today we're going to be doing a quick unboxing the fennan 2x6 1100 T so this is a multi-core processor as you may or may not have figured out by now it is also a phenom 2 as you may or may not have figure out by now this is a Black Edition processor which means that you have full control over the CPU multiplier now that's actually it even means a little bit it means something a little bit different than it even used to because it used to be the Black Edition menu had one multiplier to either turn up or turn down according to your will so it meant ok well you don't have to fuss around with with adjusting the the ratio of the actual bus speed itself you can just turn up the multi there's your overclock turn up the voltage you dot well now with the turbo processor so that is all of the six cores from AMD right now that have a tee at the end of the part number have a feature that allows them to scale up the frequency when you're running three cores or less so this processor although it says 3.3 gigahertz and that's your stock multiplier also runs at 3.7 gigahertz when you're running with three active processing threads or less so you can not only adjust the stock multiplier but you can also adjust the turbo multiplier so you can make it so okay let's say you've decided you know I want die you know what I'm going to leave my stock speed when I'm running like heavily multi-threaded stuff at three point three gigahertz so that I don't get more power consumption or so whatever your reasoning is but I'm going to turn my turbo up to four gigahertz so that when I'm running games for example which only use a few processor cores I can really get the most out of my CPU so that's a cool feature alright here is the processor itself this is an AM 3 processor which means it fits in an am-3 socket as well as a named 2 plus socket and it is fully compatible with ddr3 as well as ddr2 memory so AMD is the only processor main stream processor company these days that is actually still producing chips that are compatible with ddr2 on the high end this is a 6 core processor that you can actually plunk into your old ddr2 board with your ddr2 RAM as long as your board supports it we also get a case badge sticker we get a little warranty certificate of authenticity installation guide thing a full duct to about the size of like a wall poster so I'm not going to open it right now and then we also have an included stock heatsink so their stock heatsink hasn't changed much since the days of socket 939 we've got what appears to be a sixty millimeter fan it is manufactured by AVC it uses a four pin pwm fan header and here's a little tip for you guys if you want it to look tidy or in your case twist it up like this that way instead of being like a total mess when you plug it into your into your fan header and like looking like this you can actually have it just all sort of come together like that and then you can plug it in somewhere and then kind of twist it up like that so it's sort of more uniform anyway it has four heat pipes two of them go one way two of them go the other way you've got a pre applied thermal pad and the thermal pad that comes on stock heat sinks from actually both major CPU companies these days are pretty darn good so you don't really need to replace it unless you really want to and your standard AMD mounting mechanism thank you for checking out my unboxing of the phantom 2 x6 1100 T also don't forget to check out my build guide featuring this processor in AMD's best of the best machine which happens to be sitting over in that room right now you can sort of see it anyway check it out on my NCIX comm channel as well as my my vision system overview where I show some benchmarks from this particular processor against its competition don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips and thank you for watching
