Intel Core i5 750 Quad Core LGA1156 Processor Unboxing Linus Tech Tips

[NitroNoobz]

why are u unboxing in a park?

[Esbanez]

Is there a specific version for laptops? Cus theres no way that fan is fitting in a laptop along with the chip :P

[ronniereiff]

AMD Heat sinks are much better

[speedyheco]

[make366]

i got i3 530 :( its baadd

[HeadouCompany]

@make366 why

[make366]

@HeadouCompany it was dell comp, upgraded to 2500k already

[simranjeet36]

@make366 actually you are wrong the i3 530 is a very good mid range cpu it can run any game very quickly and gets the job done so i don't know what ur saying by that and besides you could have easily upgraded to i5 750 or 760 instead of getting 2500k and having to get new motherboard

[make366]

@simranjeet36 it was dell piece of shit. it didnt allow to change anything 5 years warranty.

i sold it and built 2500k system.

[divine0g0d]

ur hot got a gf?

[iceCOLDkillaxDLoL]

Intel inside-Linus outside :D

[lungchs]

no exlique ingles

[bamblack13]

He drives a Honda. :)

[alanpae81]

stock cooling may look s**t from the outside, but the virtually it cools my cpu 23 degree celcius and i sometimes i play games with it and still it does go above 60 degrees celcius :)

[MajorisGaming]

Best unboxing ever !

[MrWhateveranything]

I couldn't see, but was there any pre-applied thermal paste?

[alanpae81]

@MrWhateveranything yeah it comes with a thermal paste

[Jackx68]

you opened it out side



[Mecha120]

hey when i eventually get this processor, would u recommend this type of aftermarket cooler for it. my intention is to get one that is a low rpm rate but can still cool it down pretty well so that i can have a silent computer.

[Thegodofwar56]

hey, are all CPU's fit in all computers or do u need specific ones, cos i realy want thing badly for everrrr!

[markr1413]

unboxing is an event to behold

[bvestationfan]

if u want a LGA 1156 CPU get a Core i7 875K with the unlocked multiplier

[Str187]

lol the first unboxing i have ever seen which is made outside =)

[MonacoFrost]

stock cooling is good enough for this, even with some slight OC'ing

[Ultramendoza]

The i5 750 runs good without a video card? Please somebody answer.

[Usul573]

@Ultramendoza

No, it needs one.

[selearemus]

@Ultramendoza i recommend buying i5 661 for integrated card

[bvestationfan]

@selearemus yea, but its dual core, and to futureproof yourself, i suggest you get a quad core and spend $80 on a cheap Radeon 5550

[selearemus]

@bvestationfan i got i5-750 and gtx 460.

[bvestationfan]

@Ultramendoza u cant run a PC without some sort of a video card, integrated or a seprate. spend 85 bucks on a Radeon 5550 and youll be good

[Ultramendoza]

@bvestationfan Thanks dude, but now I got the i5 750 with a HD 5770 Vapor-X and I'm amazed with it ;)

[009ijn]

wow man i like such presentation I REALLY APPRECIATE IT LINUS TECH TIPS

[TheAKmatics]

Which Honda car model do you have ?

[spunkmeyer421]

thumbs up if it sounds like he likes getting boned in the butt other than that great videos

[brunobarbosa0904]

How much cust this processor?

[brunobarbosa0904]

This guy is so... let me see... presumptuous.

But God will bless you.

[GOOeysan]

Ur voice is a bit annoying

no offense :)

[TheMadeira2010]

Dude i hate it man it sink weak ! i buy intel core i7 extreme it one top then anyone!!!! £800!!! lol

[Ciukyexacta]

fast, gives a whole over look and his voice isn't BORING like many reviewers = BRILLIANT THANKS!

[Ciukyexacta]

fast, gives a whole over look and his voice isn't BORING like many reviewers = BRILLIANS THANKS!

[hackerreport1]

i love this boy ^^

[Splooshiba]

its only wussy cos the 750 produces such a tiny amount of heat when not overclocked. if you are buying the 750 you should want to overclock it.. but still.. its perfectly reasonable for a stock cooler i think.

[timothytaneweling]

Linus is forever busy =(

[Deluxeta]

Get a i5 750, OC it @ 4Ghz with a Cooler Master V8, "i5" (high five) your computer!

