00:00:07.399 --> 00:00:16.359
welcome to my unboxing of the Intel Core i7 3960x lg8 2011 extreme Edition

00:00:14.200 --> 00:00:20.840
desktop processor and what you may or may not have noticed at this point in

00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:26.760
time is that this processor does not include a heat sink so like some

00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:32.640
previous processors in the past although it's never been done by Intel this CPU

00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:38.079
assumes from the get-go that you are going to be using aftermarket

00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:41.280
cooling however Intel does have cooling options available they actually have two

00:00:39.680 --> 00:00:46.520
different cooling options available that you can buy separately and that is an

00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:49.280
air cooling heat sink which you can buy okay there you go it's you're pretty

00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:53.280
this pretty much what used to come included with the extreme editions and

00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:56.039
then you can also buy their water cooler which we used in a previous video and is

00:00:54.960 --> 00:01:02.719
installed in the case right now it's going to be kind of hard for me to drag it out so what do we find inside the

00:01:00.239 --> 00:01:05.720
actual box I I mean I have even less of an excuse for doing an unboxing of a

00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:11.280
processor at this point now that there's only a CPU a sticker and a installation

00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:16.640
instructions and three-year warranty booklet

00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:23.560
inside huh look at that sealed with a sticker there we are

00:01:21.119 --> 00:01:26.280
RTO there so it shows you how to install stuff and tells you about how you have a

00:01:24.880 --> 00:01:31.960
three-year warranty tells you about Intel hyperthreading technology and virtualization technology and this has

00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:37.479
pretty much all of the Intel technology because this is the extreme Edition this

00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:41.240
is the cream of the crop and it is

00:01:37.479 --> 00:01:43.240
expensive so an LGA 2011 CPU is very

00:01:41.240 --> 00:01:45.479
large it has

00:01:45.479 --> 00:01:51.759
2,11 pins on the bottom of it and I'm

00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:57.000
just going to show you guys for scale what it looks like next to a couple of

00:01:54.040 --> 00:02:03.280
other CPUs when I get back with said CPUs from the tech tips room while slick

00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:05.920
takes a very close look at really the

00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:12.200
booklet you got to be kidding me okay oh he says he was looking at the CPU all

00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:16.280
right fine okay so this is an LGA 1155

00:02:12.200 --> 00:02:19.080
CPU this is an LGA 1366 CPU and there

00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:25.120
for scale next to them is your LGA 2011 CPU so basically it is a beast and here

00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:27.720
from AMD is their am3 plus socket so you

00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:35.319
can kind of see how that compares as well so it's by far the biggest desktop

00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:40.760
CPU out there in terms of sheer size which obviously equates to Performance

00:02:38.040 --> 00:02:47.360
well doesn't but in this case it does so this is a 3.3 GHz CPU which is capable

00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:49.319
of turboing up to 3.9 GHz so yes turbo

00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:53.519
uh boost technology is on this particular chip it's a six core CPU with

00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:59.120
hyperthreading which means 12 threads just like the previous generation 990x

00:02:56.720 --> 00:03:03.080
on LGA 1366 in fact I believe this is a 990x there you go this is a 990x so this

00:03:01.760 --> 00:03:07.319
is how much bigger and this is how much better it performs than a 990x this is

00:03:05.480 --> 00:03:11.959
based on sandybridge technology it's called sandybridge

00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:13.920
e and what that means is it's basically

00:03:11.959 --> 00:03:20.680
six of these cores instead of four of these cores with four-way quad Channel

00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:24.200
memory support PCI Express 3.0 support

00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:26.480
up to 16x by and 16x for two-way

00:03:24.200 --> 00:03:34.040
Graphics configurations are 1688 for three-way and 8888 for four-way s or

00:03:30.519 --> 00:03:35.640
Crossfire X configurations and it has 15

00:03:34.040 --> 00:03:40.720
Megs of cache compared to the non-extreme Edition CPU which has only

00:03:38.040 --> 00:03:44.360
12 Megs of cash and is clocked lower I think that pretty much covers everything

00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:49.400
there is to say in this CPU unboxing so if you want the mostest performances and

00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:53.040
the largest CPU on the Block then this is the one to get
