I was thinking the same thing. So now he's destroyed the award just to put the cover on a real chip which will never be seen. And all at the risk of losing the processor. I guess you get to do things like that when you're a reviewer and you have all the coolest tech lying around. Personally would still have not done that.

It would have been so much easier to just put the dummy with special heatspreader aside, take the working CPU and use some powerful laser engraver- or how the heck this kind of writing on the heatspreader is done- and engrave it yourself. After that you would have had even 2- the original and unharmed dummy from AMD, that you can put on your desk and then you would have another self-engraved and totally functional one, maybe for your personal rig. The way Linus chose resulted in a totally destroyed dummy and another CPU, thats heated way above its temperature-limit in an pizza-oven, violently scratched with some blade, sanded down with some diamond-sandpaper-liquid and in the end glued together with some mysterious red goo. But at least it was interesting to watch :D Poor AMD, its like you get your kids some very special gift for christmas and after opening their present they instantly start smashing it to pieces with a baseball bat and glue its pieces randomly back together

[@dickr9345]

MrDoboz Huh? That's a shit analogy, IMO. He took a commemorative, custom engraved IHS off of a dummy CPU and put it on a functioning one. How do you figure that's in any way similar to taking something off of a budget oriented product and putting it on a higher quality product -made by an entirely different company? I think you're grasping for any reason to hate on something he's wanted to do for some time now to something that belongs to him, and as such can do whatever he wants with it.

TFW 5 mins into microwave and chill and he pulls out the screwdriver

[@griffinowens2648]

Why didn't they use their new laser cutter to engrave it?

[@jakegarrett8109]

Wouldn't the diameter of the beam be more important than the power rating? For instance, half diameter gives you 4x more watts/area, whereas doubling power only gives you 2x watts/area. I would think the watt/area would be a better indication of the material it can work with (may be slow at 40w, but who cares if it gets the job done).

[@LunaphaseLasersOfficial]

Power density only takes you so far, unfortunately. Keep in mind, there's a physical limit to how far a beam can be focused, which is dependent on it's wavelength. With a CO2 laser the wavelength is 10600nm which is fairly large, and you cannot achieve a focal point smaller than that. Unfortunately, more power really is the only solution for certain materials.

[@jakegarrett8109]

I know it will be dependent on several things (the IHS is a heat spreader by design). So you have a function of rate of heat transfer from heated area (thermal conductivity dependent), absorptivity (how much it actually turns into heat vs bounces back), and light beam physics limiting area (as you mentioned). Then you also have temperature the materiel needs to hit to solve for that equation. Shouldn't be difficult to derive that equation, but I'll leave that for after my exams to solve for fun in my free time (someone's probably solved it, but where's the fun in just looking it up?)

[@Epicvampire800]

Because they wanted to use the one amd sent them and make a video about it...

[@felixokeefe]

I have access to a 20watt fibre laser marker machine. It can mark stainless steel a range of colours. With lasers wavelength is more important than power.

Great idea to pan over to the poster that says "Do as i say, not as i do"

[@davidbass6780]

Hey Linus can you recommend a motherboard that's ideal for overclocking please? I can get a Ryzen 1700 upto 4GHz for about half a minute before the system freezes so I suspect it's an issue with the power delivery. Thermals got high but it didn't crash because of the thermals as I could get it to reach even higher temps and remain stable at lower voltages and clock speeds so I think I just need a motherboard with better VRMs. But I don't know which series of motherboards or even which brand is best. I can sort out any thermal issues I'll have but it's this problem that I'm clueless about.

[@angryzombie8088]

8:27 Linus is like a surgeon trying to delivery his first-born son from a mother-board named Asus. The baby boy is named Ryzen Threadripper, what a fitting name for a baby.

[@ChrisD__]

AngryZombie808 His 4th son?

[@RizLazey]

Cringe af eww amd fanboys deez days

9:21 linus nazi tips

[@ikhsanhasbi657]

I knew his sandals are nazi agenda!