[keiki646]

@Deluxeta good thinking and I already for such thing

[Anton338]

mmmmmmmm almost bought this sucker. Then decided to go with the i7-860 ^.^

[AlBeRt096]

what is faster because im getting a desktop to replace my laptop ??? my laptop is a dell studio 1557 with the intel core i7 720 qm at 1.6 ghz with 4 or 6mb cache 4 gb ddr3 ram 512 mb ati mobility radeon hd 4570 and 320 gb hard drive . my planned new pc.... Dell inspiron 580 Has intel core i5 750 @ 2.66 ghz 8 mb smart cache 4 gb ddr3 1333 mhz ram ati radeon hd 5450 1gb and 1 tb hard drive... which is better at everyday things and light gaming like gta4 v and sims 3 ?

[nashim00]

@AlBeRt096 you desktop will be faster, but for games like gta4 i would advise you to get a better gpu

[Mountaind33w]

Linus, what do you prefer? Intel or AMD?

[RiptorSLO]

best cpu for gaming

[EddieLolz3r]

is this better then a amd x6 1055t

[DaBunnyKiss]

@EddieLolz3r no. the x6 1055t is at the level of a i5 750/i7 920 in games, but that's because the games aren't optimised for 6 cores yet. but in multi-applications and future wise the x6 1055t is way better: it's cheap, it's efficient, and it's gonna be more and more powerful for the incoming games

[groberti]

@DaBunnyKiss lol, most of them is not optimized for quad core CPUs, too :D

[no1Reality]

@EddieLolz3r

no ! look at the benchmarks lol !

[no1Reality]

@EddieLolz3r

bitch !!!!!!

[rutoojinn]

Best Price/Performance processor out now. Only AMD's Phenom II x6 at same price can compare. Recommend to anyone who prefers Intel.

[MRNU979]

@rutoojinn err wouldn't a mid range i3 be better price/performance

[madofmygoddess]

@rutoojinn I've it, I have overclocked to 4.2ghz so I completely agree (noctua nh-d14, don't try 4.2 with bad ventrillo)

[DSTDave]

watch out for muggers on the street LOL

[Draycko]

@DSTDave lol i dont think the mugger would know what he/she was mugging. he would most prolly just steal the producers watch and wallet, leaving the i5 and heatsink alone-- xD. unless he's a supersmart hyper geeky mugger, and knows heaps about computers O.O

[gabrieljuego]

one cuestion. i from argentina. ^my english is bad. ....î have Intel Core i5 750 Quad Core LGA1156 Processor with 4 gb ddr3, asusp7p55d le, is a good machine for gamer computers?

[dukeeaglesfan]

@gabrieljuego si

[Intanius]

Heatsinks smaller than that cool gpus that consume even more power

[WeThrowPie]

For everyone commenting about 'the pins on the processor' ....INTEL PROCESSORS DO NOT HAVE PINS, THE MOTHERBOARDS HAVE PINS.

Only AMD's processors still have pins.

[MrFaizan96]

i think u are in hurry

[Cabalyst]

just got it yesterday. highly satisfied. i personally think u could get i5 750 if u are just gaming. the difference between i7 860 , 920 with i5 750 in terms of gaming is not big. some of the games i5 750 do outperform i7 860 and 920 with 2-3% benchmark while i7 outperform i5 750 in some games. if u are getting it for rendering or ht then i7 definetly ur choice

[MeTaPhYs1CaL]

Linus got locked outside the office? :O

[Crysis2ful]

Windows 7 to qunto you use the processor. What percent?

[MacTechGerman]

@LP64071 yes ;)

[rodneyws1977]

@LP64071 I actually got into a mini-argument over this very question... and it was only ended when myself and another i5-750 owner ended up sending each other pictures of our respective (retail box) processors. My stock heatsink came with 3 strips of thermal paste evenly applied and his had a tube of some cheap thermal grease. Either way, you got everything you need in the retail box to get going.

[rodneyws1977]

Some benchmarks show gaming performance increases when hyperthreading is disabled. It's not a huge different, but it does seem counter-intuitive. Unless you're heavy into video editing, you won't miss hyperthreading.

