    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.

    I reckon, regarding the CPU hold down plate, that they milled the retail version to the exact specs of the sample that was pre-installed, and then went and electroplated it afterwards. Even if the plating was perfectly flat it would be dodgy, but that would rarely be completely flat so there would be a very small increase in thickness around the top edges of the plates.

    It seems you can have the 6c/12t CPU (45W TDP, $70) working on a B250 board, that is absolutely amazing because:
    - it's cheap
    - it's less power hungry than comparable i3-5-7 within the same price bracket
    - it offers six cores (something you won't get to work otherwise)

      NeuronalAxon - that doesn't really count anymore. Intel downgraded the stock coolers further and further until they just became a bare thin slice of primitive pressed Aluminium. Meanwhile the real power usage has risen, power density per area skyrocketed and st times they did put toothpaste between the chip and heat spreader. You could OC a Core2 but especially after Ivy Bridge the coolers just became the absolute bare minimum to run day to day loads.

    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.

    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!

      Omg! I didn't notice this till I read your comment and it made me so happy. Haha
      I second this wholly.

    I'm fairly certain this isn't the first time that you've seen this, you did a video on a similar product a while back. A laptop processor that had been retro fitted to work in a desktop by soldering it to another PC, but this looks like a much cleaner product in my opinion.
    That said, awesome video and very cool product.

    Here's a suggestion for quick and dirty figuring out the flatness of a surface.
    Buy/use a Metal straight edge ruler.
    put it's edge against the surface and look for light through gaps between the two.
    Works great for checking lapped heatsink flatness.

    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.

    is it advisable to not worry about cleaning the old thermal paste off the CPU heatsink prior to applying new paste and installing the cooler on a new CPU?

    i'm not surprised. if i remember right the core series was actually based on the Pentium m series. their reduced power requirements made for higher speeds at lower temperatures.

    I want to see you showcase oldschool hardware audio like EAX and A3d and
    compare them to modern equivalents to see if we've actually moved
    forward or not, would be interesting to see!
