This is not a new product, but I'm going to be unboxing it anyway because it is a
new product. This is the Intel Core i5 760.
And the i5 is not a new thing, but the 760 is. So, it's kind of half old, half
new. This is a quad core processor, and it does not support hyperthreading, but
it does support turbo boost. So, basically, it's just like the Core
i5750, but a little bit faster. So, the
actual stock clock speed of the Core i5760 is, as we can see here, 2.8 GHz
versus the 2.66 GHz stock frequency of
the i5750. That's pretty much the only difference. It's still got an 8meg
cache. Uh, it's still a Linfield class CPU. So, that means that it fits in LGA
1156. But please note this since it's a
quad core and not a dual core i5 processor, it does not support onboard
graphics. So if you have an H55 chipset motherboard, you won't be able to use
the onboard graphics. It has a three-year warranty. It includes an
Intel cooling solution, which we're just
going to Okay, we're going to look at like that. So it's very thin, very
wussy. With all the Core i5s, especially the quad cores, I really do recommend
getting a decent aftermarket cooler from the likes of Arctic Cooling or Noctua or
one of those other good aftermarket cooler brands. I mean, this will work,
but especially if you're going to be doing any overclocking. And I mean, this
is going to be an overclocking champ because the only real difference between
it and the 750 is that it has a higher multiplier. So, you're going to be able
to take it further with a lower overall base clock. You can see here the CPU has
a bit of a brushed metal look to it. And you know what? This is something that
actually we had a a complaint a little while ago about. You see these 1, two,
three, four spots. And this I don't know if you can see it. You certainly won't
be able to see it in the shadows here. Maybe if I bring this over to the light,
you can see a faint square outline. Can you see that in the camera? No. Uh, I'll
try different angles, but you can see sort of a a line on the heat spreader
like this. if you get it at a certain angle. I don't know. Yeah, I I I'll hope
you are able to see it. But basically, we had someone complain that their CPU
had been opened because it had uh uh this mark on it and it had some thermal
compound residue. Now, my understanding is that Intel actually tests these uh
and that is why they do have the marks on them and they aren't they aren't
pristine when you take them out of the box. So, that was just something I
wanted to mention to our viewers. If you get an Intel CPU that has a little bit
of marking on it, it's not necessarily a problem. On the bottom, there are
1,156 pads where the pins on the CPU socket make contact. And thank you for
checking out my unboxing and first look at the Intel Core i5 760.
