so today I'll be doing a quick unboxing and this is gonna be pretty quick because I already did the core i3 540 but this is the core i3 530 so this one runs at 2.9 3 gigahertz it has hyper-threading but no turbo boost functionality much like the other core i3 processors that are available for a processor the 540 now the core i3 processors what is so unique about them as I did mention in the other unboxing is that they do include an onboard graphics chip so if you use this in conjunction with an H 55 motherboard or H 57 when those are finally available you will be able to take advantage of the onboard graphics including hdmi out DVI out some of them even have DisplayPort out which is kind of cool so the first thing you'll find in the box is your core i3 processor installation instructions your 3or warranty information as well as your stickers shut for some reason as well as your Intel Core i3 case sticker very cool and then the next thing you will find is nothing else in the box this is a plastic clamshell which includes your CPU which we'll have a look at in just a moment as well as an incredibly weak looking CPU cooler I mean it really does speak for one thing to how little heat output that you see from the core i3 processors but if you look that like it's not much thicker than my finger is wide actually here if I hold that up a front there you can get a better perspective on it so there's not a whole lot of metal involved there's no copper core on this cooler it does come with pre applied thermal compound so if you are just buying the chip and you just can use this not cool you just plonk that right on this will spread itself out from the mounting pressure and I really do recommend especially if you're gonna be I'm actually okay if you're overclocking these chips by a different cooler if you're not overclocking them you can use it with this one but it's not going to be the quietest it's not gonna be the coolest etc etc so here's the core i3 530 itself this is the lowest end core i3 as of the time of doing this unboxing but there is a Pentium dual core variant available but I wouldn't really recommend that one because the core i3 is really do offer a great price to performance ratio this is an LGA 1156 chip so you can see there are 1156 ads on the back of this processor which make contact with your motherboard it's supported by all of the age 55 P 55 and age 57 boards like I said when those are available on the market at this time and thank you for checking out my unboxing of the core i3 530
