00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:08,000
today I'm going to be doing an unboxing of the Intel Core i7

2
00:00:04,359 --> 00:00:10,360
2600 so I also have in front of me some

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:17,880
of the other members of the new updated Core i5 and core i7 family on the LGA

4
00:00:14,559 --> 00:00:21,279
1155 socket so this guy right here this

5
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:23,279
is the 2600 the 2600 has something kind

6
00:00:21,279 --> 00:00:28,960
of unique about it and that is that it is the highest clocked Intel Core i7 CPU

7
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:37,680
on this platform it features hyperthreading turbo boost it has an

8
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:40,559
full 8m cache but but it is not quite

9
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:44,640
the highest end processor in this series The

10
00:00:41,399 --> 00:00:47,160
2600k which I've unboxed already has a

11
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:53,120
couple of advantages it is unlocked and Unleashed which means it has an unlocked

12
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:55,960
multiplier for maximum overclocking and

13
00:00:53,120 --> 00:01:03,640
the K series processor also features Intel HD graphics 3000 Series versus in

14
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:06,200
Intel HD graphics 2000 series now that's

15
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:11,240
not to say the 2600 can't be overclocked at all you can overclock it up to I

16
00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:18,479
believe it is eight speed bins over the stock 3.4 GHz frequency so that means

17
00:01:14,799 --> 00:01:21,560
you can go up to 4.2 GHz okay so that's

18
00:01:18,479 --> 00:01:24,439
not too bad but these kseries chips are

19
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:30,880
typically able to reach 4.7 and even higher with only modest aftermarket

20
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:34,240
cooling so let's get this one opened up

21
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:36,600
it is a 95 watt TDP part well I don't

22
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:43,920
think we're going to see any higher TDP Parts on the LGA 1155 socket because on

23
00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:46,360
Intel's road map there is an LGA 2011

24
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:50,439
that is unironically or ironically not sure which going to be released in 2011

25
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:55,360
so the first thing we find inside is an Intel Core i7 sticker as well as

26
00:01:53,159 --> 00:01:59,560
installation instructions and a 3year limited warranty the next thing we find

27
00:01:57,479 --> 00:02:04,640
in the eco-friendly packaging here that is cardboard is a stock cooler now it's

28
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:09,479
a very weak stock cooler I would definitely recommend upgrading to uh

29
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:12,920
something a little bit more robust and I'll let the cameraman stare at that

30
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:18,080
cooler and show you guys that while I go and grab something that I think would be

31
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:20,360
a more appropriate heat sink for this

32
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:25,400
little chip this right here is the Corsair a70 although I only have one fan

33
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:30,680
on it and this is definitely I mean come on this the the sheer mass in heat pipes

34
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:34,040
alone is probably more than this entire cooler waves fan and all so you can

35
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:39,200
imagine that especially if you're overclocking you're going to be able to dissipate more heat it's going to run

36
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:42,680
quieter etc etc this thing's pretty weak does come with pre-applied thermal

37
00:02:40,599 --> 00:02:48,560
compound and a copper slug in the middle as well as what appears to be a 92 mm no

38
00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:53,200
I think that's an 80 mm pwm controlled fan now let's have a look at the CPU

39
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:58,319
itself now the CPU comes out just like this put on there pull this out and the

40
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:03,120
CPU in its little plastic clam shell looks a little something like that so as

41
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:08,640
I mentioned before this is nearly identical to the

42
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:13,200
2600k so it's the same clock speed same cache the only performance difference

43
00:03:10,879 --> 00:03:17,799
you're going to see on this chip is on the onboard Graphics which you're only

44
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:20,760
going to be using on an h67 chipset or a

45
00:03:17,799 --> 00:03:25,200
z68 chipset not on p67 because it doesn't support onboard graphics and

46
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:29,120
then also if you are overclocking so if you're adding a big aftermarket cooler

47
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:32,760
and overclocking spring for the extra couple bucks for the K series chip thank

48
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:37,400
