When I posted this I was trying to find the one shown in a recent YouTube video thumbnail. Let's see...

Found this one as well, much more elegant:
Bwahahahahaha
I've never seen autism so accurately captured in a photo. This is both insanely focused and completely pointless
given how tight the timings and the inductance is on the signals, I doubt that the result is any working cpu.
plus, cross talk
the whole net is an antenna....
How does the heat sink maintain contact?
With menthol toothpaste of course.
It doesnt
what heat sink ? ......
so, most likely fake... meaning, not working
Eh, get 30 seconds before it overheats. I once had to make a foil bowl to replace a lost heat sink and clips, put an ice cube in it every 5 min. Managed to get all needed data off that way. Before it wouldn’t finish booting.
If you're real computer techs, where are your sockets? "We don't need no stinking sockets!"
The fuck is happening here?

SERIOUS AUTISM. Someone told him he couldn't solder a BGA chip.
That’s what happens when you run out of solder paste/balls.
I'm not even going to pretend I know how this fucker managed to do that. At first it looked like he used 30 gauge wire wrap wire, but I can see now that it is actually enamel coated magnet wire around 40 gauge in size. There are no holes on the board where he could have pulled the wires through to solder them in place so he had to manage soldering the wires to the PCB pads directly with the neighboring wires moved out of the way. The one dangling wire is a sign that he likely has many disconnects inside the birds nest under the BGA package. It looks like some shitty Intel proc so I don't know why anyone would even try to fix it this way.
He soldered the wires to the chip then soldered them to the board. Probably bent the tip of the wire to create a tiny foot.
It would have been pretty simple to just go row by row.
pretty simple to just go row by row
Simple, but mind-numbingly tedious and frustrating.
Looks more like a mobo's Chipset (south bridge?) to me.
I'm not even going to pretend I know how this fucker managed to do that.
My best guess is he soldered the wires in the middle and worked his way out and it must have taken DAYS to do this. It's a feat that impresses and horrifies at the same time.
Testing day Oh shit Cold joint in the middle
.... you know you can just resolder it using a heat gun. all of my wtf.
Just remove all plastic parts and put it in the oven. Reflow everything.
I baked my old GTX 580 back to life a couple of times like that. Of course the thing just cooked itself after a month or two again every time.
absolute ClownBoard
Looks good to get some cooling under the chip.
The copper traces and PCB actually sink a lot of heat.
This person has too much time on their hands
