Linus: **Gets scammed** AMD: "Hey, that's why we need to make 64 core CPU"

“If it turns on, I’m turned on”

Don’t they know people drop things 2020: Linus dropped a $10,000 cpu

Remember when having 56 cpu cores in a dual-socket system was crazy?

me watching this video in dec. 2019: *wow only 56 cores*

"I need a graphics card". Casually grabbing a high-end 10-series graphics card, as if it was an everyday thing. xD

4:56 "that's titanium I think" titanium is very light, similar to aluminium. That block is most likely tungsten, which is very dense.

Normal people: drugs Tech people:thermal paste

I've never wanted some bullshit ebay chips to work so fucking much... Linus has me on the edge of my seats.

Ram: **Exists** Chrome: *It's free real estate.*

Has anyone ever noticed that at 6:08, linus moans, if you have captions on it says (screams like a goat) LMAOOOOOOOOO

“Just 56 cores” Heh. This post was made by 4 core 4 thread gang

This why there's no ram left for anyone else

Casually says "I need a graphics card" GTX 1080 FE card that is lying around is in next shot. Wish life was that easy

"If it turns on, I'm gonna be turned on" Instant subscription

Wow the enthusiasm building this system truly showed! The funny part is I am even too scared and careful to fully insert a RAM into a socket to not put too much pressure on the PCBs to prevent bowing or otherwise damaging the mainboard, and you are leaning in with your full body weight on the CPU sockets :D

Intel Xeon 8176 Octacosa-core (28 Core) is available for sale by Intel for $9,544.35. I think it's a little pricey but wait..... BONUS: FREE SHIPPING ! SOLD !!!

opens chrome, all memory consumed immediately.

9:30 listen with your eyes closed

I love how excited Linus is about everything in the beginning

dear god the money that is sitting on that table

I need these!!!!!!! That rendering holy freaking crap!!!

That moment when one stick of ram has more storage than your everyday laptop

Linus doing everything he can to entertain us. it's just amazing😊

"don't they know that people drop things?" that is some intense foreshadowing.

5:26 "My thumb is burning" - Linus while holding down two massive CPUs in one very expensive motherboard with his fingers trying to get it to post. Only on LTT.

I'm not the most cautious person with my hardware... but then there is Linus xD

me seeing this in 2120: wow only 56 cores my potato pc has 512 cores

*"If it turns on, I'm going to be turned on"*

All that RAM? Don't let Chrome know.

Me - Has a 5+ year old ipad as I cant buy a new one due to price Linus - Uses 2 apple IPhone boxes to apply pressure to a CPU Me - ............

Never have I had as much anxiety watching one of your videos Linus lol Great video as always, keep it up 👍

I love his conclusion: "If you order a chip that doesn't exist, there's a good chance it's not gonna work" :D

"If it turns on, I'm gonna be turned on" *_LINUS IS A CYBORG CONFIRMED_*

6:56 that motherboards interpretation of *Losing it - Fisher* is incredible!

WOW this is weird, looking at Linus with no beard again!! I've been watching LTT for 6, 7 years or so, I've seen pre-beard Linus before plenty but I actually forgot how different he looks, the beard is so much better

"Overclock? YEAH I WANNA OVERCLOCK" -linus, while pc won't even boot properly yet

“I need a graphics card” has a 1080ti just laying around

10:45 Just for your information, those screws can be clamped down like equivalent of a 200 kgs just by using a few Nm to torque them... :)

I remember when dual core was great and quad2duo and core2quad was perfect for a webhosting server 😂

Cost $1300 "This seems really sketch" No info on cpu *Linus: Hold my beer*

Loool that "reserved for future AMI codes" is literally every POST code diagnosis ever lol. Btw you have to show up to a LAN party all like "I'm running the 0000%@ CPU bruh"

This video is quite a few years old now, but these P-8136 CPUs were seemingly datacentre/tray processor Xeon Platinums. The seller isn't really scamming anyone, these CPUs are probably only designed for certain server motherboards. The model/part number for the CPUs is SR2YN and they're the slowest Skylake-SP Xeons available.