[@NanoMine]

InfernoDukem or maybe video is mirrored.

[@dandremcleod8503]

England is my city jake pualer

[@keyboardkyle1898]

InfernoDukem Why take it seriously? Jokes are a part of the internet, Dipshit

[@meistermane]

Wrong arm and angle tho

[@Sharlenwar]

Hey Linus, not sure if you'll see this. But thanks for your videos. Enjoying your content and I hope you will continue to bring out your videos in 2018 and beyond. Always look forward to the new ones, as well as these old ones.

[@viperch25]

what kind of remote is he useing is that something made for that tv or is that something that can be bought and used by anyone on there pc

[@mohamadkadah7659]

soooo what happened to the bitcoin farming video?

[@2036scott]

Who's watching in suspense? #Even_Linus_Cant_Break_AMD

[@mat.quantum2671]

Don’t test him

[@thatguy0001]

What transportation does Linus use to transport those solid brass ones?

[@felipemarceu3232]

Hi Linus, Someone could tell me,, use a improper heatspread system will burn my 1950x or the processor can handle overheat? i`m testing my old cooler but i will put a thermaltake riiing 280mm soon.. thanks

[@Jommly]

There's like 6 reasons in this video alone why you didn't get number 1 Linus.

[@ike8938]

JimmyGio more than that

[@AlphaFatti]

What if you used you Lazer cutter/engraver to carve LTT into it?

[@c0kosnuts2]

This^

[@nobodyislisting]

I bought my merch finally. Thanks for the stickers.

[@Dan-sk2ff]

oh. God. Why.

[@shotsfiredandmissed9068]

Learn as u go. No prep at all. That Linus for ya

[@ariecopley-radder7018]

Since you have a laser cutter, why don't you just LASER ENGRAVE "Linus Tech Tips" on a normal Threadripper?

[@jfkfromclonehigh8157]

I can't see your profile pic

[@DarkArachnid666]

I REALLY hope that the guy that named it the "Threadripper" got a fat bonus.

[@PneumaticFrog]

Cool looking chip underneath

[@channel20122012]

Lisa Su has the number 1. You can never reach her level.

[@GamesTechno]

to get more views! is the simple answer to your question LinusTechTips!

[@claymccormick1203]

SO WERE you going to source the indium to resolder the chip?

[@ShawnT_1JZ]

Linus my laptopp screen is not working, it did this before and all i did was remove the ram and wipe it off then put it back but now its not fixing the issue, do you have a idea what i can try>? iv tried many things for hours now, laptop is a toshiba sattalite L550D

[@haydentaylor2101]

Can't wait to see the compensator 3.0, what's it gonna have? x4 Vega 64's, i9, TR, a massive radiator

[@MrDoboz]

vega 64 is a POS

[@Leviathan431]

MrDoboz You're a bundle of positivity, aren't you?

[@Jtw0912]

hell ya, a duel socket mobo with an 18-core i9 and 16-core threadripper

[@SkiDaBird]

But how else are you cook dinner while gaming? This is coming from an AMD guy too.

[@haydentaylor2101]

MPrime simple, Pentium 4 plus GTX 480 in 4 way sli

[@332sjbender]

...so we didn't put anything between the dies and the lid? Just silicone for the edge and we are good

[@therealmacgyver5470]

exactly if NOT using thermalpaste on your cpu is bad then leaving an airgap were your die was solderd to must be catastrophic

[@GlennPaschal]

I'm sure he did but it didn't make the edit or somebody messed up lol.

[@rimzul9466]

he used liquid metal, you can see the package behind him on the keyboard 7:04

[@bottlekruiser]

>Have an air gap between the die and the lid >72°C under load Seems legit

[@januszkarp1362]

09:39 "You have got to be kidding me!" exclaimed the man who just minutes earlier put a Threadripper in a vice and baked it

[@TheRogue12]

0:34 the look of madness on Linus' face lol
