He's so fat because he is packing in all of that awesome. Every time this guy shows up in a video you can tell how seriously he takes his job. He always knows the answers to every question Linus throws his way without having to think about it, and with exception to that damn iMac, whenever he is recorded working you can see how much attention to detail puts in to the task. He may not be much of a looker but he is surely the unsung hero of LTT.
Bet they did. Realize there are companies that order 1000's of these, think the Tech guy wants to go through the 'fancy' packaging on each one, or do you think the company wants to pay the extra $5-$50 each for fancy packaging. Sure you could do a special edition one for an extra $100 each, may as well include a AIO waterloop for another $100..
@@jamescruz8678 call me surprised, does that mean its got something like taurine or some other energy drink ingredient? Or is it just a marketing thing.
I wonder why I can't buy a CPU with a detached IHS, like if 60% of people who buy an 8086k are going to delid it anyway, then Intel doesn't have to spend money on the internal thermal paste that they cheap out on. it wouldn't surprise me if they spent a hundred million dollars to find the cheapest good enough performance long lasting thermal paste. I mean seriously long lasting is the only notable trait of that thermal paste. But it's completely unusable on the high-end.
There is actually a compound that you can brush on over shiny metals that allows you to use a standard CO2 laser to engrave them. I want to say it is called LaserMark and available from either Johnson Plastics or JDS Industries. We use it on our Chinese K40 laser to engrave on gold and stainless steel and it works great. One tip, use about half the amount of denatured alcohol to thin the concentrate and it works way better.
Marin3r you know that a 8k camera makes better 1080p videos than a cellphone (both directly and by umdersampling after editing), right ? the only reasons to shot for instagram with the phone are: *time constraints *effort constraints *shot from a different angle *instagram wants you to do that *supposed legitimacy of using your phone
maybe a heatspreader made out of gold. an alloy that doesnt bend that easy. maybe 585 gold or 333. gold transports heat better, i think, so it could have had a real purpose too, by making it more overclockable. i think it would have been really cool, if they would have done something like this. maybe 100 processors for a giveaway.
F.A.I He never mentioned using 8th Gen in 2020. Also most definitely will still be using the Ryzen branding well into 2020. AMDs Roadmap shows Ryzen 4000 (code named Vermeer) based on Zen 2+ possibly on a TSMC 5nm node. Though a 7nm refinement seems much more likely.
Yeah, I was referring the 64-bit instruction set specification released by AMD in 2000 and how in 2020 they could celebrate that by releasing a special edition CPU ;-)
Pretty certain IBM made the first 64 bit chip. Followed by Intels Itanium and then AMD were third to the party. AMD were unique in bringing the first 64 bit consumer grade CPU however. Although by the time 64 bit was actually being used on home systems Intel chips were more than capable. The Athlon-64's 64 bit capability was a bit of a gimmick when it released. However the Athlon-64 was one of the best consumer grade CPU's of all time mostly because of its innovation of integrating the memory controller onto the die - something all chips have today. Not really because of its 64 bit ability.
It's totally realistic, but it would be expensive enough to limit it to a special limited edition run or something. Modern CPU IHS plates are made from copper, which is just slightly behind silver as the most conductive elemental metal on our planet. Since those are both also highly reactive metals, they corrode *very* easily, so the IHS plates are coated in a layer of Nickel, which is a non-reactive metal. Unfortunately nickel isn't that thermally conductive... but gold is! Gold is the third most thermally conductive elemental metal after Silver and Copper, and has the benefit of also being non-reactive, like Nickel. So using an IHS with real gold plating might actually *improve* thermals. As an aside, and I'm just theorizing here, but since gold is really "soft" for a metal, the wisest choice would be to alloy it with another, much more durable non-reactive metal. 90%Gold + 10%Nickel is commonly used in jewelry and is called "White Gold". It should still retain most of the thermal benefits but be durable enough for everyday use by consumers. You would lose the golden appearance, and it would just look like non-polished silver, but still be prettier than current IHS plates. I wonder what those thermals would be like!
That's a beautiful CPU that you made. I'm pretty sure that there is market for people to pay an extra premium if Intel were to release something like this. They can do a limited edition run without incurring in too much expense. Good work.
yeah but those were display pieces... I thought we were talking about working CPUs. But I like the Idea....they should include a cool looking display piece with the actual cpu
"all of it gets covered by a heat sink though...." There would still be those who would buy it anyway just to know in the back of the mind or in conversation that "hey I have a gold plated+ 'whatever else' CPU" Imo, more money than sense, which is how gold iphones get bought.
"I bought this cat from dealextreme for only $299. Will it live up to the hype? It has a tail, 10 whiskers, and ears, but the box says it also purs." *pets cat with hammer* "No purring. Well, just goes to show, cheap cats break too easily in real world applications and you can't buy quality cats from China."
I just want them to make a gold keyboard because it would also be a waste of time and knowing that someone wasted their time for a video is always a good feeling.
For best performance you should have gold plated the interior alosow . that way you should have almost the use of full gold properties. Very good video keep up the good work !