I bought my i5-750 back in October and don't regret it AT ALL. Effortless OC to 3.6 GHz and outstanding gaming performance. If you've got ~$200 to spend on a CPU, this is the one to get. If you're limited to less than that, AMD has some sweet CPUs in the $150-185 range.

[CRW5900]

@rodneyws1977 this is one of the most value for money processor currently...and the p55 is a great chipset...but i think that cpu will not give a very large improvement. but there are some games that are CPU demanding like L4D2 and GTA 4...well the phenon II 555 BE is also great...but i dont like amd chipset...heard that processors would make diff only in multi GPU configuration...what do you think?

btw whats ur system?:)

[rodneyws1977]

@CRW5900 If your budget can handle a $200 CPU without cutting corners on the GPU, the i5-750 is the way to go. If taking the i5-750 makes you downgrade from a 5800 series card to a 5700 series card, well... you're better off taking an AMD CPU in order to keep the faster GPU.

My specs... i5-750, ATI 5850, 8 GB OCZ Platinum, on an Asus Maximus III Gene motherboard.

[CRW5900]

@rodneyws1977 nice system...mine is older.... HD4890, Intel Core 2 Quad 8200 4GB RAM, on a gigabyte board.....may think to crossfire it soon haha

[Forthevline]

Should I get the i5-750 or the i5-650?

750 has quad core, but apparently 650 has hyperthreading.

What difference does it make?

[CRW5900]

@Forthevline honestly the i5 6 series intergrated graphics is usless....seriously i think it would help HD video only....you might as well get 750=)

[firetruckracer]

i7 doesn't make much of a difference if your gaming. the only major difference is hyper threading which basically makes your computer act like its eight-core instead of quad-core. only useful during 3D imaging and blu-ray movie making. for gaming its useless towards performance and makes your computer heat up like crazy.

[Em0killer13]

@Salami991 Whatever you say kiddo. I tried different benchmarks with and without HT. So yeahh. lol

gtfo

[Em0killer13]

Yeah , a 25% performance increase  does matter to me kthx

[lyokofans]

Make sure you read the instructions they're important. Without them you might install the CPU upside down.

[evenkarke]

Are u driving a Honda?

[Em0killer13]

lol i got i7 860 instead of this.

[Splooshiba]

so much worse value. either get the 750 or the 920

[Em0killer13]

I dont give a shit about value, I dont like the 1366 Socket. and the i5 is too weak for me. I wouldve went with 870 but i spend that extra 300 on some other shit.

[Splooshiba]

why don't you like a socket which is better in every way? that's crazy

if you have the money for an 860, you have the money for a 920

[Em0killer13]

Better in every way, right.

[urbanpanda]

are you on adderal? thanks for the vid.

[TheOm3ga]

Great! but... why do you do it outdoors?

[leehong8882221]

@TheOm3ga his office is too messy

[ej709]

i think it looks better outside cus it has better lighting

[taeke18]

@TheOm3ga i guess that here is better lighting ;)

[Amrut223]

@TheOm3ga Because the outdoors is better?

[LeaveNoEvident]

@TheOm3ga He stole the CPU ,and hes keeping it !

[romeoguitar]

hey ,, if i have ddr3 2000 , would it work with the i5 750. and what u think is better for gaming i5 661 or i5 750 ?

[hussainmushahid]

750,ITS 10X BETTER

[14snow14]

with this come with the paste u have to put on between the cppu and the heat sink?

[chrishowtovideos]

i believe so dude no wait it cames pre apply on the heat sink

[LunarPills]

lolz buy some arctic silver

[eldaguinio]

What micro atx mobo shoul I get to use the Core i5 750?

[chrishowtovideos]

you could get the GIGABYTE GA-P55M-UD4 its kinda cheap about $149 it has 2 pci-e 16 2.0 that runs at SLI/CrossFireX 8x 8x now if you want to run at x16-x16 you would want to go for a x58 board that's the only board that i know of that does x16 x16 which cost about $300-400 but you would need a core i7 920 or higher. hope i helped

[eldaguinio]

thanks!! a lot!!! xD

[chrishowtovideos]

no problem dude

[XlinkK280]

Nice watch lol, and pls STFU Dont TALK SO FAST.

