WEBVTT 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:09.080 so by popular demand today I will be doing an unboxing of AMD's brand new 00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:12.880 Phenom 2 Black Edition processor this is 00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:14.360 the X6 1090t so this is a fenom 2 X6 00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:19.600 processor that means it's just like a fenom 2 X4 processor except with two 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 00:00:21.880 --> 00:00:28.279 GHz or and this is new AMD has their new 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 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 00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:42.680 takes advantage of of one to three threads of your CPU it means that your 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 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 00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:56.000 so why don't we get this thing open it includes all of AMD's previous 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 00:00:58.239 --> 00:01:05.400 warranty all of that good stuff here's a little bit about AMD vision technology 00:01:02.879 --> 00:01:10.400 so they want you to use an AMD processor with obviously an AMD chipset and ATI 00:01:07.880 --> 00:01:15.360 Ron Graphics to for the best sort of overall platform so let's get this open 00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:20.159 they're using quite small boxes these days it's 00:01:16.759 --> 00:01:22.000 impressive maybe it's uh you know green 00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:26.240 or something okay so why don't we start with the accessories that are included 00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:31.560 first accessory is a heat sink you can see right away this is manufactured by 00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:35.200 ABC obviously to AMD specifications this 00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:38.040 is a heat pipe cooler so it uses a block 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 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 00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:51.759 thermal compound which is applied in a square for you and it has no covering on 00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:55.960 it other than the plastic cover that goes over the whole bottom of it it uses 00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:59.520 a standard sort of fin design with the heat pipes coming up and going through 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 00:02:02.520 --> 00:02:07.399 top it uses a 4 pin pwm fan power 00:02:06.039 --> 00:02:12.640 connector and then you've got your standard AMD Clips obviously you'd have 00:02:09.959 --> 00:02:17.840 standard AMD Clips on an AMD processor all right and that is your cooling 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:21.280 solution next we have you can actually tell right off the bat that these six 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 00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:30.080 cores because they haven't really stepped up the cooling at all so AMD's 00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:35.080 pulled off an engineering feed here by not shrinking the manufacturing process 00:02:32.640 --> 00:02:41.120 not increasing the amount of of heat produced by the CPU but actually putting 00:02:37.519 --> 00:02:42.280 50% more cores under the hood very cool 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 00:02:44.640 --> 00:02:51.480 we go we have uh AMD's installation 00:02:47.640 --> 00:02:54.720 guide which huh actually still includes 00:02:51.480 --> 00:02:58.280 installation instructions for socket 00:02:54.720 --> 00:03:00.599 754 that is bizarre so it includes 754 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 00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:09.519 am3 as well as socket F or 127 now it's 00:03:07.239 --> 00:03:15.319 funny that they mention am2 am2 plus and am3 here because like many of AMD's 00:03:13.239 --> 00:03:20.480 processors over the last little while AMD has worked really hard on the 00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:24.159 engineering side to make their new six 00:03:20.480 --> 00:03:28.159 core CPUs drop in compatible with older 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:31.040 am2 plus and am3 Boards very cool stuff 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 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 00:03:39.519 --> 00:03:46.760 just a BIOS update obviously AMD recommends their new 800 series chipsets 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 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 00:03:53.159 --> 00:04:00.680 to say about it it looks like almost any other CPU at this point diffused in 00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:05.799 Germany and made in Malaysia for this particular guy thank you for checking 00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:08.239 out my unboxing of the AMD Phenom 2 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 00:04:09.480 --> 00:04:15.840 edition processor it's got an unlocked multiplier so I've actually got an 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 00:04:18.280 --> 00:04:25.639 check that out very shortly so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the X6 00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:25.639 1090t