*threadripper laughs in 128 cores*

Yo Linus! When you mentioned "First Boot" before it does the "Proper Bootup" around 12 minutes in, this is common on Server and workstation boards with IPMI / BMC's installed, and this is because the IPMI / BMC will initialise itself before the rest of the system is allowed to boot, and this usually means the system will act like its doing nothing for a while then suddenly springs to life, or it will post right away but then wait for the IPMI, Reset, and then go at it again before continuing. I have witness both types of behaviour on my Workstation, Home Server, and Home Lab servers, which are a mix of IBM and Supermicro machines. Basically if you have a machine with an IPMI / BMC, you should apply power to the system, then you have 2 options, you can either leave it in "off" but power connected for a few minutes to give the BMC time to start up, or you power on right away, and then wait for the BMC to start up while the machine does basically nothing in the mean time but make noise. On my IBM servers i prefer to leave them "off" with the power plugged in and "on at the wall", because there is no fan control until the BMC has started up, so turning them on right away just means having to listen to 100% fans for about 2 minutes while the machine waits for the BMC, whereas if i wait first for a few minutes, then the machine is quiet and POST's right away as the BMC is already booted and running. On the IBM's you can tell when the BMC is booted up by watching the blink rate of the power button LED, Fast flashing is power applied but BMC not ready, and when it changes to a slow blink rate, the BMC is ready and nows the time to turn the machine on.

"If you order a partnumber that doesn't exist at all, then the odds of it super not working (from our sample size of 1) seem to be pretty good." This sentence sums up LTT the way I like it xD

"I may need your hands..." "OMG why are you doing it like this" 🤣

6:09 captions: screams like a goat

*motherboard gives bad RAM signal* Linus: it must be not enough pressure on the CPUs! *2 weeks later finally switches RAM* Linus: Oh...

2:18 *If it Turns on, I'm gonna be turned on!* Quote of the Year for PC building enthusiasts, you win 9001 internets! (Seriously tho, who doesn't feel EXACTLY that way when a brand new expensive build is put together, and still needs to be booted up?)

The xeons I have won't turbo all at once to max. They only turbo some cores at a time for a small amount of time based on thermal and power consumption to avoid overheating then go back to a speed near base. So the turbo you're seeing probably isn't max turbo. But you can adjust those times in the bios I think. To see the max turbo you'd have to run fewer threads that don't stress all the cores at once and run something like hwmonitor to see individual speeds of each core, rather than an average like task manager.

To all people that are in 2019, you are not ready for 2020.

Propping up a testbench containing $10,000 processors with a cardboard headphone box. That is the most Linus thing I have ever seen

Not gonna lie.....this is probably my fav video from LTT in a LOOOONG time more content like this please....with Linus & Co triyng to figure out new tech....and getting stuff to work.

When you build a very expensive pc, the first thing that comes to mind on the first boot up is overclocking. Priorities done right.

So, looking back and realizing that the ES chips from eBay probably only work with specific motherboards. I ran into this with an ES chip that would only work with supermicro boards

Can we at least acknowledge the amazing background music that perfectly fits with the video. Reminded me of old school cartoon sketches.

6:57 The Motherboard is telling you to execute Order 66.

This video probably has the best Out of context clips.

saying "no" and the system is actually working gave me a weird feeling lol

FYI, the long boot on server boards is generally training each DRAM rank and the memory wipe. It has to do a wipe to make ECC valid.

Love how he holds his ram like they're Pokemon cards lol

Linus:"Long sniffs CPU" Also Linus "that's good stuff"

Love your Vids! Thank you here from Vienna-Austria.

