1
00:00:00,399 --> 00:00:08,080
this is the core i5 2300 so right now of

2
00:00:04,279 --> 00:00:11,240
the I5 family chips on the new LGA 1155

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:14,160
platform this one is the sort of value

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:20,720
option so the I5 2300 I'm going to explain how it Stacks up compared to

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:23,880
other I5 processors such as the 2500 K

6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:25,920
as well as i7 processors such as the

7
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:30,640
2600 and the 2600k Intel's lineup is honestly a

8
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:36,960
little confusing so pay close attention for this next little bit here okay so

9
00:00:34,559 --> 00:00:46,480
this is an LGA 1155 processor that means it works on p67 h67 and z68 motherboards

10
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:48,559
okay on h67 it has onboard graphics on

11
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:54,840
p67 you can overclock four speed bins above the max

12
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:57,520
turbo speed so that should be up oh I'm

13
00:00:54,840 --> 00:01:01,280
guessing here but I think it's about 3.6 GHz on this particular chip please

14
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:06,640
correct me if I'm wrong in the comments and guys thumbs up on that comment if I

15
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:11,080
am mistaken about that one okay because it is not unlocked the turbo

16
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:16,000
overclocking is slightly limited okay so you have that going for it 2300

17
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:21,520
indicates the clock speed and also because it is an i5 it does not feature

18
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:27,360
hyperthreading or the extra two Megs of cash for a total of six Megs for a total

19
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:30,000
of eight Megs of cash on the core

20
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:36,320
i7s okay so let's do side by side comparison with the 2500k for example

21
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:41,040
which is more expensive okay to start

22
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:44,520
with so the 2500 K is clocked faster 2.8

23
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,280
versus 3.3 GHz the 2500 K because it is

24
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:50,119
an i5 also has six Megs of cache does not

25
00:01:49,119 --> 00:01:56,880
feature hyperthreading okay and the I5 2500k

26
00:01:54,280 --> 00:02:02,640
because it has a k designation is unlocked for maximum overclocking

27
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:05,280
whereas the 2300 is actually hard

28
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:11,000
limited to only that maximum overclock that Intel specifies you can achieve

29
00:02:08,119 --> 00:02:15,680
these both use the oh rather sorry because of the K designation it also has

30
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:21,200
slightly faster Intel HD graphics built in versus the HD graphics 2000 that is

31
00:02:19,239 --> 00:02:27,040
built into the 2300 okay I hope that was all clear they

32
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:32,319
both have turbo boost and uh so yeah turbo boost goes as far as you want here

33
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:35,720
and you Limited here next

34
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:37,319
i72600 so neither of these are K

35
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:40,680
processors which means they're not overclocking unlocked so you are limited

36
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:46,159
you can do a little bit of overclocking but not to the max because this one is

37
00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:51,440
an i7 besides being clocked higher remember it's a 2600 versus a 2300 that

38
00:02:49,239 --> 00:02:55,800
means clock speed higher clock speed lower clock speed it has eight Megs of

39
00:02:53,680 --> 00:03:00,319
cash versus six Megs of cache because this is an i7 it also has hyperthreading

40
00:02:58,519 --> 00:03:05,959
which gives you four virtual cores to go with your four real cores and that is

41
00:03:03,519 --> 00:03:11,120
pretty much it because these are neither of them K series processors they both

42
00:03:08,519 --> 00:03:17,239
have HD graphics 2000 rather than the full-fledged HD graphics 3000 now let's

43
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:23,599
get to the ruler of the roost the i7 2600 K which at the time of filming is

44
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:26,599
the fastest CPU on the LGA 1155 platform

45
00:03:23,599 --> 00:03:28,439
and let's compare these guys so the 2600

46
00:03:26,599 --> 00:03:33,239
K is clocked at the same clock speed as the 2600 non K because that's what that

47
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:37,239
number means that indicates clock speed because it's an i7 it has hyperthreading

48
00:03:35,239 --> 00:03:43,000
as well as an 8 Meg cache versus a six Meg cache on the

49
00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:45,360
2300 because it is a K series processor

50
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:50,599
it has sorry about that guys batteries because it is a K series processor it

51
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:53,400
has HD graphics 3000 versus HD graphics

52
00:03:50,599 --> 00:03:59,239
2000 and it is fully unlocked for maximum overclocking versus this one

53
00:03:55,599 --> 00:04:02,400
being locked down significantly now bear

54
00:03:59,239 --> 00:04:05,000
in mind that even though this I5 has

55
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:09,760
limited overclocking potential compared to any CPU that does not feature and

56
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:16,239
I'll show you guys where it says on the box Intel turbo boost technology 2.0 so

57
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:21,320
this one has it and versus any processor that does not have that feature it can

58
00:04:18,919 --> 00:04:26,800
still do more overclocking because any chip that does not feature turbo boost

59
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:28,400
is completely overclocking locked

60
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:34,039
regardless of which platform you are using it on and and finally another

61
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:38,240
thing on the h67 chipset you can use the Onboard video on here but not any

62
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:41,840
overclocking features although turbo boost will work normally you can't go

63
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:48,400
any further than the normal turbo on a p67 or z68 chipset you can do

64
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:51,320
overclocking but on p67 the Onboard

65
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,320
video is

66
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:58,440
nonfunctional sorry I know very very confusing um okay we have it heat sink

67
00:04:56,639 --> 00:05:04,560
it has a copper Slug It has pre-applied thermal compound and it has 80 mm fan

68
00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:05,680
with a 4 pin pwm hookup we have a little

69
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:11,199
thing here that says you have a three-year warranty it has an Intel Inside logo and it has installation

70
00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:14,440
instructions pay careful attention to those installation instructions they

71
00:05:12,479 --> 00:05:19,039
could save your life or if not your life then at least your CPU and

72
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:26,720
motherboard next we have the Intel Core i5 2300 so it looks just like every

73
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:28,600
other uh CPU on the LGA 1155 platform

74
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:33,360
and for that matter it also looks like every other CPU on the LGA 1156 platform

75
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:38,360
other than the fact that these two notches right here at right there can

76
00:05:36,039 --> 00:05:43,319
you see that and right there are in a slightly different location versus LGA

77
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:47,840
1156 so thank you for checking out my unboxing I really hope it wasn't too
