00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:06,440
so I was doing some shopping online and I came across a thread where people seem

2
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:11,840
to be a little bit confused about what an Intel Core i7 uh Demo Box should look

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,600
like so here's here's the thread on overclockers decom you can see that he

4
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:19,720
received an i 7920 and that there appears to be a fan

5
00:00:18,119 --> 00:00:25,439
inside so don't worry there's going to be more to this we're going to show you how to recognize a proper Intel

6
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:30,480
processor you can see that the box is covered in spelling mistakes right here

7
00:00:28,519 --> 00:00:35,680
use in a desktop etc etc hyperthreading is not is not

8
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:39,480
spelled properly as per the Intel uh trademark okay we keep going okay so why

9
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:43,120
don't we why don't we diverge here and we'll show you what an Intel demo

10
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:48,239
processor box looks like this is an Intel Core i 3530 please note the lack

11
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:52,480
of any spelling mistakes whatsoever there's all the proper information about

12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:57,440
the CPU inside all right you can see a CPU through the window please note that

13
00:00:54,760 --> 00:01:01,120
it is not made of paper it is a CPU with a metal heat spreader on the top and

14
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:06,240
then through the window you can see that there is a fan and heat sink made of

15
00:01:03,399 --> 00:01:12,320
metal and plastic not made of some kind of a uh plaster of Paris and a sticker

16
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:16,680
okay also please note that unlike the picture here where you can see Factory

17
00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:21,400
sealed is actually printed on the box Factory sealed is actually printed we've

18
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:25,200
already broken this seal but you can see it's printed on the sticker itself and

19
00:01:23,159 --> 00:01:29,400
it comes away in a checker pattern because it's an actual proper security

20
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:34,040
tape okay so why don't we go a little bit further on our on our thread here

21
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:38,799
and see what's going on okay inside this is what it appears to have come with so

22
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:44,399
why don't we open up our demo processor and see what we find inside so we have

23
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:48,680
uh as far as the heat sink is concerned okay first we've got a processor we'll

24
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:53,640
get to that one a little bit after and we've got a heat sink so our heat sink

25
00:01:51,119 --> 00:01:59,320
has um an aluminum base and aluminum fins it's got four push pins okay it has

26
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:04,159
a four pin fan connector and some uh some spinning blades okay and the one

27
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:10,759
that you could apparently potentially have ended up with looks like this it

28
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:12,800
looks like a big chunk of beige junk and

29
00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:17,840
there's a sticker on the top that looks like an Intel fan okay that's pretty

30
00:02:15,239 --> 00:02:22,879
good and then the CPU okay please note that in a proper Intel demo package

31
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:28,280
there should be a real CPU looking about something like this not a sticker of a

32
00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:35,080
CPU on top of Actually I don't even know what this is this is is like some random

33
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:36,800
thing so just for all the customers out

34
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:41,560
there if you want to recognize if you have a real Intel processor it should

35
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:46,640
come with one of these or one of these all right it should come with a retail

36
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:52,599
box heat sink that looks something like this this or this and it should not come

37
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:58,360
with anything in the box that looks like that thank you for watching Linus Tech

38
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,360