Can someone ducktape his mouth?? hahaha

[epinky2295]

I just bought one of these off of newegg about 5 minutes ago :)

[PCGamenet]

I'm doubt about the i5 750+MSI H55M - E33

Does someone know if I can overclock this to arround 4.5Ghz? Or is it maybe just as awesome as others on clock speed and do I have to buy another mobo to got on 4Ghz?

[CRW5900]

err...yes the mobo is important but i dont think 750 could go past 4.5 because of voltage and TDP limitations....and if you getting such a processor best if dont use H55.....the PCI lane could only do x8 and no multiple GPU....H55 is a stripped down version of P55

[SniggidySnag]

yeah Linus good videos.

[McTw1st]

gotta say the 750 overclocks quite good, my max oc so far is 4.5ghz on air cooler, check my chan for info :)

[vstxp]

The core 2 quad q9400 fucks this up whatever you say(with the staock cooler and not with custom!HA HA!Yeah!

[maarten12100]

u got adhd?

talking so freaking fast :P

[CFrostyTheSnowman]

PRO cessor? rofl guy

[MaDGriZz78]

Im buying this processor but also purchasing a coolermaster hyper 212 plus :)

[torentmonkey]

U got a honda ? :)) .

[rahmanroni]

Actually, despite its size, the fan works really good.

[daadeel]

ya i5 stock cooler really sucks i pakistran coz dere si very hot temp idle so i bought hyper n520 nice cooler :p

[ECXVegetto]

wow never knew that the stock cooler for the i5 was that thick...even my old p4 had a better stock cooler

[Sumsar9530]

#64bitgfx, If its a motherboard with 1156 pins youll have to get a processor with 1156 pins, and if its a motherboard with 1366 pins or whatever, youll have to get one with 1366. (I7)

[64bitgfx]

what does the LGA1156 means?

[LANPARTYDUDE]

its the socket type

[rane6666]

he said that on the video.. it has 1156 pins on it

[snobizz9]

It also means that there is 1156 pins under the CPU

[Sumsar9530]

Means there 1156 pins on the processor

[64bitgfx]

so lets say u see and want this and it has 1156 pins on it, u have to get a motherboard with a 1156 pin socket?

[Em0killer13]

Yes , obviously.

[Jorgie0101]

before i bought my Zalman CPU cooler i had that stock heatsink for a while, about 2 months & it actually surprised me how well it did. Not overclocked obviously.but it works a lot better than it looks

[MrAlyxVance]

you really should never handle a processor like that(the chip part) those pins are very fragile and can easily break

[garcolazo]

@MrAlyxVance the pins are in the socket, like in a 775

[russianwwe]

i have this cpu so far its awesome might over clock soon on pd55kg motherboard

[RoCRoikar]

this is a great CPU overclocks so great

4.04 GHz

36 C at 0%

68 C at 100%

air cooled with cooler Master V8

ran Prime 95 x64 for 10 hours *stable

imagine if i water cooled o_O

[cirre93]

wow.... you need to calm down...

[whlzdenis]

@cirre93 965 125W

or 955 125W

but they both about same speed

but with an amd you get better graphics if u use ati

[TheDjKatz]

wich is better: intel core i5 750 or amd phenom ii 955??

[russianwwe]

what kind of Honda do you drive

[garymofo2]

a prius

[Jorgie0101]

Its a civic, its in another vid of his

[Finlandkiller07]

And the I5 oc's better.

[brunomdn]

This dude talks funny

Anyway, thanks for the info!

[richdanks]

this guys a fruit. talks like a girl

[QunneD]

You're right.

[grimlord5654]

and thats how you unbox a corei5 using a honda key. cool

[tecksazzch]

the first outdoor cpu unboxing vid i have ever seen xD

[manfromhell1234]

@mcnabbmc core i5 for sure then

[elwenses]

Fatal stock Fan

[124Z312]

he's driving a Honda xD

[shalomyo]

id say i5 but are u gona be overclocking?

[neardood1]

definitely the i5 its so much better for gaming and you'll get better yet cheaper boards that support it

[neardood1]

you know that when you put the stick cooler on the table you smushed all of the pre-applied thermal paste on it as well, right...

[1981z28camaro]

So is core i5 a good buy?

I can't get a straight answer on it, all I wanna know, is if I got this CPU, can I Max out ANY game? and not notice a slowdown.

[LinusTechTips]

The CPU is not the only contributing factor. That's why you cannot get a "straight answer".

