00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:07.520
So today I'll be unboxing a Core i7.

00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:09.920
This is an LG 1366 Core i7. So it's the

00:00:07.520 --> 00:00:16.400
old Core i7 with three channels for memory and with hyperthreading. Okay, so

00:00:13.840 --> 00:00:19.439
it is an i7 975. This is an extreme edition processor. I'm just going to

00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:23.760
have a look. Okay, so you got hyperthreading, turbo boost, blah blah

00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:27.599
blah, three-year warranty, all that good stuff. You got your standard fair here.

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

00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:35.120
window here where you can actually see the CPU. Um, mine seems to be dislodged

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

00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:43.200
that is. So, we're breaking the factory seal here.

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

00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:54.480
and find out exactly what we get with the Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition. So,

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

00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:02.559
manual. So, here's your manual. This includes your installation instructions,

00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:08.159
your 3-year limited warranty information, as well as an Intel inside

00:01:05.600 --> 00:01:11.840
logo label on the back panel. So, here's all your in installation instructions,

00:01:10.240 --> 00:01:15.920
all that good stuff, all your warranty info. And there is your Core i7 Extreme

00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:19.520
sticker that you can put on your case because, yeah, that's an expensive

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

00:01:23.759 --> 00:01:30.080
Extreme itself. So this is a 975.

00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:34.320
So that means it is a D0 stepping processor. All of the 975s are. You can

00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:40.159
see that on the bottom of the chip itself, you've got 1,366

00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:45.920
pads that make contact with the pins on your X58 motherboard because X58 is the

00:01:43.119 --> 00:01:55.200
only chipset that supports these Extreme Edition chips at this time. And then we

00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:57.040
also have a Core i R7 Extreme 1366 CPU

00:01:55.200 --> 00:02:01.360
heat sink. So, it's a little bit different from the standard one in that

00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:06.399
instead of being just an aluminum flower heat sink, it's actually an aluminum and

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

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

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

00:02:18.959 --> 00:02:24.800
buying an extreme edition processor, you should probably be buying an aftermarket

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

00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:31.920
extreme edition is the unlocked multiplier which makes for better,

00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:38.080
easier overclocking. Thank you for checking out my video blog unboxing the

00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:38.080
Core i7 Extreme 975.
