Bedside Endeavor: Pentium-K 20th Anniversary Edition G3258 Unboxing~!

I did talked a tiny bit about the Pentium K and I just received mine in the mail today, 1 week ahead of schedule. And this will kick start the Bedside PC Endeavor. It'll have to drag for sometime because I still don't have any parts to go with.

So it came in the usual small brown box from Amazon with the packing bubble bags cushioning the package. It arrived safely so here it is.

The package in the box, the usual blue color that is associated
with Intel's Boxed products

Intel Pentium Dual Core G3258 Inside

You'll get the following contents:

- The Pentium G3258 Chip

- 82mm Delta-Manufactured Fan

- Installation Manual with the Pentium Case Badge at the back page

- A McAfee AntiVirus Offer Brochure bundled

The cooler is a bit different compared to the one I had with my Core i7 2600K, but the design of the fin array is the same as my Core i5 2500K, only with the fan blades updated. It should prove sufficient to get some overclock out of this but as I said earlier in a previous post to try get an aftermarket cooling solution instead. Slick from LinusTechTips has advised though not to spend more than your processor for a Cooler.

and the Foxconn (right) fan from my Core i7 2600K

So Just a refresher for the G3258:
- Clock Speed: 3.2 GHz, Dual Core
- 3MB Cache
- 1333MHz Memory
- LGA 1150
- Intel HD Graphics
- Haswell Architecture

This arrival has kick started the project but the build will be shown later.
