today we're going to be doing a quick unboxing of the Phenom 2 X6 1100t so
this is a multi-core processor as you may or may not have figured out by now
it is also a Phenom 2 as you may or may not have figured out by now this is a
black edition processor which means that you have full control over the CPU
multiplier now that's actually uh it
even means a little bit it means something a little bit
different than it even used to because it used to be
the Black Edition meant you had one multiplier to uh either turn up or turn
down according to your will so it meant okay well you don't have to fuss around
with uh with adjusting the the uh the ratio
of the actual bus speed itself you can just turn up the multi there's your
overclock turn up the voltage you're done well now with the turbo processor
so that is all of the six cores from AMD right now that have a t at the end of
the part number have a feature that allows them to scale up the frequency
when you're running three cores or less
so this processor although it says 3.3 GHz and that's your stock multiplier
also runs at 3.7 GHz when you're running
with three active processing threads or less so you can not only adjust the
stock multiplier but you can also adjust
the turbo multiplier so you can make it so okay let's say you've decided you
know oh I want you know what I'm going to leave my stock speed when I'm running
like heavily multi-threaded stuff at 3.3 GHz so that I don't get more power
consumption or so whatever your reasoning is but I'm going to turn my
Turbo up to 4 GHz so that when I'm running games for example which only use
a few processor course I can really get the most out of my CPU so that's a cool
feature all right here is the processor itself this is an am3 processor which
means it fits in an am3 socket as well as an am2 plus socket and it is fully
compatible with DDR3 as well as ddr2 to memory so AMD is the only processor
mainstream processor company these days that is actually still producing chips
that are compatible with ddr2 on the
highend this is a six core processor that you can actually plunk into your
old ddr2 board with your ddr2 RAM as long as your board supports it we also
get a case badge sticker we get a little uh warranty certificate of authenticity
installation guide thing it folds out to about the size of like a wall poster so
I'm not going to open it right now and then we also have an included stock heat
SN so their stock heat sink hasn't changed much since the days of socket
939 we've got what appears to be a 60 mm
fan it is manufactured by AVC it uses a
four pin pwm fan header and here's a little tip for you guys if you want it
to look tidier in your case twist it up
like this that way instead of being like a
total mess when you plug it into your uh into your fan header and like looking
like this you can actually have it just all sort of come together like that and then you
can plug it in somewhere and then kind of twist it up like that so it's sort of
more uniform anyway it has four heat pipes two of them go one way two of them
go the other way you've got a pre-applied thermal pad and the thermal
pad that comes on stock uh heat sinks from actually both major CPU companies
these days are pretty darn good so you don't really need to replace it unless
you really want to and your standard AMD
mounting mechanism thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Phenom
2x6 1100t also don't forget to check out
my build guide featuring this processor in AMD's best of the best machine which
happens to be sitting over in that room right now you can sort of see it anyway
check it out on my ncixcom channnel as
well as my uh my vision system overview where I show some benchmarks from this
particular processor against its competition don't forget to subscribe to
