welcome to my unboxing of the Intel Core i7 39 60 X LGA 2011 extreme edition desktop processor what you may or may not have noticed at this point in time is that this processor does not include a heatsink so like some previous processors in the past although it's never been done by Intel this CPU assumes from the get-go that you are going to be using aftermarket cooling however Intel does have cooling options available they actually have two different cooling options available that you can buy separately and that is an air cooling heatsink which you can buy okay there you go you're pretty that this pretty much what used to come included with the extreme editions and then you can also buy their water cooler which we used in a previous video and is installed in the case right now it's going to be kind of hard for me to drag it out so what do we find inside the actual box I have even less of an excuse for doing an unboxing of a processor at this point now that there's only a CPU a sticker and a installation instructions on three-year warranty booklet inside huh look at that sealed with a sticker there we are right oh there so it shows you how to install stuff and tells you about how you have a three year warranty tell you about Intel hyper-threading technology and virtualization technology and this has pretty much all of the Intel technology because this is the extreme edition this is the cream of the crop and it is expensive so an LGA 2011 CPU is very large it has two thousand zero hundred and eleven pins on the bottom of it and I'm just going to show you guys for scale what it looks like next to a couple of other CPUs when I get back with said CPUs from the tech tips room while slick takes a very close look at really the booklet you've got to be kidding me okay oh he says he was looking at the CPU all right fine okay so this is an LGA 1155 CPU then is an LGA 1366 CPU and therefore scale next to them is your LGA 2011 CPU so basically it is a beast and here from AMD is their am3+ socket so you can kind of see how that compares as well so it's by far the biggest desktop CPU out there in terms of share size which obviously equates to performance well doesn't but in this case it does so this is a 3.3 gigahertz CPU which is capable of turbo Inge up to 3.9 gigahertz so yes turbo boost technology is on this particular chip it's a six core CPU with hyper-threading which means 12 threads just like the previous generation 990 X on LGA 1366 in fact I believe this is a 990 X there you go this is a 990 X so this is how much bigger and this is how much better it performs then a 990 X this is based on Sandy Bridge technology it's called sandy bridge-e SPE and what that means is it's basically six of these cores instead of four of these cores with 4-way quad channel memory support PCI Express 3.0 support up to 16 X by sixteen X 4 to a graphics configurations are 16 8 8 4 3-way and 8 8 8 8 4 4 Way SLI or crossfire X configurations and it has 15 Meg's of cash compared to the non Extreme Edition CPU which has only 12 Meg's of cash and is clocked lower I think that pretty much covers everything that is to say in this CPU unboxing so if you want the mostest performances and the largest CPU on the Block then this is the one to get
