Linus Tech Tips replicates the Threadripper workstation Linus Torvalds built for himself, discussing the parts such as the CPU and cooler.
Why Hacker News points people here: HN references it when people ask about dev machines and to show how large the CPU and cooler are.

Correct. Torvalds built his PC himself and his words are quoted in the ZdNet's article to which the video author refers to as he builds a "copy" for his youtube channel. The worth of the video is seeing how huge the CPU (1) and the cooler (2) are. 1) this video 2) this video Which is less surprising once one reads the specs: link "Default TDP / TDP 280W"
