 So today on my Linus Tech Tips unboxing we will be unboxing the AMD Phenom 2 X4 965 So this is a 3.4 gigahertz processor. This is AMD'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 your stepping this is a CACYC or 0932 CPMW if anyone cared 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 there goes my phone. I already told it. I'm busy You gotta be kidding me no Okay, so inside we will find a CPU heatsink our first will 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 Okay, and then you will also find this thing which is in a million and 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 that's awesome and Read this first Bunch of rules okay, so that's not all that interesting. Let's get to the heatsink So for the heatsink on their highest end black edition processor you will find kind of a wimpy looking 60 mil fan But then actually a fairly beefy For heat pipe cooler with a pre-applied thermal fan 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 know 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 poke in through this side and Then you push the CPU and out it comes so there we have it. That is the phantom 2 x4 965 so let's just take it out so here on the bottom you can see there are 940 pins so that's an am3 socket all am3 CPUs are compatible with DDR 2 or DDR3 board so you can put them in an am2 plus or an am3 board Thank you for checking out my video blog on the phantom 2 x4 965
