How to Recognize a Legitimate Intel Box Processor Linus Tech Tips

[aeroaa2]

A MAC ?? WTF L.

just kidding im not a stupid hater --_--''

[ethanalex102]

Linus!,

...THAT IS A MAC!?!wait!a sec... your camera man tell you to get one of those piece of f** s**? ALL the views see the iphone?

[0peppers]

Just make sure you buy your components from an approoved store, retailer or w/e. Don't buy it off eBay or from a dark alley lol.

[Uberlight2]

A MAC!? A MAC!?!?! I'm a bit heartbroken to be honest.

[MrHippo00100]

@Uberlight2 He does video editing, Macs make sense for that

[YvesWonGhz17]

WTF? is that a styrofoam heatsink?

[LandonHeat]

anyone try mounting that fake heat sink on a real processor?

[Gr8rThenU]

Damn Linus you must be embarrassed watching this video remembering the days when you use to be a Mac Derp

[T3CHnGaming]

more then likely the music you listen to was produced on a mac. Sadly there is a target audience for windows and they hit a home run :P. Apples target audience are producers and the like.

[0oDarkLordRevano0]

Macs are for old people, retards, and hipsters. ENOUGH SAID.

[couer1911]

@0oDarkLordRevano0 True haha

[AliTubelog]

I hope Linus doesn't look at youtube comments. They're filled with idiotic kids...or at least hope they're kids and not adults.

[whoknows2fly]

is linus using a mac? WHAT

[69guitarchick]

@whoknows2fly First, nothing is wrong with using macs. Second, thats not his, thats the camera man's desk.

[gomez1323]

It's funny how people who hate on Macs don't know ANYTHING about them, and just hate on them to seem "cool". *sigh* What a bunch of kids.

[RibaFish66]

@gomez1323 Explain to me then.What do i get if pay 1000 dollars more for a Mac than for a PC?

[gomez1323]

@RibaFish66 If you like doing everything else better than a PC can do, other than gaming, then yes.

[RibaFish66]

@gomez1323 Oh really everything better?Could you please elaborate how is it better if PC has superior hardware and software for a lot less money?Ah another stupidity that is only Apple fan capable of.

[gomez1323]

@RibaFish66 Why do you think Linus uses one in his job? Macintosh computers are better for video editing, photo editing, video rendering, music composition, and many other things, since Macs use less system resources than Windows. It's not stupidity, I'm not ignorant, and I'm not an Apple fan. My PC specs are

Intel Core i7 860 @ 3.2 GHz

G.Skill Ripjaws 12GB 1333MHz

ASUS P7P55D LE Motherboard

WD Caviar Black 1TB

So yeah, I'm not an Apple fanboy, and I'm not a Windows Retard, I'm in the middle.

[RibaFish66]

@gomez1323 In his job maybe.You dont know that for sure.But at home he has custom build PC not mac.If he loved and appreciate macs he would have one at home.I dont know what are you trying to prove by listing your supposedly specs but it didnt impress me sorry.

[MinecraftGoat69]

Do i sense a little bit of exasperation and sarcasm in there?

[geowal91]

Mac is better than PC.

[Spoojjy]

@geowal91 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HA...........No

[7omRavenclaw]

@geowal91 No, it's not.

[HDGamingGuy]

@geowal91 A MAC is a PC dumbass! PC stands for Personal Computer.

[scaleop4]

@geowal91 you trying to start a flame war?

[hostage20061990]

@geowal91 How so ?

[0oDarkLordRevano0]

Is. That. A. Fucking. MAC?!?!

WHAT THE HELL, LINUS?

[chuninuzomaki]

@0oDarkLordRevano0 Yes and what's wrong with it?

[Roland0314]

@chuninuzomaki 3 words: It's a mac.

[sijmenjan]

@chuninuzomaki LinuxTechTips. He reviews about hardware components and gaming. Macs aren't about upgrading to the newest hardware, and not about gaming at all.

[chuninuzomaki]

@sijmenjan LinusTechTips*

He's at work, his work place uses Macs, I know it's weird but its not uncommon. The rant that I would like to make is that Linus lied, he said in the ultrabook comparison video that he has no idea how to work around Mac OS X when clearly I can see that he uses/used it on a frequent basis.

