I love how reckless these "Linus isn't here" videos are.
Well, but that's the whole point of this channel, ain't it? Hysterically hilarious hysterical content.
This one would have been a whole lot more reckless back in the day when CPUs didn't have Thermal shutoff.
ruediix So cocking with Intel days
Is there a playlist
It's like Linus is really there!
When Alex is in a video with Linus he's so logical and reserved. This however is pure unhinged Alex and Riley is constantly scared
I love it! He brought an engineer into a “let’s test things and see what happens” kind of video; that’s like an engineer’s nirvana
HAHA this comment is so accurate i loved seeing Alex like this im sure Linus would be proud.
It is like when Linus gets sillier around Anthony.
Logical? He's completely inept.
Somehow he managed to con his way into this job. He was an "Engineering Major" but never finished any courses, so....
@@SaltNBattery Since when did logical mean educated, or qualified even (obviously he's qualified tho bc I'm sure Linus would have let Alex go if he thought he wasn't doing his job)?
"oh no! I don't have any thermal paste for my processor!
Thank goodness I had my silicon gel and diamond powder lying around!"
.....dont diss on someone improvising, people ask me how i dont have an aux cable but i have wire, ends and a soldering iron all day long
@@frogz Please Tell me how closely related you believe diamond powder and copper wire are.
It depends, what are we casting as a metric for success?I could easily argue that even basic metal to metal soldered heatsink and ihs would be on par or better than 95% of what's out there in the enthusiast market, possibly with some ketchup and mayo between the die and ihs, js
Oh yeah and I have some graphite on hand, there is allot of materials that will work great

Being an engineer, Alex is representing very well. "I think it'll work" that's engineering 101

"putting mustard on a $2000 processor"

Seeing Alex being a 'naughty little boy' rather than 'serious engineer brain man' is a wonderful thing.
Alex is the epitome of true neutral, he just does things that he thinks is a good idea at the time while everyone else just looks at him like he’s deranged. One moment he is worrying about cpu temperatures and the next he is cleaning off a processor under a tap and cleaning mustard off the board with a soapy sponge
Riley: "I brought Alex to keep me in check."
Alex: "Oh, but this CPU needs a bath now."
I love this channel sometimes.
So Alex was suppose to keep Riley in check. The one thing that no one asked was who was going to keep Alex in check.

yes
Riley's ever-increasing stress levels watching Alex work is amazing
When you started washing the CPU I almost choked on my sandwich
Probably the least sketchy thing in this video
Did it have grandma’s sandwich spread?
Imagine the Ebay listing: 7980XE with a mustard stain on it.

@@ferlessleedr pretty much.
yea as linus returns and is like **sniff sniff** why does my test bench smell like hotdogs and nutella.
Could make a whole great series of videos.
Have his techs come up with something to goof off, then he makes a second video to goof off.
He's having trouble keeping up with demand for his videos so it sounds like a cool idea.
Agreed!
I don't know... we're talking about a guy that used zip ties to secure a CPU fan....
We need more content like this, just let Alex and Riley run wild lol
I felt so attacked when David was like "most people will have turned off the video by now", while I was there watching with so much interest
Linus: *Builds realistic looking set*
Riley and Alex: *Leave tripods , lights and production monitors in frame*
Pro RUclipsrs, everyone
I thought everyone has tripods, lights and production monitors in their kitchen?
Like good old days
but you need those things no matter how realistic your set is. it doesn't matter if it's a real kitchen or a fake kitchen all of that equipment would still be there.

Mustard will it thermal paste?
YES!

"You're taking your mask off? What are you doing?!"
Yeah, that feels different now
Alex is an unbelievably chaotic force when it comes to his ideas
I love the concept that you won't have thermal paste but will have industrial diamond and silicone lube.
I do :) I like buying strange stuff
Lube is always necessary for certain applications ;)
@@saikarthik1857 diamond dust though. Definitely something everyone has in there closet
why wouldn't you have silicon lube around. It's the go to for protecting metal parts and lubricating hinges and shit. Far better than WD-40 which is NOT a lubricant and just gums up over time
@@MaxC_1 Who said anything about WD-40?
"pick some up from NCIX"

In less than a year, Riley and Alex became an integral part of the identity of Linus Tech Tips, and I find that quite admirable!

