WEBVTT 00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:07.200 So, the cameraman suggested that I unbox these two processors together because 00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:14.160 they're very similar, but I said no. This is going to be the unboxing of the 00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:17.119 Intel Core i7 875K LG 1156 processor. 00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:21.039 This is, as I mentioned in my NCX tech tips episode about overclocking this 00:00:19.279 --> 00:00:27.840 chip, one of the coolest things out of Intel in probably forever. This thing is 00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:30.080 so sweet because it is unlocked. Now, 00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:34.559 unlike AMD, Intel hasn't really figured out the performance cool looking box. 00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:38.160 They've still got their standard blue and gray box, but that's their corporate 00:00:36.480 --> 00:00:41.760 colors. No, no, there are scissors here. Cameraman's trying to hand me a pen to 00:00:39.680 --> 00:00:45.120 open the box, but I had a plan already. I was I was checking over there for the 00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:48.879 scissors actually while I was doing the introduction for this video. So, okay, 00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:53.120 here we have a look at what it features. So, Intel Turbo Boost technology, Intel 00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:58.640 hyperthreading technology, smart cache, integrated memory controller, dual 00:00:54.960 --> 00:01:00.399 channel DDR3, LG 1156 socket, and this 00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:04.879 this is a new one. I haven't seen this on a retail chip from Intel except their 00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:09.760 mobile processors. Thermal solution required. This tiny box does not include 00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:13.520 a heat sink. You have to get your own heat sink. Oh, graphics card required. 00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:18.080 That's a cryptic thing for them to put on the uh side of the processor box, but 00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:23.920 I guess their their dual cores do include a graphics core if you have an 00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:25.840 H55 board. Okay, fine. Touche, Intel. 00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:29.200 Touche. So, let's see what we've got included here. We got a regular Core i7 00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:33.439 badge. I wouldn't have minded seeing like an unlocked edition or something on 00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:36.880 there, but it is what it is. Three-year limited warranty. Now, this is a cool 00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:42.079 one, too, because it used to be you had to use a standard Intel OEM heat sink in 00:01:39.759 --> 00:01:45.840 order to even qualify for their 3-year warranty on a retail chip. Now, you 00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:51.360 don't because they're requiring you to use a different one. Um, yeah, a little 00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:56.640 bit more on Intel not including a uh a heat sink. This is the standard LG 1156 00:01:54.479 --> 00:02:01.680 heat sink. This thing sucks. This thing is designed for overclocking, and this 00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:06.560 is not good for overclocking. So, as far as I'm concerned, you're not losing out 00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:11.520 on anything by them not including this thing because you just throw it away 00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:14.720 anyway. So, here is the CPU itself. 00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:16.879 Okay, it is a quad core. It runs at 2.93 00:02:14.720 --> 00:02:20.959 GHz. It has 8 megs of cache. And I'm going to go ahead and take it out here. 00:02:18.480 --> 00:02:24.800 Other than the fact that Intel's worked their magic special sauce into the 00:02:22.959 --> 00:02:28.400 inside to make it unlocked, which means you can adjust the multiplier up and 00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:33.680 down, you do not have to adjust the base clock in order to overclock this chip. 00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:36.080 It is the same as the i7870. 00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:40.160 So, it has 1,156 pads on the bottom and it has turbo 00:02:38.239 --> 00:02:44.080 boost and all that good stuff. Now, the one really, really cool thing about this 00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:47.920 besides just regular overclocking, unlocked overclocking, which we've had 00:02:45.920 --> 00:02:52.000 on AMD Black Editions as well as Intel Extreme Editions for quite some time is 00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:56.400 the fact that you can overclock using turbo boost. And you should check out my 00:02:53.519 --> 00:02:59.519 my uh video on my NCIXCOM channel to show you exactly how to do that. So, 00:02:58.160 --> 00:03:02.760 thank you for checking out my unboxing of the i7875K.
