00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:08.000
today I'm going to be doing an unboxing of the Intel Core i7

00:00:04.359 --> 00:00:10.360
2600 so I also have in front of me some

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

00:00:14.559 --> 00:00:21.279
1155 socket so this guy right here this

00:00:17.880 --> 00:00:23.279
is the 2600 the 2600 has something kind

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

00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:37.680
on this platform it features hyperthreading turbo boost it has an

00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:40.559
full 8m cache but but it is not quite

00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:44.640
the highest end processor in this series The

00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:47.160
2600k which I've unboxed already has a

00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:53.120
couple of advantages it is unlocked and Unleashed which means it has an unlocked

00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:55.960
multiplier for maximum overclocking and

00:00:53.120 --> 00:01:03.640
the K series processor also features Intel HD graphics 3000 Series versus in

00:00:59.960 --> 00:01:06.200
Intel HD graphics 2000 series now that's

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

00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:18.479
believe it is eight speed bins over the stock 3.4 GHz frequency so that means

00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:21.560
you can go up to 4.2 GHz okay so that's

00:01:18.479 --> 00:01:24.439
not too bad but these kseries chips are

00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:30.880
typically able to reach 4.7 and even higher with only modest aftermarket

00:01:27.320 --> 00:01:34.240
cooling so let's get this one opened up

00:01:30.880 --> 00:01:36.600
it is a 95 watt TDP part well I don't

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

00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:46.360
Intel's road map there is an LGA 2011

00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:50.439
that is unironically or ironically not sure which going to be released in 2011

00:01:48.880 --> 00:01:55.360
so the first thing we find inside is an Intel Core i7 sticker as well as

00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:59.560
installation instructions and a 3year limited warranty the next thing we find

00:01:57.479 --> 00:02:04.640
in the eco-friendly packaging here that is cardboard is a stock cooler now it's

00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:09.479
a very weak stock cooler I would definitely recommend upgrading to uh

00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:12.920
something a little bit more robust and I'll let the cameraman stare at that

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

00:02:15.040 --> 00:02:20.360
a more appropriate heat sink for this

00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:25.400
little chip this right here is the Corsair a70 although I only have one fan

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

00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:34.040
alone is probably more than this entire cooler waves fan and all so you can

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

00:02:36.720 --> 00:02:42.680
quieter etc etc this thing's pretty weak does come with pre-applied thermal

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

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

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

00:02:56.120 --> 00:03:03.120
CPU in its little plastic clam shell looks a little something like that so as

00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:08.640
I mentioned before this is nearly identical to the

00:03:05.760 --> 00:03:13.200
2600k so it's the same clock speed same cache the only performance difference

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

00:03:14.720 --> 00:03:20.760
going to be using on an h67 chipset or a

00:03:17.799 --> 00:03:25.200
z68 chipset not on p67 because it doesn't support onboard graphics and

00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:29.120
then also if you are overclocking so if you're adding a big aftermarket cooler

00:03:26.760 --> 00:03:32.760
and overclocking spring for the extra couple bucks for the K series chip thank

00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:37.400
