so I will be unboxing at this time the intel core i7 quad-core processor i7 930 so this is a replacement for the 920 as you may know if you already watched my unboxing of the OEM 930 which is the exact same chip but not in a box it's just by itself and the unboxing was very uninteresting because you just it was that chip and there was no box okay so why don't we have a look at everything it says about this particular CPU so first of all we have a frequency of 2.8 gigahertz then we have socket LGA 6 1366 the i7 938 Meg's of cache 4.8 qpi transfer frequency ok all of the information about the batch as well as the serial number is right there so why don't we get this show on the road and I can't believe it I still don't have a knife I forgot to get a knife that's ok I'll just I'll just rip the sticker it's all good seem slow going but I'm making it happen here we're putting the sticker step by step step by step trying not to wreck it too much there we go all right so there's another UPC code here not sure what that's for and we'll flip this over and out it comes so the first thing we will find is the installation instructions as well as the three year limited warranty this is a difference between a retail chip and an OEM chip is that a retail chip comes with a three-year warranty whereas an OEM CPU actually I believe it's only a one-year warranty and it should be through the retailer or the system integrator that you buy the CPU from so that means that you do not have any Intel warranty on a om CPU it also includes an Intel Inside logo label see back panel right there just like that's all shiny and nice I really like these Case badge stickers next we will find whoa look at that it's like wow ok that's been um why don't we look at the heatsink first and we'll just kind of sweep that over there okay so the heatsink mm-hmm Wow looks like an 80 mil fan it's a four pin pwm design it's your your bone stock standard intel box cooler for the 1866 socket they haven't really made any changes to speak of it has blades that's been like this and if they're plugged in backwards I guess they would also spin like this okay you have the four push pin design so that means that when you're installing it it should be turned this way that way and then when you want to remove it you turn it in the direction of the arrow and then pop it up okay so that's pretty straightforward on the bottom you'll find a copper slug in the middle not a real slug like a like a copper piece of metal not like oozing thing that goes across and then you will find thermal compound pre-applied it's actually pretty good thermal compound I tested this against I think it was MX one Arctic cooling MX one and they were so close in performance I couldn't believe it but this is good stuff that's on here okay and then you find a CPU which looks just like every other 1366 CPU except for the writing on the top which I'm not sure if you'll actually even be able to read through the camera but you'll try okay so that says i7 930 and then at the bottom of the CPU you will find no markings whatsoever but what you will find is pads so those are the contact pads that make contact with the pins in the CPU in the CPU in the motherboard see pins CPUs used to have pins and that's what makes me say pins when I'm talking about a CPU quite quite frequently but now it's motherboards that have pins and CPUs that have pads whereas before the motherboard had a socket and now it doesn't really I mean it still has a socket like it has like a lever and a little like clamp that goes down but it's more like it's more like a clam going over over a CPU so basically if you wanted a CPU mounting guide it would be like this but on a motherboard thanks for checking out my unboxing
