00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.359
today's unboxing will be a relatively simple one probably one that I should

00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:13.240
have done long ago but I just haven't really gotten around to it this is the

00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:15.639
Intel core I3 2100 it is a dual core oo

00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:19.920
there you go dual core hyperthreading processor it's clocked at 3.1 GHz which

00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:24.840
is pretty darn good considering the price point and the reason that I'm

00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:29.640
unboxing it today let me just grab my knife here the reason I'm unboxing it

00:00:26.840 --> 00:00:35.520
today is that I needed one because for my coming good enough gaming guide I

00:00:31.759 --> 00:00:38.600
will be using this processor to as the

00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:41.800
backbone of my good enough gaming PC

00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:44.399
now a lot of people asked me why did you

00:00:41.800 --> 00:00:48.760
go with the I3 2100 when I did my initial video where I showed the entire

00:00:47.160 --> 00:00:54.559
specifications of the rig that I'd be using for good enough gaming and my

00:00:50.879 --> 00:00:56.800
answer is that dual core is still going

00:00:54.559 --> 00:01:03.480
to perform the best in most games that are on the market right now at the price

00:00:59.559 --> 00:01:05.159
point it delivers a killer value and

00:01:03.480 --> 00:01:11.000
yeah I don't think I really have to just justify myself beyond that it's a it's a

00:01:07.720 --> 00:01:12.759
pretty pretty uh impressive little chip

00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:16.759
so that's pretty much everything oh yeah it's got three Megs of cache which you

00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:20.680
can see here it has a 65 watt TDP which means a lower uh low power consumption

00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:26.200
compared to some of the more high-end chips uh in Intel's own lineup Here We

00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:30.400
Go hyperthreading technology HD graphics 2000 so that is the lower end of the

00:01:27.880 --> 00:01:35.360
Sandy Bridge onboard graphics integrated memory controller no turbo boost please

00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:40.880
do note that you guys there is no turbo boost on this particular

00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:44.520
processor although hyperthreading is present as I mentioned before so that

00:01:42.520 --> 00:01:51.399
means you'll have two physical cores four active threads here is the

00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:53.000
integrated box Intel cooler which sucks

00:01:51.399 --> 00:01:58.479
but it's going to be more than adequate for a dual core 65 watt chip like this

00:01:55.960 --> 00:02:01.719
however if you were okay see this is something I would normally say I was I

00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:06.719
would normally say if you're going to be doing any overclocking then you're going to want a better thermal solution but

00:02:04.479 --> 00:02:11.160
you will not be doing any overclocking the I3 2100 is not overclocking ready

00:02:09.119 --> 00:02:15.599
even if you put it on a p67 chipset board you will not be able to overclock

00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:20.800
this chip more than about a couple percent so bear that in

00:02:18.720 --> 00:02:26.480
mind guys this is a clock lock chip you cannot increase the multiplier and on

00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:29.200
the p67 and while h67 and h61 platforms

00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:33.239
you cannot increase the multiplier on or you cannot really increase the base

00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:36.120
clock so it comes with the sticker 3year warranty guide well it's not really a

00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:41.159
guide but threeyear warranty documentation and then in the environmentally friendly cardboard

00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:47.360
packaging you will find acpu it looks just like this it is

00:02:44.720 --> 00:02:53.920
for the LGA 1155 platform which means it fits in a socket with

00:02:50.959 --> 00:02:58.000
1,155 pins let's go ahead and take that out have a look at it so you can see the

00:02:55.760 --> 00:03:03.360
heat spreader has kind of a brushed Metal finish to it which is pretty

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:05.519
typical for the last I don't know 100

00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:09.840
billion years that that's this is what a processor has pretty much looked like if

00:03:07.920 --> 00:03:13.959
we go back as far as even the Northwood chips they kind of look like this all

00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:19.560
right there's all your pins on the bottom this is not backwards compatible

00:03:16.440 --> 00:03:21.720
with LGA 1156 as I've mentioned numerous

00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:26.879
times in my previous videos so don't try and jam it in an 1156 socket you will

00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:29.840
damage the processor motherboard or both so thank you for checking out this

00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:35.760
unboxing and stay tuned for my good enough gaming PC where I Target $600 to

00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:38.080
build a decent gaming machine and then what I'm going to do is I'm going to

00:03:36.640 --> 00:03:42.439
compare it against the system you can get for just over $11,000 to find out

00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:46.640
how close to that performance we can get on a budget thanks for checking out this
