Has Aliexpress Motherboard Science Gone Too Far?

now you know it's going to be a good time  when the trash bag packaging comes out [Music]   now the thing that makes this urine motherboard  from AliExpress more exciting than a normal   motherboard is that it has a laptop CPU  soldered straight to the board making it   a lot less flexible and on the back it shows  some pictures of the heat spreader that covers   the laptop die out of modesty presumably now I  can't quite remember which of these CPU options   I ended up buying so I guess we'll find that  out together later on let's open it up [Music]   oh it comes with a very straight cut note  with some useful advice on it and then we   also get a SATA cable with a little bit  of thermal paste it's a nice addition now the first thing that I noticed is that  it didn't come with the CMOS battery that's   a bit weird I guess I'll just have to steal  one from another motherboard now aside from   the abducted CMOS battery the most exciting part  of this motherboard is the Slither of copper in   the middle it's cool that they pre-install the  heat spreader for you although around the back   they did use some hipster triangle head screws  for some reason either way it's cool that you   don't have to worry about damaging the die and  I'm sure that it also helps with like cooler   mounting clearance and stuff next up according  to the sticker we've got an early 11th core i7   in here which I'm assuming is the 11800h a laptop  chip that's relatively recent and very powerful   so we should be able to get some gaming out of  this chip that won't make our eyes bleed even   with its eye GPU but we'll find out soon enough  in terms of rear i o we've got a bunch of video   out which should help for igpu gaming other than  that though it's not looking fancy back here but   it should get the job done in terms of the power  delivery it looks like the kind of thing used by   the ancient Sumerians to power their cattle but  it's a pretty low power draw laptop chip so it   should be fine next to that I'm really excited  by the fact that despite it being a laptop chip   we have full size desktop Ram slots so we don't  have to use any loser laptop Ram generally in   terms of features the motherboard is perfectly  fine we've got two m.2 slots a Wi-Fi card slot   and we even get some front USB 3. very nice  anyway with that let's build our system and   see how she runs some games [Music] a LGA 1200  mounting fits on it that's good to know oh let   me quickly go steal a CMOS battery somewhere and  then we'll finish the cooler mounting [Music] hey hurrying it works now in terms of CPU  apparently it's a genuine Intel cpu000 at   2.2 gigahertz which is very convincing  I guess it's because it's an engineering   sample that it doesn't have its normal name  up uh in terms of memory oh okay well it's   just running at its base frequency but we'll  check out the files in a second and see if   we can do anything about that it just says  Intel UHD Graphics that's that's very useful was an intimidatingly retro throwback with Pages  upon pages of settings all written in what I   can only imagine to be a language long lost to  the annals of history and after a confusing 20   minutes of drowning in sub menus I concluded there  was nothing I could do about the memory speeds   foreign we're starting off with GTA 5 using 1080p  normal settings because we've got an igp wow this   actually isn't running too poorly now it may  just be sitting in the 30s but we're running   at the native resolution of this display and  it's not triggering my botulism what's also   very promising about this is we're only getting  about 11-ish percent CPU utilization so later   on when we throw in a proper graphics card we  may get some serious gaming performance also   look at that power drone [Music] now with  cs go running in competitive settings we   have some jarring stutters but in the moments  of clarity between the stutters despite the   non-show-stopping frame rate the game feels  pretty good often with frame rates this low   you can get a lot of input lag in CS go and while  there's a little bit of it here it's not that bad ah there we go like I'm still able to  put these bots in their place [Music]   okay now hear me out Battlefield 5 may be running  like an asthmatic in a pollen Factory here but   we're using a genuine Intel igpu and there's some  Battlefield 5 happening so I just can't help but   be impressed here dropping the resolution to 720p  yields a significant performance Improvement and   it doesn't look that bad Battlefield 5  wears 720p better than I was expecting   the most exciting thing for me though is that  CPU utilization there's a lot of room to grow now I'm going to be a complete badass  and start off Half-Life 2 with all high   settings I know I know it's Madness  but let's see what happens nice my   bravery paid off look at that hundreds of  frames anyway let's drop it on reasonably   powerful graphics card in here to  really make the CPU wheeze [Music] that is running a little bit better and I've  even cranked the advanced settings to keep us   from the starter zone so this is Peak GTA  5 without mods and stuff and whatever but   yeah it's running a bit better and the system  looks great the motherboard kind of reminds   me of one of those little fish that clean the  mouths of whale sharks it's pretty wholesome   with Battlefield 5 a 1080p ultra settings it's  running interestingly we're getting quite wild   fluctuations in frame rate and we've clearly  got a CPU bottleneck going on here with quite   low GPU utilization what's pretty crazy about  all this for me is that this is ultra settings   and we're getting 150 frames per second but  the graphics cards only being used like 50   percent it's like oh look at this CPU bottleneck  we're only getting 170 frames per second what an   outrage to be fair when things get busier the  frame it does drop tip only about a hundred with cyberpunk at 1080p ultra settings we're  seeing a similar Trend to Battlefield 5 where   the CPU is worth about half the power of the RTX  4070 TI that we're using it is holding the GPU   back but it's a very powerful GPU and it's doing  an admirable job in my opinion I think there's   just one thing left to do I want to remove that  cold plate so we can get some bareback action   between the CPU Cooler and the Silicon die to  see what that does for our temperatures [Music]   very careful about evenly relieving pressure   here because I don't want to  accidentally murder a CPU die oh I think it just fell there is our contact  plate and as you can see they just use a thermal   paste application that makes contact with the  laptop die down there now seeing the height of   this plate I'm actually not sure we're going  to be able to normally Mount that cooler I   don't think it's going to touch the die but we'll  give it a try in a second and in that Obelisk is   our 11th gen laptop CPU which is so tiny let's  give it a clean and have a closer look [Music]   and that shiny bit of silicon with the gold  letters next to it is our genuine Intel CPU foreign wow that's not even almost touching  I guess we're gonna have to get a bit more   ratchet with it a few moments later so  I guess now we're gonna have to Mega raw   Target because we don't even have mounting  hardware for the CPU Cooler what I'm gonna   do is just kind of gently place the cooler  down that feels reasonable let's turn it   on and see what happens wow okay so all you  need to do to knock a couple of degrees off   of your genuine Intel CPU is remove the  contact plate and then precariously lean   your cooler on it it sounds like useful  information to end the video on [Music] thank you
