1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:09,080 so by popular demand today I will be doing an unboxing of AMD's brand new 2 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:12,880 Phenom 2 Black Edition processor this is 3 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:14,360 the X6 1090t so this is a fenom 2 X6 4 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:19,600 processor that means it's just like a fenom 2 X4 processor except with two 5 00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:25,599 more and that really is it there's six cores in this processor they run at 3.2 6 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:28,279 GHz or and this is new AMD has their new 7 00:00:25,599 --> 00:00:34,399 turbo core technology which allows up to three cores to run at up to 3 point or 8 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:38,440 at not up to at 3.6 GHz so if you're running something like a game that only 9 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:42,680 takes advantage of of one to three threads of your CPU it means that your 10 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:46,920 CPU will actually bump its own clock speed up okay so this is a true six core 11 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:51,440 design with nine Megs of total cash it is Socket am3 with a heat sink and fan 12 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:56,000 so why don't we get this thing open it includes all of AMD's previous 13 00:00:53,719 --> 00:01:00,920 Technologies so it's 64-bit it's got cool and quiet it's got their threeyear 14 00:00:58,239 --> 00:01:05,400 warranty all of that good stuff here's a little bit about AMD vision technology 15 00:01:02,879 --> 00:01:10,400 so they want you to use an AMD processor with obviously an AMD chipset and ATI 16 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:15,360 Ron Graphics to for the best sort of overall platform so let's get this open 17 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:20,159 they're using quite small boxes these days it's 18 00:01:16,759 --> 00:01:22,000 impressive maybe it's uh you know green 19 00:01:20,159 --> 00:01:26,240 or something okay so why don't we start with the accessories that are included 20 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:31,560 first accessory is a heat sink you can see right away this is manufactured by 21 00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:35,200 ABC obviously to AMD specifications this 22 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:38,040 is a heat pipe cooler so it uses a block 23 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:43,280 or rather a flat slab of copper at the bottom and then it is soldered to uh 24 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:47,520 four heat pipes so you can see two come out of each side it uses their stock 25 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:51,759 thermal compound which is applied in a square for you and it has no covering on 26 00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:55,960 it other than the plastic cover that goes over the whole bottom of it it uses 27 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:59,520 a standard sort of fin design with the heat pipes coming up and going through 28 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:06,039 the tops of the fins like I said two on each side side and a 60 mm fan at the 29 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:07,399 top it uses a 4 pin pwm fan power 30 00:02:06,039 --> 00:02:12,640 connector and then you've got your standard AMD Clips obviously you'd have 31 00:02:09,959 --> 00:02:17,840 standard AMD Clips on an AMD processor all right and that is your cooling 32 00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:21,280 solution next we have you can actually tell right off the bat that these six 33 00:02:19,519 --> 00:02:24,400 cores are not going to be putting out a whole lot more heat than the old four 34 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:30,080 cores because they haven't really stepped up the cooling at all so AMD's 35 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:35,080 pulled off an engineering feed here by not shrinking the manufacturing process 36 00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:41,120 not increasing the amount of of heat produced by the CPU but actually putting 37 00:02:37,519 --> 00:02:42,280 50% more cores under the hood very cool 38 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:47,640 I'm going to show you the processor more after though just to tease okay so here 39 00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:51,480 we go we have uh AMD's installation 40 00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:54,720 guide which huh actually still includes 41 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:58,280 installation instructions for socket 42 00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:00,599 754 that is bizarre so it includes 754 43 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:07,239 939 and 940 that's that's all the older series then you've got am2 am2 plus and 44 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:09,519 am3 as well as socket F or 127 now it's 45 00:03:07,239 --> 00:03:15,319 funny that they mention am2 am2 plus and am3 here because like many of AMD's 46 00:03:13,239 --> 00:03:20,480 processors over the last little while AMD has worked really hard on the 47 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:24,159 engineering side to make their new six 48 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:28,159 core CPUs drop in compatible with older 49 00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:31,040 am2 plus and am3 Boards very cool stuff 50 00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:37,200 so the Phenom 2 X6 you can actually drop that into it supports both ddr2 and DDR3 51 00:03:34,879 --> 00:03:41,959 you can drop it into an am2 Plus or an am3 board that you already have with 52 00:03:39,519 --> 00:03:46,760 just a BIOS update obviously AMD recommends their new 800 series chipsets 53 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:51,080 to get the most out of your Phenom 2x6 but it uses the same am3 socket we're 54 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:55,799 familiar with and you can drop it right in so that was pretty much all there is 55 00:03:53,159 --> 00:04:00,680 to say about it it looks like almost any other CPU at this point diffused in 56 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:05,799 Germany and made in Malaysia for this particular guy thank you for checking 57 00:04:02,599 --> 00:04:08,239 out my unboxing of the AMD Phenom 2 58 00:04:05,799 --> 00:04:11,799 X6 no I'm not done yet I can't believe I didn't mention this this is a black 59 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:15,840 edition processor it's got an unlocked multiplier so I've actually got an 60 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:20,280 overclocking guide coming up soon on the AMD fenom 2 X6 and so you can you can 61 00:04:18,280 --> 00:04:25,639 check that out very shortly so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the X6 62 00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:25,639 1090t