Also Camera Man uses a Mac and he works at NCIX, it's not a sin to like both.

[WeAreTwoDoorsDown]

@0oDarkLordRevano0 It's probably a hackintosh...

[ryan9298b2]

Mac???????????????

[Samail666]

Uh, derp?

[Dreadvizzle]

280 people didnt know that fans are not made of papermachè.

[toughdog6789]

that is the worst fucking heatsink i've ever had, it doesn't stay put on the motherboard and i have to constantly watch my temps and wiggle it a bit to get it to properly sit on the cpu.

[ImAKillZoneFan]

But do the fake intel proccesors work ?

Pls reply

[Roflmfaooooooo]

@TheSniper302

It's all down to the retailer. The guy that got screwed probably bought it from eBay :).

[tavi921]

that's what happens if you buy an i7 from a taco shop...

[tkbomber]

Linus...on a mac..

[iErxr]

@tkbomber He's just using one of them stupid island-key Mac layout keyboards. =P

[Arqideus1988]

"How to recognize a legitimate box processor: open up the box and see if you have the correct parts."

[Remi1115]

@Ripafartstudios

I"m not trying to troll, like you selfish kid.

[justmymage]

Heh linus plays WOW.

[impje]

is it nice to have cooler paste on your desk ? =D

[Platerpus7]

Macs are great. i love both of my macs and hate both of my pc's, there garbage..but when i put windows 7 on my macs, they seem to run it better. im just someone who made my opinion after having both, not someone who hates one just bc i have the other

[cravedave01]

Stop dissing Linus for having a mac it is a great Operating System for video editing and graphic design. I'm sure he has about 5 million other pc's for gaming. BTW he could be running a Hackintosh, just like the one I'm posting this comment on :)

[cravedave01]

Hackintosh????

[balagehun1991]

WoW mousepad ftw

[athlonz2007]

The french part is messed up too lol

[mrbest20]

@macb00k1 no? why would i be mad its still crap

maybe ur name is overpriced aswell

[mrbest20]

what u doing on a mac crap?

[daro2096]

@mrbest20

He may be running a Hackintosh you know.

[mrbest20]

@daro2096 mac is still a joke tho

my custom gaming rig can eat it alive :D

[daro2096]

@mrbest20

Have you ever used a mac? Its much better than windows. And you can run windows on a mac either through a virtual programe or through bootcamp.

[mrbest20]

@daro2096 i used a mac

its not better

its more expensive

thats why my gaming rig now beats every mac out there and cost less i havent had a malware infection for 6 - 7 years now

[Ace33blue]

@mrbest20 No one cares about your slow pc

[mrbest20]

@Ace33blue ye sure... its slow u mofo it beats ur shitty 470 GTX :)

[Ace33blue]

[angeloberdugo13]

that actually is a good cooler, it's made of soap, it will keep your processor clean

[jonassx100]

LOoks Like He is On CAMERAMAN PC :D

HOW TO RECOGNIZE ITS A REAL INTEL WITHOUT UNBOX IT FIRST

[jonassx100]

LOoks Like He is On CAMERAMAN PC :D

[DisownedTOM420]

Another reason why >>> I <<<< like AMD over intel. Just ordered a Phenom II X4 840 and.... there was a CPU inside! Wow how hard that must have been to accomplish.

[aeminence]

@DisownedTOM420 Well yeah, since no one is going to bother to make fakes for AMD seeing as no one gives a fuck enough to buy them over Intel. With that attitude why wont you go ahead and switch to Mac too LOL Because MS has the same problem but with Viruses/Malware in that the more popular OS has more attacks to it.

[Mooseguy15]

@aeminence can't wait for Zambezi processors to come out and fucking own intels ass prolly even own the gay socket 2011 dumb intel fanboy gtfo

[Mdemons12]

@Mooseguy15 Bulldozer has already failed to "own" in single threaded apps and in multi threaded apps is only similar to a quad core i7 2600. 8 vs 4 cores.

[Armaangandevia1]

@DisownedTOM420 ive seen fake amd boxes lol 

[MrComputereviews]

osx !!!!!!

