so today on my Linus tech tips unboxing we will be unboxing the AMD phenom ii x4 965 so this is a 3.4 gigahertz processor this is andy's fastest clocked processor ever and we are going to get started right away pull to open just like that Wow how's that for an unboxing experience so we're gonna dump this thing oh cool you can actually see the CPU through a little window here I hadn't actually noticed that before so you can see you're stepping this is a CAC YC r o9 3 to CP MW if anyone care to know about that sort of thing some people think that from knowing the stepping you can determine how well the chip will overclock and that goes my phone I already told it I'm busy you gotta be kidding me no ok so inside we will find a cpu heatsink our first we'll find a certificate of authenticity so here's your serial number which you will need if you have to do any sort of warranty claim through AMD and this is an enormous document Holy Smoke so in here you will find a phenom 2 sticker ok and then you will also find this thing which is in a million-in-one languages and is about the size of a wall poster okay and it tells you how to install your cpu how to identify your socket going all the way back to socket 754 us awesome and read this first did it did it did it to do a bunch of rules ok so that's not all that interesting let's get to the heatsink so for the heatsink on there highest end Black Edition processor you will find kind of a Wimpy look in 60ml fan but then actually a fairly beefy for heat pipe cooler with a pre apa' applied thermal FET thermal fan thermal pad so let's have a look at some different angles here this is a four pin PWM fan so that means that it can be adjusted using PWM technology so that's pretty cool you could now you could probably swap this out for something else if you wanted using the little clips here just pull those back and take it off that's pretty good okay so then let's get to the CPU itself so here's how you get that out I guess okay you poked in through this side and then you push the CPU and out it comes so there we have it that is the Phantom 2x4 nine six five so let's just take it out right here on the bottom you can see there are 940 pins so that's an am-3 socket all am-3 CPUs are compatible with ddr2 or ddr3 boards so you can put them in an AM 2 plus or an AM 3 board thank you for checking out my video blog on the phenom ii x4 965
