Intel Xeon 8180 28 core CPU Repair

Talking to caps isn’t mad .... just be concerned if you think they are replying to you 😀👍

Caps have been known to HOLD a grudge.......

[@caboosette1869]

@@mike6340 oh I know! In my teen years I used to tinker with CB radios, and AC to DC power supplies in the 20 amp range. I know the grudge they can hold. Lmao!

[@DaveBrown1]

I talk to components all the time, I tell them "I am not looking for an argument! I am trying to help you"... works for me. Thanks for another class video.

[@eclipsemn8806]

I like using what my mother used to say to my brother and I when we didn't want to do chores "I'm not asking you, I'm telling you"

[@DarkTranqz]

I was chuckling the whole time you were trash talking the cap who wanted to play games 😆 Awesome video, man.

[@secondskins-nl]

Great you showed it holding the processor. Since so much is under the microscope in some videos it's hard to imagine what the size of something actually is. Awesome work! And if all 4090s are repaired you can always try something like being a surgeon.

[@archael18]

Been wanting to see a cpu repair for a while!

[@danyan4385]

First time watching CPU repair !

[@thefixxer72]

That is really awesome man, it's good to see some skill is still in the world. I have repaired many engines, but does not compare to what I see here. Nice work.

[@onuroskay8613]

Another great repair. Thank you Alex.

[@MrMojolinux]

"Talkin' to caps all day" Hey Alex, I'm listening to you too!

[@perkulant4629]

What I love about you not wanting to waste time, is that you don’t waste my time either. Cut straight to the chase and show the issue, display the tools and skills and fix it. Nice one.

[@domeberlin4480]

je he only focus on simply repair and all other is no fixx :D

[@reedyd]

This week on CAPS: ♪ bad boys bad boys, whatcha gonna do when Alex comes for you? ♫

[@abdulvalimahomed5496]

I’ve repaired a quite a few CPUs on the past, one one side is in situ I always added leaded solder first to both sides. Luckily the pass were still intact. Sometimes if you get unlucky pads gone and it can’t be rapaired.

[@silver60618]

Alex, on devices you cant test, like this CPU. How do you know how to charge? is it a fix? maybe fix? or do you have a separate charge for attempted fix?

[@AA-xm7rt]

Good question!

[@Dawid_The_Man]

He tests them after camera.

[@MrBlahblahblah12354]

Unless he has the server rack for this CPU he cannot test​@@Dawid_The_Man

Ramadan Mubarak in advance brother. Keep up the good work 😊

[@cubinn149]

Very nice saldering tools i buy from northridge fix site got a whole micro saldering set

[@shreev9671]

What not in your shop is soldering tweezers, when are you going to have that equipment for sale?

[@chuckthetekkie]

My mom worked in an office building on a computer that would routinely misbehave so she would tell it that the next semi that is padding by you are going in front of it and miraculously it would start behaving.

[@robertchamberlin2362]

Awesome like always!

[@lemagreengreen]

Was the CPU dead with that cap missing/resistor disconnected? And for the record you're only crazy if the caps start talking back to you.

[@byronwatkins2565]

Most ceramics vary substantially with temperature. I predict that the caps are 1.0 uF bypass ceramics.

very interesting.. and good work!!

[@michaelmiller641]

I love these videos! Keep 'em coming!

[@ionix2000]

I would be nice to see if it works, but probably there is no motherboard available to do that in the repair shop.

[@PatriceHOBBAH]

Hello from Ivory coast ( Côte d'Ivoire). 👍

[@anlemeinthegame1637]

Caps vs. cops.. I see what you did there, Alex, LOL.

[@DIYTech21]

just a question these things can get really hot. So will soft solder be a risk ?

[@danyan4385]

if it's transistor or mosfet, maybe ... but this got hot under 100 C degrees

[@ryanreedgibson]

I have knocked off quite a few of these in the past. Each time Intel has replaced under their warranty. Benefit of being an integrator.

[@RTSchramm]

What is the melting point of the leaded solder you are using because the 8180 can get up to 84 degrees Celsius.

[@danyan4385]

Even the lowest melting point leaded solder melts at 180 C degrees ... so there is no problem. There are no moving parts, like some kind of port - USB, power jack ...

[@kgonepostl]

Thank you for sharing this with me.

[@MyJman37]

really enjoy watching your content and always amazes me how precise you are and find it very interesting. i am curious about them 2 caps being a different color? they looked like a light blue color and not yellow like the rest. this just from age or? awesome work

[@Netzphantom]

Did you not see all the bent pins? @8:50 ??