The CPU you're looking for is the i9-9900K. 8/16 threads, 5GHz turbo, soldered TIM... it's everything people have been asking for. (Except for the price.)
Wow I'm early I'll just say something wildly unpopular. Intel bad. Haha im kidding [Sponsored by Intel] EDIT: Intel if you see this I would like a processor thanks. Maybe we could make this comment say AMD bad. Haha. 😘
Now you need a transparent cooler with it! Quite sure there is no transparent terminal conductor which could stand on par with copper. So using an engraved water block with transparent top instead of IHS would be a more logical showpiece.
ArthursHD: Diamond is 5 times more thermally conductive than copper. Silicon carbide is sort of transparent and conducts heat really well. Or more practically: Make a liquid cooler using two layers of something very flat and clear and water between with the plumbing in the corners. Put a bit of optical paste on the heat spreader. Press the liquid cooler down onto the CPU without covering the middle.
Just lapped and delidded my 8086K yesterday. Been the highlight of my build since it was announced and in my cart. Sure its just a binned chip, but I happily payed the premium to have that beautiful purple box and stable 5.3GHz daily driver.
Like special edition for that lmg meet up(maybe for premium ticket) wirh custom linus media group engrave like sign(that braging about getting linus sign on ur cpu) maybe do custom backplate for popular cards with help of cable mods that will be awsome
Holy crap! It looks awesome. Best video I saw from you guys on quite some time! I was exiting from the beginning to the end! The background music is awesome too!
3 seconds over ~329 seconds is margin of error (~1%). If it could be shown repeatedly then I guess you could argue that it's faster, but tangible? Probably not.
it's kinda funny that you took the nickel plating off beforehand because the gold will plate directly to it. and you won't have an issue with the gold getting absorbed into the copper plating over time. I've done this before when i built my own hydrogen fuel cell and needed to plate the circuit pathways in gold.
Two reasons for that: First and foremost, we didn't want to add another layer of metal on top to potentially mess with the thermals, so we took the nickel layer off. Second... It was tried on a test IHS to see what it looks like and it ended up not being all that impressive. It didn't plate to the nickel as easily as it did the copper, either. It actually took quite a bit longer and more material to get a similar gold hue on the nickel parts of the IHS as opposed to the bare copper. That said, it's likely that the reason for it not adhering to the nickel very well is because it's a matte surface, not polished. We may have had better results there if we'd polished the nickel first.
Copper-Nickel-Gold is actually a fairly typical stack for plated contacts on circuit boards. It costs more than standard hot-air solder leveling, but it allows contacts to stay free of oxidation for a long time.
I think that nickel, like aluminum, rapidly forms a thin oxide layer inhibiting further corrosion. So the "matte finish" is not an artifact, but goes with nickel in air. That is why nickel ordinarily looks different from chrome. Silver can be polished to a mirror finish, and it oxidizes, but more slowly. To polish nickel (or aluminum) to a mirror-like finish that lasts longer than a second, you must do so in the absence of oxygen, like under a nitrogen atmosphere and keep it there until you coat it with something in turn to keep it that way (if it's something clear, you might be able to see the finish). The Gold was probably not bonding well to the oxide layer. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel You can electroplate nickel or aluminum on the back of a piece of glass and make a nice mirror, because the glass forms a smooth substrate and protects the glass-side surface from oxidation. Presumably, +Fat D's copper-nickel-gold is deposited using methods which would be hard to duplicate in your lab.
Digital Nomad If you polish the surface up then give it a quick rubbing with alcohol, the surface is perfectly plateable probably for minutes. Within that 5 seconds while you put the IHS on the rag and damp the surface with the gold solution, it wouldn't be oxidized on any relevant level.
If there were some way to seal a block that is transparent on the outside and open on the inside in such a way as to let the transparent non-corrosive working fluid contact the spreader directly without leaking out, that would achieve your goal, and probably improve the thermals.
That would be a cool third party company one that engraves and decals your pc /electronic systems to your specification so you can have true custom rig that is made for you from the ground up like even the cpu could have your logo including the other parts in your rig like your fans and and cooler if your not ruining water cooling but even so are there any programs out there that could tie your rgb lighting effects to the calendar/time/clock so you can create seasonal effects and custom themes that could or would change with the background of the computer cause i think that would be cool
Belt sander on table, fine sandpaper grit + water, slow speed = lapping done easily. Just hold the cover down on it with light pressure while it's running with equal pressure. It'll shine like glass.
I still have the 8086k in my main rig to this day I got it on launch at micrometer. Still don't see a need to upgrade I have a 3090 paired with it and she runs good
We're over thinking this, nothing crazy R&D is happening at Intel lol. They're probably intentionally using crappier materials and then the next gen CPU's all they do is add like one better material and that's it. Then the next gen CPU's they add two materials that are better =D
As a person who has worked with industrial lapping, that's actually grinding. Laping consists of rubbing two surfaces together with an abrasive media in between. Making the surfaces match each other very well. Almost removing zero material. It can be used to matching gears in a gearbox for example..
