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

00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:13.440
965 so this is a 3.4 GHz processor this

00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:15.280
is AMD's fastest clocked processor ever

00:00:13.440 --> 00:00:21.560
and we are going to get started right away pull to open just like that wow

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

00:00:23.080 --> 00:00:27.720
you can actually see the CPU through a little window here I hadn't actually

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

00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:35.600
0932 CPM W if anyone cared to know about

00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:38.680
that sort of thing some people think that from knowing the stepping you can

00:00:37.360 --> 00:00:42.840
determine how well the chip will overclock and there goes my phone I

00:00:40.480 --> 00:00:48.879
already told it I'm busy you got to be kidding me

00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:50.840
no okay so inside we will find a CPU

00:00:48.879 --> 00:00:54.920
heat sink or first we'll find a certificate of authenticity so here's

00:00:52.960 --> 00:01:00.120
your serial number which you will need if you have to do any sort of warranty

00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:03.920
claim through AMD and this is an enor

00:01:00.120 --> 00:01:07.479
ormous document holy smoke so in here

00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:10.159
you will find a Phenom 2 sticker okay

00:01:07.479 --> 00:01:15.799
and then you will also find this thing which is in a million in one languages

00:01:12.759 --> 00:01:18.799
and is about the size of a wall poster

00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:22.240
okay and it tells you how to install

00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:25.000
your CPU how to identify your socket

00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:31.040
going all the way back to socket 754 that's awesome and uh read this

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

00:01:32.360 --> 00:01:39.360
the heat sink so for the heat sink on their highest end Black Edition

00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:45.719
processor you will find kind of a Wimpy looking 60 mil fan but then actually a

00:01:42.240 --> 00:01:48.719
fairly beefy four heat pipe cooler with

00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:51.079
a pre applied thermal fan uh thermal fan

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

00:01:54.320 --> 00:02:01.320
pwm fan so that means that it can be adjusted using pwm technology so that's

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

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

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

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

00:02:17.959 --> 00:02:24.000
we have it that is the Phenom 2x4

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

00:02:26.160 --> 00:02:32.920
pins so that's an am3 socket all am3

00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:35.400
CPUs are compatible with ddr2 or DDR3

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

00:02:37.480 --> 00:02:42.879
out my video blog on the Phenom 2x4 965
