00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:06.440
so I was doing some shopping online and I came across a thread where people seem

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

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:15.600
like so here's here's the thread on overclockers decom you can see that he

00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:19.720
received an i 7920 and that there appears to be a fan

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

00:00:23.400 --> 00:00:30.480
processor you can see that the box is covered in spelling mistakes right here

00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:35.680
use in a desktop etc etc hyperthreading is not is not

00:00:33.360 --> 00:00:39.480
spelled properly as per the Intel uh trademark okay we keep going okay so why

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

00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:48.239
processor box looks like this is an Intel Core i 3530 please note the lack

00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:52.480
of any spelling mistakes whatsoever there's all the proper information about

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:57.440
the CPU inside all right you can see a CPU through the window please note that

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

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

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

00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:16.680
okay also please note that unlike the picture here where you can see Factory

00:01:13.960 --> 00:01:21.400
sealed is actually printed on the box Factory sealed is actually printed we've

00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:25.200
already broken this seal but you can see it's printed on the sticker itself and

00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:29.400
it comes away in a checker pattern because it's an actual proper security

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:01:56.520 --> 00:02:04.159
a four pin fan connector and some uh some spinning blades okay and the one

00:02:02.360 --> 00:02:10.759
that you could apparently potentially have ended up with looks like this it

00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:12.800
looks like a big chunk of beige junk and

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

00:02:15.239 --> 00:02:22.879
good and then the CPU okay please note that in a proper Intel demo package

00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:28.280
there should be a real CPU looking about something like this not a sticker of a

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

00:02:31.760 --> 00:02:36.800
thing so just for all the customers out

00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:41.560
there if you want to recognize if you have a real Intel processor it should

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

00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:52.599
box heat sink that looks something like this this or this and it should not come

00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:58.360
with anything in the box that looks like that thank you for watching Linus Tech