[killersooer]

OMG I BET THIS THING RUNS ROOM TEMP WITH THAT AWESOME BEAST COOLER. OHHH YEAH MY FRIEND RECIEVED ONE AND THREW IT IN HIS MOBO LIKE A DUMB RETARD NEWEGG REFRESHED HIM WITH A NEW SABERTOOTH X58 AND A 980X im not joking. It was a gift for christmas.

[xMAR99]

Are you in Russia?

cuz normally people shop from you.

[G00SE216]

WTF is up with Mac OS X running in the background?

[AmdAtiForever]

@MisterAwesome33

Windows and mac is like auto transmission and manual transmission.

Most of world uses manual(windows)

But is it better? No.

Sometimes you want manual tranny like in a BMW m3. Although some people would want an auto m3.

It really depends on what you are doing.

I use windows because all I use is windows programs. I like Microsoft and apple. I am writing this on an itouch :)

[freakyflow]

@AmdAtiForever Stay away from them Tranny's named manny

[MrHeyangelyouduhsexy]

@AmdAtiForever No one gives a shit

Shut up bro.

[thatbastardson]

if you rip people off, you should be stripped butt naked, and dropped onto a deserted island, to die slow. every day you survive, i show up, eat pizza in front of you while calling you a douche bag through a megaphone, and release packs of starving, pissed off, meat eating wild animals.

[indidesidude]

FUCKIN CHINESE.....Now they r making Fake Processors....What's next....Fake CONDOMS.....FUCK CHINKIES

[MisterAwesome33]

yeaaaaaaaaaa os x is so much better than windows, it just doesnt have as much software and doesnt support everything (software and hardware), but is much simpler and easier to use.

[cokefan3]

Hahaa, i wanna see some idiot actually installing this onto their motherboard.

[IIGrayfoxII]

dont buy from china

[freego56]

yeah! why you have an apple computer? a man build their own computer!!! that's why you are linus and that's why we watch your videos!! :(

[wolfpackflt670]

Headcrabs are not included in box.(sold separately)

[f0zi]

Hey linus the fan over to the right when u line them up....is that one good? i got it when i bought my cpu :p

[pedro380085]

Asian people.....

[Remi1115]

I though you didn't like Macs.

[ALLIHAVE21]

you would have to be either realllllly stupid or really cheap to end up with a fake processor im sorry but even over the internet how did you manage that???

[n00bcakey]

@ALLIHAVE21 According to the actual thread, they bought it off newegg and this is what was shipped to them.

[ALLIHAVE21]

@n00bcakey yeah yeah i heard that but i acctualy know some one who saw the ebay pictures and still thought it was a legit I7 hahaha its was fun to she him unboxing that : P

[bvestationfan]

fake i7 lol

[JASON9948]

what is the mac for

[ThePCmonkey]

@JASON9948 Nothing....

[ctoon6]

only in asia

[scary989]

Try overclocking with that cooler. 

[cheno95]

Hypocrite! Saying your camera guy has Mac Hans where you indeed yourself, own a mac! Or a PC with a Macintosh OS. Or what appears to be a Macintosh OS.

[Intz51]

All i say is buy from reputable company or person, dont fall for an amazing bargain prices, and remember if something sounds to be too good to be true, then probably it isn't.

[shadysebaai]

OMG they really sell those out there!

[MiniExtreme]

Please tell me that is not a Mac Linus u have a Mac keyboard there that's making me think it is if anyone noes if this is a Mac please tell =)

[Intz51]

@MiniExtreme i think aswell that this is hackintosh he is running with his pc. Yes, hackintosh and not macintosh. But i havent read much about it, but you can run basically like macintosh with your pc.

[bigothetechguy]

Is that a hackintosh he is using cuz with all the pc stuff id imagine he wouldnt

[Maudio13]

super messy desk, but thank you for the information ^^

[cvdvds]

"looks like a big junk of .... beige ... junk!

[simoncallender]

LMAO!

[Schmidteren]

You just need to buy Intel products from a porn site!... You allwyas get good luck that way!

[sharkie541]

why do they go so far to scam someone making all that shit

[Ltb0b]

Unless your buying OEM you'll get just the cpu :D

[94XJ]

@Ltb0b True...but still it shouldn't be to hard to figure out you've got a fake when the back side of the "cpu" is all one color of just metal with none of the pin contact pads.

