1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:07,520
So today I'll be unboxing a Core i7.

2
00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:09,920
This is an LG 1366 Core i7. So it's the

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:16,400
old Core i7 with three channels for memory and with hyperthreading. Okay, so

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:19,439
it is an i7 975. This is an extreme edition processor. I'm just going to

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:23,760
have a look. Okay, so you got hyperthreading, turbo boost, blah blah

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:27,599
blah, three-year warranty, all that good stuff. You got your standard fair here.

7
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:30,560
So let's break the seal on this baby. Oh, first of all, you got a little

8
00:00:29,199 --> 00:00:35,120
window here where you can actually see the CPU. Um, mine seems to be dislodged

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:38,320
a little bit in there, but we'll we'll get it open and find out why exactly

10
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:43,200
that is. So, we're breaking the factory seal here.

11
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:47,680
And oh, that's a pretty good sticker. There we go. Okay, so let's open this up

12
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:54,480
and find out exactly what we get with the Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition. So,

13
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:59,039
first of all, we get a plastic clam shell. Oh, no. Here we go. There is a

14
00:00:56,719 --> 00:01:02,559
manual. So, here's your manual. This includes your installation instructions,

15
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:08,159
your 3-year limited warranty information, as well as an Intel inside

16
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:11,840
logo label on the back panel. So, here's all your in installation instructions,

17
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:15,920
all that good stuff, all your warranty info. And there is your Core i7 Extreme

18
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:19,520
sticker that you can put on your case because, yeah, that's an expensive

19
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:27,840
sticker and you're going to want to show it off. Next thing is the Core i7

20
00:01:23,759 --> 00:01:30,080
Extreme itself. So this is a 975.

21
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:34,320
So that means it is a D0 stepping processor. All of the 975s are. You can

22
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:40,159
see that on the bottom of the chip itself, you've got 1,366

23
00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:45,920
pads that make contact with the pins on your X58 motherboard because X58 is the

24
00:01:43,119 --> 00:01:55,200
only chipset that supports these Extreme Edition chips at this time. And then we

25
00:01:48,799 --> 00:01:57,040
also have a Core i R7 Extreme 1366 CPU

26
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:01,360
heat sink. So, it's a little bit different from the standard one in that

27
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:06,399
instead of being just an aluminum flower heat sink, it's actually an aluminum and

28
00:02:03,759 --> 00:02:11,440
copper one, it has a blue LED fan on the top. It's a four pin PWM fan header. And

29
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:17,200
then you've got two different speed settings. So, you can either set it to high or to low depending on how much

30
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:21,120
noise and how much cooling you want to get out of it. That said, if you're

31
00:02:18,959 --> 00:02:24,800
buying an extreme edition processor, you should probably be buying an aftermarket

32
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:28,720
cooler so you can get the most out of it anyway because the best thing about an

33
00:02:26,879 --> 00:02:31,920
extreme edition is the unlocked multiplier which makes for better,

34
00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:38,080
easier overclocking. Thank you for checking out my video blog unboxing the

35
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,080
Core i7 Extreme 975.