[@Bloo_Void]

It was a donor CPU.. Why would he care about those?

[@DarkTranqz]

Ergo, *DONOR* CPU.

[@rfr653]

Good job mate 👍

[@xander087]

Is this the one from linus tech tips that linus broke?

[@unnamedchannel1237]

I am trying to work out in my head how a cpu would get damaged like this

[@TheRealJLucas]

It would be nice to know if the CPU fired up and all was well.

[@arieettinger8175]

Nice job.on another subject,are you familiar with the CH341 mini programmer and if yes can it be used to read the 93cxx eproms?

[@bmomjian]

How did you test the CPU repair? DId you have a motherboard from it that would not boot?

[@yogeshsakhare6139]

Now how will the joints withstand temperature with leaded solder

[@Electron_master]

"If you wanna do a job, do it right". Thats absolutely right.

[@SlayerSla]

would be cool to see if its working, i mean everything seems fine, but would be nice to see if its working

[@safn1949]

: $5,470.00 cpu, ouch

[@Dude-xv4os]

And its obsolete now. You can get a 96 or 128 core from AMD with much, much faster cores and probably 3 times more efficient, maybe more

[@unnamedchannel1237]

@@Dude-xv4osya but would require new board and RAM as well

[@christopherleubner6633]

Yup and they are most commonly used in pairs. They were designed for server duty. I remember one that had a gallium alloy cooler assembly on it made by nanocoolers. The gallium alloy got some air inside that caused the MHD pumps to work intermittently. Replaced with a tried and true water cooling unit.

[@gabriellevesque2185]

​@@unnamedchannel1237 if you can spend 5000 $ on JUST the processor, it's a bit dumb to think they can't afford new ram and motherboard that makes it a few orders of magnitude better. Also, when you're in the market for the most powerful thing there is, you usually need it for a good reason 😉 Especially companies.

[@ryanalbert5577]

what do you call that soldering or desoldiring tool sir north ridge?

[@AhmedRw]

You did a great job better than most , but not better than factory 😉

[@jatinverma5608]

does company use special lead while manufacturing cpu cause it works in high temperatures and normal lead might meld in high temp?

Totaly agree work smarter not harder 😁

7:06 the reflection on that chip looks like mountains and trees lol

[@spiralbrain]

There goes the ROHS compliance. I would be scared to use the soldering iron near the gold pads. Kapton tape is our best friend here.

[@ardeof]

I recommend you guys on reddit sometimes (mainly for storage/GPU repair), I do wonder if they go through with the recommendation sometimes haha. I do use a different alias on reddit though, so it's unlikely i'd be recognized here on KZbin.

how do you know that it was a capacitor and not a resistor that was missing?

[@valkaielod]

Caps are usually brown.

[@suryavanshib]

Awesome ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

[@skrewdriven6891]

Did linus drop this?

[@rivciks5045]

One million question: Did the cpu work afterwards?

[@LazyTurtle587]

[@syntaxerorr]

Nice repair. Saying it is better than factory is just a flat out dirty no good lie.

[@FishinMagik]

Here’s what I don’t understand about this repair, what kind of meat headed hulk hands do companies have installing/maintaining their hardware to have something like this happen to a cpu? I’ve built more computers/servers than I care to remember and I have never, not once, had a component issue like this. Boggles my mind, but thank goodness NF exists!

[@mezu-e]

This CPU was probably dropped onto a desk corner or case edge, and it's probably the only one that got dropped out of thousands.

[@_BangDroid_]

From my experience, CPU's can handle 1 or 2 broken bypass caps. I'm not a complete meathead, most weren't my fault, it happens. That resistor on the other hand, probably the bigger issue. But you may as well repair them all at once.

[@rdlockrey]

I think you already posted this video, unless im getting Déjà vu 😋

[@kevinkang4308]

Better than factory

does it work?

[@bablubawra1352]

Seriously after watching your pin broken fix, videos I eagerly want to send my AmD ryzen 5 3600 cpu to you as a parcel, unfortunately I live in another country and I literally dont know which shop in my country could fix the problem like you do and even I got rejected by AMD support like a dating app for to do possible RMA even after my cpu was under warranty, Now I don't know whether to laugh or cry at same time

[@Abah_Vina]

That a hell big procie !!! 😮

[@saadomar1101]

okay but how did this happen to a cpu?
