Damn Linus, I can't believe you had such a hard time. I ran the QL2X and 3X like a breeze here all the way up to 4.6GHz and even 4.8GHz CPUz Validated. Issue you were having is likely due to PCIe Gen2, some of these CPUs require to use Gen1 to work properly. But then again, you could just have used the integrated graphics (UHD 630). From my testing, Gen3 to Gen1 saw from 5 to 10% performance loss on GPU bound scenarios when using a GTX 1080Ti. You can also try raising VCCSA and VCCIO voltages, sometimes that helps to get PCIe Gen2 stable on these. For some reason, AMD Graphics cards normally don't seem to present these issues. Another thing that might've happened is that the water block used could have messed up the mounting pressure, but there's really not much tweaking involved there. You can totally go up to 4 - 4.2ghz on a stock Intel cooler since they are direct die. Nice to see you guys got to try out these CPUs too, they are pretty neat :-) Btw, I also made a video on them (cc/subtitles in english available)

Storytime with my last CPU situation: Back in June of 2019, I built a new system with a Core i5 9400F. I had bought the Motherboard, RAM, and CPU ahead of the GPU because of money constraints. (I already had the case and PSU) So I slapped what I had together and tried booting with my GT 1030 and nothing happened, I and my boyfriend thought it was because MSI's cheap motherboards didn't like PCI powered GPU's and left it as-is till we picked up an RTX 2060 XC 1 month later. (Intel F series are not APU's) Once we got the GPU we put it in to see if the system would post but it didn't, we reseated everything till we looked at the CPU... It was bent I must've made board flex when putting on the cooler, so my boyfriend suggested to put something soft like a sock on the edge of a table and push the corners that bent down with fingers on the contact-pads, slapped it all back together and it posted... we fixed a computer with a sock.

This is exactly the kind of enthusiast project I love! I can see that it was frustrating to work with, but anything that's a weird workaround to get performance for less money warms my heart. Whether it's using the superior-clocking mobile processors of Socket A and 754 in desktop boards to get better performance than their desktop CPUs could provide, using core-unlocking BIOS features on Phenom-II chips, doing the LGA 771-to-775 mod, or just generally finding the right compatible Xeon to go beyond desktop CPU offerings like on LGA 2011, I love workarounds that give the savvy tech fan an opportunity to exceed the limits the manufacturer intended to impose on the end user! I even used to buy AMD Thuban processors with missing pins for salvage prices and put replacement pins made from strands of CAT-5 into the socket where the missing pins on the CPU would line up. That worked perfectly almost every time, with the one failure costing me a Gigabyte 990FXA-UD7, which did sting quite a bit at the time. Still worth it overall though! The particular mod you were playing with seems like it could work once the BIOS issues get squared away, and was fun to watch. Thanks!

Hey Linus, got an idea for you... Why don't you get some atomized colloidal copper powder. Place a small pile of it on you chip, clamp down your cooling solution (periodically backing the screws out a quarter turn, and shimmying the cold plate a little, to even out the powder distribution), then carefully hit all for sides with a heat gun, to momentarily liquify the copper colloid. Maybe even have two people, and develope a system of one tightening down the cooling solution, while another simultaneously heat guns the copper. If you can melt that pile flat, with the cooler all the way down, that would probably be the best possible thermal conduction, and subsequent heat transfer, that would be practical for civilian (non commercial or industrial solution) use today, that is currently possible for home PC's and Laptops (although I'm sure, if scaled up, it could be developed into a commercial or industrial solution as well...)

If it's error free, and I can only guess that 5% of the time you'll get hiccups for processing, yet still it's impressive to see it even #functions to begin with.

That's actually a pretty interesting design to reduce thermal insulation while keeping the chip relatively safe. Intel and AMD could learn something from these guys, certainly.

[@maddog392]

Linus you should have a torque screwdriver (like a torque wrench but a screwdriver) for stuff like this. I use one to install EPYC CPUs in servers as is recommended by AMD. It will allow you to accurately and consistently set your hold down pressure with this type of CPU retention.

Ten after you removed it, you had all kinds of issues. Seems like some of the other ones they sent didn't have correct dimensions and probably caused either heat issues and / or mounting pressure issues.

You can actually check whether the die is flush, lower, or higher than the surrounding shim plate. Just take a razor blade or a thin metal ruler, stand the long edge across the shim plate and cpu die, and shine some light through it. If there is even a slight separation between the razor blade / ruler and the object it stands on, light will pass through. If you don't have a thin metal ruler, you can even use art knife refills or metal plates with known straight edges. For the light source, it can be a mobile phone flashlight, or even ceiling lighting.

The exposed die is old tec that is supposed to directly bypass the aluminum cover for better heat dissipation. I have an AMD Athlon XP 2600 from an HP from the 2000's (AMD2600XP) You had to be careful putting the heat sink on because you can crack the die\chip if you over tighten your cooler. I believe substituent lines went back to the heat spreader due to people fracturing the chips. My info is a bit old, same time... this is nothing new or to get excited about. The coolest bit was being able to take the heat right off the chips itself, like I added an aftermarket cooler and arctic silver 5 back in the day and dropped temp by 10-15 degrees.

“Of course, if we were gonna be rendering all day and we had 150$ to spend, we would just go for a Core i5 8400 or something like that with six cores…” Well, I do hope you would go with something other like that when you’d want to game at a relatively low price point. If I recall correctly, you yourself were pretty clear that a Ryzen 5 is better in heavily multithreaded tasks and at least close in most other scenarios.

i mean... Intel has been "the one" for so long. it's going to take time to get used to AMD actually being a viable competitor again after so long. Plus intel has basically been sitting on its ass for years, not really doing anything because they didn't have to. so, will AMD's current reign even be able to last very long? i mean, who knows, either way competition is good. let's hope they both stay competitive for everyone's benefit. now we need someone to come up and mess with Nvidia... do something to start clawing high-end gfx card prices down...

That would require an interposer, which would induce latency, and would also need to be custom silicon. Anyone with the capitol to do so has no incentive.
