Posted April 3, 2018 So this is what you never saw before. And you can't even image this will work. This is a i7 4980HQ whit LGA1150 socket. It looks like a sandwich. And it is so thick you need to add that metal ring to the screw to close the cpu cover. This is what it looks like when installed. That shiny top cover is so beautiful. The motherboard I am using is ASRock z87 iCafe4. This CPU won't work with a Gigabyte motherboard because it doesn't support the CrystalWell CPU(which is using HD5200 iGPU). So it boot up normally. I overclock it to 4.2Ghz, and get the same baseline score as 4790K. Although it was a laptop version 4790K. While running p95, it eat over 120W power even i disabled the iGPU. I get about 160W maximum when combine stress. I only have a 400w PSU so I didn't try to overclock to 4.5Ghz but by the comment from other buyers, it is easy to overclock it under 4.6Ghz. So is this thing make sense? I paid for about 1159 CNY ( 184 USD ) and a 4790K sell for 1750 CNY ( 278 USD ) in China . So it is cheaper and with a better iGPU, I think it can be a great deal. Most importantly, the seller says they are using Liquid Metal inside, not a normal thermal paste. By the way, I am using a normal desktop DDR3 DIMM, and a SODIMM to DIMM DDR3 adaptor is only cost 22CNY which is 3 USD. And you can find many cheap laptop ddr3 memory, so if you have an LGA1150 motherboard this will be a best upgrade. Leave me comments if you have anything want to test. For reference, a BGA to PGA modded 4980hq is 820CNY, this mean I paid 300CNY for this mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 13, 2018 21 minutes ago, ONOTech said: Don't mean to necro this thread, but after watching Linus' video - I'm really interested. Can you give more information on the overclocking? Was it BCLK or multiplier? Were you able to change the Vcore? I have a friend who has been messing with this chip recently, at least on his board it was semi unlocked. He had multiplier control up to 44x, however it also supported bclk straps (locked chips aren't supposed to have that) so he was able to set the 125 bclk strap and run 38x multiplier to get his chip to 4.8 on water for benching. Also got some "strong" igpu scores on it as it has a gpu just a bit slower than what the 5775c has as well as l4 cache. The difference is haswell clocks significantly better than broadwell cpus side and probably gpu side as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 14, 2018 15 hours ago, ONOTech said: Thanks for the this! Do you know his complete setup? (Mostly the mobo) and if he was able to OC the iGPU? He was on some form of maximus vi, however he had all kinds of random issues like it failing to post every other reboot. Not sure how much is his board and how much is cpu. His board was a bit rough when he got it from ebay. And the cpu further flattened out the pins. Plus I wonder how well a z87 board with a pre-broadwell bios supports the l4 cache. Basically as long as you don't use a gigabyte board these cpus should work to some degree out of the box. Based on his experience I can't recomend it as a daily chip however I've yet to test it on a proper z97 board. Need to convince him to send it to me for testing As for the IGP all intel HD graphics pre-lake chips can be overclocked. They've always had fully unlocked multiplier on z series boards until lga 1151 where the IGP is also locked on locked chips. (no bclk past 102.99 on locked skylake igp either as disabling the IME takes avx and igp with it).

Posted November 15, 2018 I bought one myself (4980HQ) here's to hoping it works and is actually a 4980HQ. as for the board I bought a cheap Z87 from sapphire ($30 shipped). I doubt a Z97 board would work better vs a Z87 board, as this is still technically Haswell/Crystalwell As for iGPU overclocking, I could oc my HD 4600 on my Alienware 17 R1, unlocked chip (4930MX) or not (4700MQ) but I preferred the dGPU (GTX 780M/980M/1070) I wish I still had it so I could get a PGA version of the 4980HQ https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=561463114198 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 21, 2021 Hello, could you get me out of a doubt? Can I modify the processor of a laptop with a BGA to LGA adapter that I found in AliExpress maybe by reballing and putting the adapter, I am very interested in modifying my laptop bga 1356 to LGA maybe my question is very silly but I would appreciate very much if you could answer it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