You called the Seller and said: YO! You know who I am!!! I AM LINUS!!!!!!! Instant refund

Linus Tech Tips: risking their money on sketchy ebay listings so you don't have to!

the really scary things about linus trying to apply pressure like that isn't just the force on the socket, but that it's being supported by the motherboard at the case mounts, instead of the socket mount

14:05 Welcome to overclocking with BIOS from 2008, my P6T from 08 has that same "input the voltage" type of thing

Hahahah, that's funny...watching a video called "56 core system" from my laptop...with 2 physical cores. I'm gonna go cry a bit, see ya next time...

$8-10K now. 10 years from now it would be a paper weight on someone desk.

there is a specific order to install mem. if you use every slot, it wont matter but if you do not use them all, you will need to install in a certain order. Also, the cpu needs to be in slot 0 unless again, you are using both. Furthermore, if you only use one CPU, the memory install pattern may be different.

this video got me into hardware and now im studying IT. thanks linus.

9:30 - just opens a box of cpus worth more than my car. Each one of those chips are 10k btw

So here's an intresting story. I worked at Intel for a few months as a mechanical tester and I immediately recognized those SKX and KNL Foxconn brackets. I must of went through thousands of them because it was a concern for Intel that after many cycles of taking off and putting on those heatsinks, there would be tiny bits of debris leftover. Obviously bad when we're talking about CPU sockets. All of the screws (and fasteners) had this special coating called (fumio?) on them that is supposed to capture the debris. You'll notice they have this golden-like color to them. Anyway, yes, the heatsinks seemed proprietary, but nothing too special, a metal block with a medium sized square copper heatsink. Had a box of hundreds of them. In fact for testing we just used a thin aluminum plate which indeed held the CPU in place. The large spikes coming out of the bracket are intended such that you can't possibly put it on wrong, can align it rather quickly and deals with the small bit of torque you get with bolting something down.

Commenting for later use, the P-8136's work on AsrRock Rack epc621d8a boards with a modified bios.

18:04 "Deguassing Wand for CRT Arcade TV" Linus getting in on the ol' retro there?

next challenge: building a pc with no connecting screws, hold it all together by hand.

That was solid AF for that guy to accept the return.

11:41 "Don't they know that people drop things?" *he didn't knock on wood*

@6.30 - Pretty similar to when the NASA scientists realised the square-round incompatibility of carbon dioxide scrubbers on Apollo 13.

"if this turns on, I'm gonna be turned on"- Linus's best quote of the year

I wonder if AF was "air flow".... I've worked on sever boards that won't even power on if the fans aren't detected.

"I need a graphics card" never heard that from linus before

I wish if I have half of your skills. Man!!! This is pretty awesome and never thought how to deal with it.

0:33 linus holding those ram modules like how people hold money in front of cameras

Wow, surprise! I have a 2TB microSD to sell you, it's just I can't send pictures of it, but it works, honest!

Linus one of the few tech channels with an actual pocket knife to open boxes

“If it turn on, im gonna be turned on” -Linus Tech tips 2018

Linus is single-handedly responsible for the shortage of RAM in the world

this channel always makes me want to build another pc... never has tech been so much fun and exciting every time you tune in.

I swear, youtube knows what i'm doing, an add came up called "IT Management Software" and yes it has Linus in it.

Very cool to watch almost two years later.

Something makes me think that LMG is completely responsible for RAM price inflation

"I need a graphics card" .. me too Linus, me too. sigh

I seem to remember this being one of the first LTT videos I watch... and subsequently sub'd to the channel because of.

Looks at Linuses intro. Clicks the description. Sees the Audible 30 day free trial. Oh my god-- Audible sponsor plays. HOLY SH--

I wonder what he tought to himself while buying it "hmm its a cpu that does not exist... what can go wrong"

14:47: linus descends into madness

I'm glad that I'm not the only one that gets sweaty when they're working on expensive things.

This was the first video i ever watched of ltt. Been addicted since