As an engineer myself, I can relate to Alex's confidence level.

can we have a "when Linus isn't at office" video playlist
edited : missing "at"
it would have all of their videos because linus is not an office.
@@Pickelhaube808 Unless... Unless...
Riley: *joins linus cause NCIX went bankrupt*
also Riley: "Just buy thermal paste from NCIX"
It's a good choice, because then there's no issue of favoritism. At this point, it's the same as saying "your local bigbox store"
Yeah, keep that name alive!
my top 3 characters of linus tech tips
1. Dennis: just let him talk
2. Riley: the guy who knows some stuff
5. Anthony: probably tech gandalf

You're selling Anthony short.
Alex can build anything he wants!
Linus: The main character everyone loves, but can also be a strong support character who helps move plot along smoothly
how dare you disrespect bryan the electrician
Well Madison would be on top now since she’s been hired
Alex is so chill when he does everything, no matter whether it's reasonable or not. The man could have used some highly alkaline or highly acidic goo and still act like he did intend to get some corrosion to happen

*weird
Yeah this duo so hot right now
Riley: "But what if you're out of thermal paste? Yeah you could just go order more and pick some up from NCIX."
Me: 🙁
Amen
Those two guys are doing the greatest shit. Please make an own category with those two goofing around always starting with: "Linus just went to the toilet/store/somewhere and we have 20 minutes to screw around."
I second this.
One more reason to resurrect Channel Super Fun
and you know how often Linus is going to the toilet store
Theory: Linus media group is actually a front for aperture science!
especially when they say "we do what we musst because we can"
still waiting for "we're not banging rocks together here we know how to ..."
Ive had a really bad day and this really cheered me up. Thanks!!
OH NO!! I seem to have run out of thermal paste! Let me just grab my diamond dust real quick.
Nicholas Mootoo you should probably just dip your cpu into mustard 😂
you can get a small jar of diamond dust for $10 US but mustard is cheaper
@@thefrenchguard6999 I'll take your word for it but still, thermal paste can cost as little as 5 US. Besides, why would you have diamond dust in the first place?
@@bombaclat9758 Like he said in the video, its mostly used for polishing. It is a thing that some people might have laying around. but it doesnt conduct heat as well as normal sized diamonds so this is not a good use for it.

Let's just hope his wife took his internet access away cause you know he'd be on the phone after seeing this lol
@@DarkXeno I hate to be a buzzkill, but I'm almost certain that these videos (excepting TechLinked) are filmed a few weeks in advance... I think that Linus said this a while ago. Linus, as far as I know, is back from his holiday already, and has henceforth found out about this project (and probably green-lighted it) prior to this video even being filmed and uploaded.
UPDATE: I just saw at 10:50 that this video was shot on March 27th.
yeah he talked about it with Riley in a friday stream before going on vacation

5:30 this was literally me. I was pulling everything apart cause I was curious. Turns out the original thermal paste was dried out (it was nearly 20 years old). Plopped on some toothpaste, booted great, then found out the hard drive and motherboard were both kaput. Built my dad a new computer a few months later in the old case. 10/10 would recommend
You guys look like you have a lot of fun at work. Good on you all!
"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should."
Alex and Riley always find a way.
Linus reaction "why are there ants in this PC and what happened to the CPU?"
At least they didn't drop the CPU
What is this? A PC for ants?!
@@DeanDip Oh no your giving them ideas now they will build a ant farm PC. Linus get back quickly to stop them. Lol

Personally I just stick welded my cooler to my CPU's IHS, no gaps there. It stays really cool, completely room temperature in fact. Mind you, it doesn't actually do anything anymore. Maybe the grounding clamp was too tight?
try corrosion block grease, designed by learjet, used myself a few times, very good heat transfer, dielectric, and incredibly small particle size plus does not dry out. works out to be a lot cheaper too ;)
Linus is like a dad figure to his employees. When he leaves his employees go ballistic
I would not say that
More of uncle
Or middle school child
it’s more akin to the plot of Where the Wild Things Are
Really enjoying Linus's vacation. More Alex + Riley pls
Who the hell thought adding Alex to a video would make it LESS chaotic? The man is a jank machine.
this is one of my favorite ltt videos because of the opening
Please do more with Riley, he is too funny to not be in front of the Camera...
Any video with alex has extraordinarily chaotic energy
RIGHT?! I'm still trying to figure out if he's chaotic evil, neutral or good. Because in some videos he's all three, but this one definitely has him at the most chaotic evil.
around 4:44, when that smoooth music creeps in, like literally EVERY thing they say after that sounds like ultra solid "that's what she said" cues 😂😂😂😂

I ended up using graphite on my fanless PC because the point of the PC is running for a decade without needing me to go in and fiddle with it.
Make my own thermal paste? Nah, i prefer to just weld my heat sink to my CPU. Much better temps.
Actually this would be a interesting video idea in line with this one. Why not solder the cpu to a cooler. They’ve done more idiotic ideas in the past. Why not give this a shot.
