this is an unboxing of the Intel Core i5
0:03
655k this is basically exactly like this
0:07
one except for uh
0:10
220 and also two so two and 200 actually
0:13
they're completely different this is a dual core processor this is a quad core
0:17
processor this one includes a graphics core on the chip this one does not so if
0:22
you're running an h55 motherboard and you want to use the Onboard video you
0:26
will need a core i5 dual core or a core
0:29
I3 but that's not really the topic today the topic today is this unlocked both of
0:34
these CPUs feature unlocked multipliers which means easy overclocking you can
0:38
actually check out my ncixcom full Tech tips episode on overclocking the i7 875k
0:44
and the same rules do apply to the I5 655k now this includes all of Intel's
0:49
key Technologies for the I5 so that's their LGA 1156 processors including
0:54
turbo boost hyperthreading smart cache as well as support for dual Channel DDR3
1:00
memory one thing that it doesn't include that I don't miss is the pathetic
1:04
included heat sink that Intel ships with all of their processors Intel is still
1:09
offering a full three-year retail chip warranty on this despite the fact that
1:13
they do not require you in fact require you not to use a uh a provided Intel
1:20
thermal solution right there it says thermal solution required so that's
1:24
pretty cool cuz this thermal solution is not good for overclocking and this chip
1:28
is designed from the ground up for overclocking unlocked means you can
1:32
adjust the CPU multiplier or the CPU speed with just the push of a button
1:37
that's all you have to do you don't have to worry about any memory ratios any
1:40
base clock adjustments nothing like that you just turn up the multiplier and it
1:43
goes faster that simple included is a in
1:47
installation book including an Intel Inside logo label on the back as well as
1:51
the terms of your three-year limited warranty and then here you're going to
1:54
find something that basically looks like every other LGA 1156 chip on the planet
2:00
it is uh 3.2 GHz and then it'll turbo up
2:03
to actually I don't even know I'm terribly sorry please leave a comment
2:07
under the video so that people will know how much it turbo up to but their dual
2:10
course turbo up pretty good it's probably like four speed bins it doesn't
2:14
really matter anyway because it can turbo up to whatever you want and if you
2:17
check out my tech tips video where I show how to do that then you will also
2:21
know how to make the turbo boost actually turbo up to whatever it is that
2:26
you specify very cool feature so thank you for checking out my unboxing the I5
