today we're going to be doing an unboxing of the Intel Core i7 2600k now
0:05
this is at the time of filming the highest end Intel Core i7 processor on
0:11
the LGA 1155 platform so I'm going to tell you what it has going for it in
0:16
relation to the other core i7s on the LGA 1155 look look at the thing on the
0:23
LGA 1155 socket as soon as I escape over
0:27
here to go show you all of the other Intel core i7 products that I have to
0:32
unbox before this day is through okay so
0:36
here is the 2600k it is a quad core just
0:39
like all of the others here now here are the advantages it has over the other
0:43
products it has an8m cache okay just
0:46
like the other 2600 that is an i7 but the i5s only have a six Meg cache okay
0:53
it has turbo mode which all of these processors do they all have turbo boost
0:59
but the i3s do not it has hyperthreading
1:04
which the i5s do not so both the 2600 K
1:07
and the 2600 have hyperthreading and then the 2600k also is unlocked so that
1:13
means that you can overclock it as high as possible with a p67 or z68
1:20
motherboard using multiplier adjustments to turn up the clock speed and there are
1:26
no limits so here I guess they're going to say pretty pretty much everything I
1:30
just said it also includes the HD graphics 3000 engine has smart cache
1:35
technology integrated memory controller which we know supports dual Channel DDR3
1:39
and it has a three-year limited warranty like pretty much every Intel processor
1:44
in the last little while so these are the code named Sandy Bridge family of
1:47
processors and this one comes clocked at
1:50
3.4 GHz by default but that's kind of deceptive because turbo mode which works
1:56
on every motherboard will actually turn
2:00
up the clock speed of this processor up to four speed bins higher than that that
2:05
is up to 3.8
2:08
GHz if you are using a single threaded
2:12
application pretty cool huh okay so
2:15
Inside the Box we find new eco-friendly cardboard packaging from Intel the first
2:20
thing we see is a stock heat sink which looks exactly the same as the stock heat
2:25
sinks we found on the LGA 1156 family of processors because it is the same it
2:30
uses the same mounting hle same fan same heat sink design and ooh a copper slug
2:34
in the middle very nice and then once I figure out how on
2:39
Earth to open this aha there we go Darth Vader mask style of opening I can dig it
2:46
so this is the 2600k itself as I mentioned before this is a fully fledged
2:51
Intel sandybridge 1155 chip that means
2:54
it has turbo tech turbo turbo boost
2:57
technology it has hyperthreading technology it is clocked the highest out
3:01
of all of the LGA 1155 Core Series
3:06
processors and it is fully unlocked for maximum overclocking now it looks very
3:11
similar to an 1156 CPU but the difference is that these Keys here these
3:16
notches in the side are positioned differently so that you cannot
3:19
accidentally install it in an LGA 1155
3:23
motherboard so thank you for checking out my unboxing and overview of the
3:28
i72600k and don't forget subscribe to lonus techtips for more unboxings
3:32
reviews and other technology videos also
3:35
check out on my ncixcom channel the overclocking guide for this particular
3:40
CPU and I will try to remember to put in an annotation with the link to that but
3:44
if not then someone please leave a comment so people can find it