I still laugh at publicstunt who actually put one of these things in his motherboard. I bet that "heatsink" kept the "cpu" really cold.

[using192]

eehm i think you can regonise the real thing about weight.... doesnt weights metal more then paper?

[gamenow44]

all i can say is HAHAHAHAHAHAHA feel sorry for any poor bastard that buys a fake one LOL

[MriTechTalk]

so you use a mac and a pc

[HeavenvsHellProduct]

wait a mac os on the windows pc??? aint that illegal? or is it a mac desktop

[TheJesusIrl]

@HeavenvsHellProduct There is no such this as a "Windows PC", the Mac OS's can be bought separate from Mac Computers on the Apple site, so its obvious it's legal.

[supercooled]

@TheJesusIrl don't be stupid. Read the fine print and you will discover that Apple says you need to install it on a Apple brand computer. It's very explicit so as to there is no room to misconstrue or misinterpret the wording.

Stop spreading misinformation.

[xXxmidgexXx]

OSX???? Dude to be honest , that's a disgrace to all custom builders . Including me .

[blobrockster]

You've got a mac? WTF WTF WTF WTF.....

[Solidstate89]

LINUS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON OS X!?

[ShitakeStudios]

@Solidstate89 that's cameramans computer. :D

[igouroum]

@Solidstate89 don't worry it's a hackintosh ;)

[markolo25]

@Solidstate89 its cameraman's

[DynamicJDUB99]

I think if if got that in a box for $300 id shoot myself. lol

[Georgefromaccounting]

those fake intel fans look like half life head craps :P

[ThrashMetalForces]

So now your name is l-a-ee-n-u-s? I always thought it was pronounced ..Linus..

[Damaruth]

I heard this clocks over 4ghz with the stock cooler

[GamerNebulae]

@Damaruth it wil overclock to 4 ghz with every cooler but you need to look at the temps of the CPU

[Damaruth]

@GamerNebulae LMAO my comment was a joke, I meant the fake chip ofc...

[GamerNebulae]

@Damaruth ok...

[PCTechTalks]

@Damaruth not unless you wanna keep your house and chip from melting :)

[gmk120]

@Damaruth core I5 in stock cooler is able to reach 4,7

[Damaruth]

@gmk120 Omfg :/ I always fail at trolling! I Meant that this piece of shit copy shit clocks over 4ghz!

[gmk120]

@Damaruth if you want to activate your Ultimate Maximum Trolling mode just start saying: I HAZ A PENTHIUM 2 AND I OVERCLOCKED IT TO 12 GHz WITHOUT COOLER AND I UNLOCKED 6 COREZ!!!111!!!one!!

[TheEDZKIEZ]

@Damaruth Do you mean 4MHz but I still doubt it though.

[Maxaker67]

@TheEDZKIEZ troll?

[adammbb22]

@Damaruth LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL mayb u herd right but no way did that processor last long. it would be overheated and dead within lesss than an hour especially when theres a big load!

[Damaruth]

@adammbb22 I was talking about the fake processor in a sarcastic way...

[mackawack12346]

I can recognize your mothers box, it's loose, about 10 inches wide, and usually has my dick in it

[senseibeer]

pwnd!

[iluvtoskate1]

do u work at Blizzard Entertainment? just wonderng cause u have a World of Warcraft and ure in a raised looking office building kind of like blizzard, i know theres alot of buildings like that but i am just wondering. xD

[TheTechVox]

@iluvtoskate1 Hmm makes you wonder! AHA!!...^^ and a apple keyboard too? LINUS!! o.O

[XCVGVCX]

Is he using a Mac? That seems awfully ironic. Unless it's a Hackintosh, which is possible.

[TheTechVox]

@XCVGVCX Hmm makes you wonder! AHA!!...^^ and a apple keyboard too? LINUS!! o.O

[Plur307]

@TheTechVox

Apple keyboards work on PCs. I'm getting one for my new PC build. I have an iMac at work and the same keyboard as his. It's silent and smooth as butter, my favorite keyboard I've ever used. Ironically the Mac mouse is the worst mouse I've ever used, even compared to track ball mice I had 10 years ago...

[FuckoffTard]
