How Much CPU Can Handle?

in this video I conduct a lot of experiments on computer hardware, in particular on old intel cpu. for example, I heat them up with a Gas Torch, scalp the processor with solder and much more

Those capacitors are not only filtering, but they have a special purpose. If there's a sudden increase in power consumption (can be going from idle to a cpu stress test) the motherboard will not be able to increase the power on time (and the physical distance between the VRMs and the CPU cores matters), so those capacitors act like batteries, which are phisically near to the cores, so that they can cover that power increase until the motherboard power arrives

so what might happen if you suddenly have a spike in cpu usage without these capacitors? would it blow up? just stop working? Im very curious to know if this would fail, and HOW it would fail.

2:12 . These capacitors are used for filtering/decoupling the voltage that comes to CPU. Nice content, btw.

@santiagobarrera2387 8 ай бұрын

Those specifically not, those are for when there's a sudden change in the current (for example going from idle to a stress test), the electricity can't physically get there in time, those capacitors act like "batteries" that are physically nearer and can power the CPU on time. If he tries to go from idle to stress without those, probably it will bluescreen or turn off because of CPU undervoltage

This man basically proved that while sure you should be careful with your components, first time builders do not need to worry about breaking something as easily as it may seem. Hell even I myself is pretty impressed with the durability of these fossils.

why do they always think pulling it out while it's running will kill it all it does is the same thing as turning the computer off sure the system will crash due to no cpu or ram but it runs fine after you reinstall it

@nikitazaycev8636 6 ай бұрын

@@SaraMorgan-ym6uewell yes and no. Primarily in laptops, if you happen to disconnect anything while the battery is still plugged in, the chances of sending the 19v (main power line in pc laptops) directly into the cpu (1v) killing it instantly. Its because the desktop atx pc's are meant to be modular, which is why they are so idiot proof.

@malvinchau2056 6 ай бұрын

@@nikitazaycev8636its actually because of the power supply. A good quality power supply has overcurrent and power surge protection. jayztwocents made a video about putting water on a pc, the psu will auto shut off and refuse to turn on until its been cut off from current for a few minutes. Not all PSUs have this capability, which is why you should always buy C tier or higher PSUs.

all these ways were dumb. first of all old cpu's. i didnt know about the caps just fore current regulation but you would do none of this damage in reality. Bent socket pins is 1st problem. Most Mb's have protection but in some cases you could push the voltage above what it can take but idk my z77 had max 1.57v and i tried that at 5.2ghz on a 2600k and it wouldnt die no matter what. 1.52v daily driver on (4,8x4 5.0x1) now im driving r5 5500 on 1.408 lets see how it survives. The capacitors on new cpus gpus etc are way smaller and you can knock the off pretty easily and wont even notice is gone. this can be soldered by anyone the ones now are as small as a grain of sand what are you about? Also i think people short the MB to the case way more often then any of the complicated things. Look at a cpu power connector and an 8pin for gpu switch them around and cya. Most thermal shit and deliding n shit is pontless unless you bought a used budget cpu and have no other option cause its shit and you have no more money and a well placed fan is better anyway. like i see this as a po0ntless video it had nothing just destruction. just the deliding was kind of interesting to see that it didnt matter but cracked pcbs is nothing new

@@marisbarkans9251 you did read that I said "fossils" pointing to the specific components they used in this video right? Of course nobody could re-solder a capacitor that small, nor correct a bent pin unless they have the precision of a machine. As for feeding your CPU a lot of voltage for giggles, I'll leave that to the LN2 overclockers. Lastly, if you by some odd chance manage to feed a PCIe power cable into the CPU connector, I'll have to applaud you. They are keyed, and in most cases labeled as well, for a reason. :)

Capacitors are for voltage stability so when an area of the chip needs a sudden burst of current, the current reserves are there in case the VRM on the motherboard isn't fast enough to keep pace. They help keep the voltage stable for sudden millisecond spikes in current draw.