If you buy a Core i5 750 and run it with 1GB of RAM and a GeForce 8200, then your gaming experience will suck.

If you run it with an SSD, 8GB of RAM, a Radeon 5970, then your gaming experience will be awesome.

[1981z28camaro]

well I just mean in comparison, like you take a Core i7 920 system that gets 60 fps with everything maxed out in GTA IV, and get the same parts, besides the motherboard and ram, and use the same video card, and switch to the i5 750.

Considering memory isn't as important as most people think. It is important, but the difference between 4GB DDR3 1333 mhz, and 6 GB DDR3 1600 Mhz is negligible.

So using relatively the same components, they should perform pretty similarly right?

[LinusTechTips]

It will perform quite well compared to the i7 920. They are similar in terms of gaming performance :)

[1981z28camaro]

ok cool, have you personally gotten a chance to use the i5 750 for an extended period of time?

[LinusTechTips]

no but my secondary rig has an i7 860 and I've tinkered around with it with HT turned off and performance is quite comparable to my i7 920 in my primary rig. The two machines are actually quite similar in terms of spec as well. One has GTX 260 SLI and 12GB RAM, and the other has a 4870 X2 and 8GB of RAM.

[1981z28camaro]

Cool, do you got the 3D Vision kit for your SLI rig? :-)

[LinusTechTips]

No. I run a 30" monitor, and I'm not willing to go any lower than 24", so I'll be waiting for a 24" 120Hz monitor.

Even after that though, I don't think I will invest in a 3D Vision kit. I'm one of the people that gets a splitting headache from using it for even a minute.

I have quite a few co-workers who don't get that effect though, so it might be just me.

120Hz is worth it even without 3D Vision though. Can't wait for it to become standard.

[1981z28camaro]

Yeah, I know what you mean about getting a headache, I got that too, mind you I was just use crappy red & blue glasses.

but after a couple days of playing, I stopped getting headaches, so I think your brain just needs to get use to it, lol

I personally don't mind sacrificing monitor size for 3D Vision tho, but it would be a bonus if you could use 3D Vision on a larger monitor for sure.

I hope ATI eventually adopts 3D Vision too.

[LinusTechTips]

I don't think 3D Vision is coming to ATI any time soon. They are more focused on Eyefinity right now than stereoscopic 3D. I could be wrong though.

[1981z28camaro]

I'm more into 3D Vision myself, everyone's different, I think I will stick with Nvidia for this reason. :-)

[PPootyPeen]

Oh my lord this ADHD high-voiced faggot is the most annoying person I have seen in any video. Throwing the shit around like its nobodies business and opening it just to play with it?

[DrBrunitoz]

what honda do you have? lol

[LinusTechTips]

2003 Civic in black.

It's bone-stock and it's a total grandpa car, but I always get where I need to go :p

[steavedaver]

all of you should get out of your moms bacement and get a life!!!!!!!! stop ripping on him!!!!!

[HispanicImpression]

what a twitter video... "hey, look at me, I've opened the cdu package"...

[new9876]

this guy has extremly erritating voice

[JustinR19]

Its spelled "Irritating" you dumb fuck.

[Daniel7637]

core i7 is LGA1366 not 1156

[tyuo9980]

i7 9xx is x58

i7 8xx is p55

[Daniel7637]

then he should clear up which series he is talking about

[tyuo9980]

he just said the lga1156 i7. is there even a need to say that when the vid is about an i5?

you should already kno this anyways.

[EdwardLaiPY]

now intel core i7 have 1156 la.....

[Zw00lt3]

i7 860 and i7 870 are socket 1156....

[JustinR19]

You're a dumbass.....

[Daniel7637]

and you responding to a "dumbass" makes you what- a retard

[JustinR19]

I'm so sorry to hear about the length of time you've been dealing with Fucking Dumbass Bitch Syndrome. I'll send you a get smart card.

[Daniel7637]

obviously you have too much time on your hands that you have to try to insult a person over the internet

hypocrite

[SecretAznMan83]

That stock cooler is DINKY AS HELL! But it looks A LOT DINKIER in person. Intel needs to start designing some REAL heatsinks for their CPUs.

[SysAdmin86851]

I never used Intel's stock cooler; I just put the biggest Zalman I can fit into the case ;)
