentials. 00:09:39.150 --> 00:09:44.150 I don't remember what SKU these are, but they're 3.2 gigahertz base, so they're a lower core 00:09:44.150 --> 00:09:45.150 count. 00:09:45.150 --> 00:09:50.150 And these ones, Xeon Platinum 8180s. 00:09:50.150 --> 00:09:53.150 These are the top of the line. 00:09:53.150 --> 00:09:59.340 But it was the kind of, I ordered new computer hardware Christmas where, get a little cricket 00:09:59.340 --> 00:10:03.340 there, where I didn't have a piece that I needed still. 00:10:03.340 --> 00:10:06.690 But then today again. 00:10:06.690 --> 00:10:15.100 These are Intel thermal solution box coolers for the Xeon processor scalable family. 00:10:15.100 --> 00:10:26.120 This is the one active cooler that I could find on the market for the square ILM socket. 00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:28.120 I finally have everything. 00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:33.120 We're still going to try that eBay processor first. 00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:36.120 I really want to know if I got ripped off. 00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:38.120 With how hard this is clamping down. 00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:45.120 Honestly, I do not feel like I wasn't putting enough force on it before. 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:48.480 I really don't think that was the problem. 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:55.960 So theoretically, if these work, then I have two sets of 28 core processors. 00:10:55.960 --> 00:11:02.500 If they don't, then I still have one because sometimes it's nice to be Linus Tech Tips 00:11:02.500 --> 00:11:05.600 and have Intel send stuff over to you sometimes. 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:08.600 Do you get sweaty when you're working on expensive stuff? 00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:09.600 A little bit. 00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:11.600 Yeah, me too. 00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:13.950 I need a graphics card. 00:11:13.950 --> 00:11:15.270 Wow. 00:11:15.270 --> 00:11:18.360 So the 8136 doesn't work. 00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:23.460 Now I'm wondering if maybe there's a problem with our board at this point. 00:11:23.460 --> 00:11:27.780 So let's try, let's try a retail chip. 00:11:27.780 --> 00:11:34.640 So each of these Xeon 8180s is I think 8 or 10 grand. 00:11:34.640 --> 00:11:38.220 Something like that retail. 00:11:38.220 --> 00:11:40.860 No pressure though, you know. 00:11:40.860 --> 00:11:45.560 I mean, don't they know that people drop things? 00:11:45.560 --> 00:11:53.640 Okay, so this is with a very probably known good chip this time. 00:11:53.640 --> 00:11:59.320 If this doesn't boot up, then I have my doubts about something. 00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:00.320 Oh, did that just change? 00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:01.320 Yeah, it did. 00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:06.120 Does it just have a really, really long post? 00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:08.120 How interesting would that be? 00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:11.120 What if it has some kind of first boot process 00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:14.120 where it has to go through some kind of detection thing 00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:18.120 before it can then boot up properly the next time 00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:20.120 and it's really long? 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:24.120 Okay, we are attempting a USB BIOS flashback 00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:26.120 with their crash-free BIOS thing. 00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:28.120 We have a problem though, 00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:31.120 and that's that if you look at the BIOS revisions here, 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:34.120 the one with the higher revision number 00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:38.120 is dated earlier than the one with the lower one. 00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:43.080 So let's pull that out and try again. 00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:44.080 I wouldn't have thought we could make it 00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:48.080 worse, but we did. 00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:50.080 00 postcode. 00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:55.080 This is 2666 megahertz, 32 gig sticks. 00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:58.080 I wonder if it's been a RAM compatibility thing 00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:00.430 this whole time, 00:13:00.430 --> 00:13:04.520 because I've never actually tried different RAM. 00:13:04.520 --> 00:13:05.520 Okay, new plan. 00:13:05.520 --> 00:13:07.520 We're going to try the 32 gig sticks 00:13:07.520 --> 00:13:10.520 from 7Gamers1CPU instead. 00:13:10.520 --> 00:13:13.520 So these are older, slower memory modules. 00:13:13.520 --> 00:13:17.520 These guys are 2133 instead of 2400 megahertz, 00:13:17.520 --> 00:13:21.520 which is like bleeding edge for servers right now. 00:13:21.520 --> 00:13:23.520 Maybe we'll see better compatibility 00:13:23.520 --> 00:13:26.520 if we try something a little bit older. 00:13:26.520 --> 00:13:29.520 97, B2, 98, 99. 00:13:29.520 --> 00:13:36.940 It was just RAM compatibility. 00:13:36.940 --> 00:13:37.940 No! 00:13:37.940 --> 00:13:38.940 Oh, come on. 00:13:38.940 --> 00:13:42.020 Oh, it's up. 00:13:42.020 --> 00:13:45.840 Oh, sick. 00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:48.040 Overclocking. 00:13:48.040 --> 00:13:50.040 Yeah, yeah, I want to overclock. 00:13:50.040 --> 00:13:51.040 I mean, not now. 00:13:51.040 --> 00:13:54.040 I want to get it like working reliably first, 00:13:54.040 --> 00:13:56.040 but wow, you just key them in. 00:13:56.040 --> 00:13:57.040 Look at this. 00:13:57.040 --> 00:13:59.450 5 billion volts. 00:13:59.450 --> 00:14:00.450 No. 00:14:00.450 --> 00:14:04.050 Do I just type in auto?
