1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:10,080
so today on my Linus Tech tips unboxing we will be unboxing the AMD Phenom 2 X4

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:13,440
965 so this is a 3.4 GHz processor this

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:15,280
is AMD's fastest clocked processor ever

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:21,560
and we are going to get started right away pull to open just like that wow

5
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:24,760
how's that for an unboxing experience so we're going to dump this thing oh cool

6
00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:27,720
you can actually see the CPU through a little window here I hadn't actually

7
00:00:26,279 --> 00:00:34,320
noticed that before so you can see you're stepping this is a CAC y c or

8
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:35,600
0932 CPM W if anyone cared to know about

9
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,680
that sort of thing some people think that from knowing the stepping you can

10
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:42,840
determine how well the chip will overclock and there goes my phone I

11
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:48,879
already told it I'm busy you got to be kidding me

12
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:50,840
no okay so inside we will find a CPU

13
00:00:48,879 --> 00:00:54,920
heat sink or first we'll find a certificate of authenticity so here's

14
00:00:52,960 --> 00:01:00,120
your serial number which you will need if you have to do any sort of warranty

15
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:03,920
claim through AMD and this is an enor

16
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:07,479
ormous document holy smoke so in here

17
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:10,159
you will find a Phenom 2 sticker okay

18
00:01:07,479 --> 00:01:15,799
and then you will also find this thing which is in a million in one languages

19
00:01:12,759 --> 00:01:18,799
and is about the size of a wall poster

20
00:01:15,799 --> 00:01:22,240
okay and it tells you how to install

21
00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:25,000
your CPU how to identify your socket

22
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:31,040
going all the way back to socket 754 that's awesome and uh read this

23
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:35,040
first a bunch of rules okay so that's not all that interesting let's get to

24
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:39,360
the heat sink so for the heat sink on their highest end Black Edition

25
00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:45,719
processor you will find kind of a Wimpy looking 60 mil fan but then actually a

26
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:48,719
fairly beefy four heat pipe cooler with

27
00:01:45,719 --> 00:01:51,079
a pre applied thermal fan uh thermal fan

28
00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:56,920
thermal pad so let's have a look at some different angles here this is a four pin

29
00:01:54,320 --> 00:02:01,320
pwm fan so that means that it can be adjusted using pwm technology so that's

30
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:06,000
pretty cool you could no you could probably Swap this out for something else if you wanted using the little

31
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:10,239
Clips here just pull those back and take it off that's pretty good okay so then

32
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:15,000
let's get to the CPU itself so here's how you get that out I guess okay you

33
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:21,160
poke in through this side and then you push the CPU and out it comes so there

34
00:02:17,959 --> 00:02:24,000
we have it that is the Phenom 2x4

35
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:29,280
965 so let's just take it out so here on the bottom you can see there are 940

36
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:32,920
pins so that's an am3 socket all am3

37
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:35,400
CPUs are compatible with ddr2 or DDR3

38
00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:42,879
board so you can put them in an am2 Plus or an am3 board thank you for checking

39
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:42,879
out my video blog on the Phenom 2x4 965
