00:00:00.399 --> 00:00:08.080
this is the core i5 2300 so right now of

00:00:04.279 --> 00:00:11.240
the I5 family chips on the new LGA 1155

00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:14.160
platform this one is the sort of value

00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:20.720
option so the I5 2300 I'm going to explain how it Stacks up compared to

00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:23.880
other I5 processors such as the 2500 K

00:00:20.720 --> 00:00:25.920
as well as i7 processors such as the

00:00:23.880 --> 00:00:30.640
2600 and the 2600k Intel's lineup is honestly a

00:00:28.400 --> 00:00:36.960
little confusing so pay close attention for this next little bit here okay so

00:00:34.559 --> 00:00:46.480
this is an LGA 1155 processor that means it works on p67 h67 and z68 motherboards

00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:48.559
okay on h67 it has onboard graphics on

00:00:46.480 --> 00:00:54.840
p67 you can overclock four speed bins above the max

00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:57.520
turbo speed so that should be up oh I'm

00:00:54.840 --> 00:01:01.280
guessing here but I think it's about 3.6 GHz on this particular chip please

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

00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:11.080
am mistaken about that one okay because it is not unlocked the turbo

00:01:08.600 --> 00:01:16.000
overclocking is slightly limited okay so you have that going for it 2300

00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:21.520
indicates the clock speed and also because it is an i5 it does not feature

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

00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:30.000
of eight Megs of cash on the core

00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:36.320
i7s okay so let's do side by side comparison with the 2500k for example

00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:41.040
which is more expensive okay to start

00:01:36.320 --> 00:01:44.520
with so the 2500 K is clocked faster 2.8

00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:45.280
versus 3.3 GHz the 2500 K because it is

00:01:44.520 --> 00:01:50.119
an i5 also has six Megs of cache does not

00:01:49.119 --> 00:01:56.880
feature hyperthreading okay and the I5 2500k

00:01:54.280 --> 00:02:02.640
because it has a k designation is unlocked for maximum overclocking

00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:05.280
whereas the 2300 is actually hard

00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:11.000
limited to only that maximum overclock that Intel specifies you can achieve

00:02:08.119 --> 00:02:15.680
these both use the oh rather sorry because of the K designation it also has

00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:21.200
slightly faster Intel HD graphics built in versus the HD graphics 2000 that is

00:02:19.239 --> 00:02:27.040
built into the 2300 okay I hope that was all clear they

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

00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:35.720
and you Limited here next

00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:37.319
i72600 so neither of these are K

00:02:35.720 --> 00:02:40.680
processors which means they're not overclocking unlocked so you are limited

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

00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:51.440
an i7 besides being clocked higher remember it's a 2600 versus a 2300 that

00:02:49.239 --> 00:02:55.800
means clock speed higher clock speed lower clock speed it has eight Megs of

00:02:53.680 --> 00:03:00.319
cash versus six Megs of cache because this is an i7 it also has hyperthreading

00:02:58.519 --> 00:03:05.959
which gives you four virtual cores to go with your four real cores and that is

00:03:03.519 --> 00:03:11.120
pretty much it because these are neither of them K series processors they both

00:03:08.519 --> 00:03:17.239
have HD graphics 2000 rather than the full-fledged HD graphics 3000 now let's

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

00:03:19.440 --> 00:03:26.599
the fastest CPU on the LGA 1155 platform

00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:28.439
and let's compare these guys so the 2600

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

00:03:31.040 --> 00:03:37.239
number means that indicates clock speed because it's an i7 it has hyperthreading

00:03:35.239 --> 00:03:43.000
as well as an 8 Meg cache versus a six Meg cache on the

00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:45.360
2300 because it is a K series processor

00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:50.599
it has sorry about that guys batteries because it is a K series processor it

00:03:47.480 --> 00:03:53.400
has HD graphics 3000 versus HD graphics

00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:59.239
2000 and it is fully unlocked for maximum overclocking versus this one

00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:02.400
being locked down significantly now bear

00:03:59.239 --> 00:04:05.000
in mind that even though this I5 has

00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:09.760
limited overclocking potential compared to any CPU that does not feature and

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

00:04:13.480 --> 00:04:21.320
this one has it and versus any processor that does not have that feature it can

00:04:18.919 --> 00:04:26.800
still do more overclocking because any chip that does not feature turbo boost

00:04:23.320 --> 00:04:28.400
is completely overclocking locked

00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:34.039
regardless of which platform you are using it on and and finally another

00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:38.240
thing on the h67 chipset you can use the Onboard video on here but not any

00:04:36.520 --> 00:04:41.840
overclocking features although turbo boost will work normally you can't go

00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:48.400
any further than the normal turbo on a p67 or z68 chipset you can do

00:04:45.080 --> 00:04:51.320
overclocking but on p67 the Onboard

00:04:48.400 --> 00:04:51.320
video is

00:04:51.520 --> 00:04:58.440
nonfunctional sorry I know very very confusing um okay we have it heat sink

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

00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:05.680
with a 4 pin pwm hookup we have a little

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

00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:14.440
instructions pay careful attention to those installation instructions they

00:05:12.479 --> 00:05:19.039
could save your life or if not your life then at least your CPU and

00:05:16.520 --> 00:05:26.720
motherboard next we have the Intel Core i5 2300 so it looks just like every

00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:28.600
other uh CPU on the LGA 1155 platform

00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:33.360
and for that matter it also looks like every other CPU on the LGA 1156 platform

00:05:31.880 --> 00:05:38.360
other than the fact that these two notches right here at right there can

00:05:36.039 --> 00:05:43.319
you see that and right there are in a slightly different location versus LGA

00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:47.840
1156 so thank you for checking out my unboxing I really hope it wasn't too

00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:55.000
