today we're going to be doing an unboxing of the Intel Core i7 2600k now
this is at the time of filming the highest end Intel Core i7 processor on
the LGA 1155 platform so I'm going to tell you what it has going for it in
relation to the other core i7s on the LGA 1155 look look at the thing on the
LGA 1155 socket as soon as I escape over
here to go show you all of the other Intel core i7 products that I have to
unbox before this day is through okay so
here is the 2600k it is a quad core just
like all of the others here now here are the advantages it has over the other
products it has an8m cache okay just
like the other 2600 that is an i7 but the i5s only have a six Meg cache okay
it has turbo mode which all of these processors do they all have turbo boost
but the i3s do not it has hyperthreading
which the i5s do not so both the 2600 K
and the 2600 have hyperthreading and then the 2600k also is unlocked so that
means that you can overclock it as high as possible with a p67 or z68
motherboard using multiplier adjustments to turn up the clock speed and there are
no limits so here I guess they're going to say pretty pretty much everything I
just said it also includes the HD graphics 3000 engine has smart cache
technology integrated memory controller which we know supports dual Channel DDR3
and it has a three-year limited warranty like pretty much every Intel processor
in the last little while so these are the code named Sandy Bridge family of
processors and this one comes clocked at
3.4 GHz by default but that's kind of deceptive because turbo mode which works
on every motherboard will actually turn
up the clock speed of this processor up to four speed bins higher than that that
is up to 3.8
GHz if you are using a single threaded
application pretty cool huh okay so
Inside the Box we find new eco-friendly cardboard packaging from Intel the first
thing we see is a stock heat sink which looks exactly the same as the stock heat
sinks we found on the LGA 1156 family of processors because it is the same it
uses the same mounting hle same fan same heat sink design and ooh a copper slug
in the middle very nice and then once I figure out how on
Earth to open this aha there we go Darth Vader mask style of opening I can dig it
so this is the 2600k itself as I mentioned before this is a fully fledged
Intel sandybridge 1155 chip that means
it has turbo tech turbo turbo boost
technology it has hyperthreading technology it is clocked the highest out
of all of the LGA 1155 Core Series
processors and it is fully unlocked for maximum overclocking now it looks very
similar to an 1156 CPU but the difference is that these Keys here these
notches in the side are positioned differently so that you cannot
accidentally install it in an LGA 1155
motherboard so thank you for checking out my unboxing and overview of the
i72600k and don't forget subscribe to lonus techtips for more unboxings
reviews and other technology videos also
check out on my ncixcom channel the overclocking guide for this particular
CPU and I will try to remember to put in an annotation with the link to that but
if not then someone please leave a comment so people can find it
