Quick OC With 1055T & 790FXTA

AMD has refined their process even more, so why are you so pessimistic?

I'm not pessimistic. Based on actual facts, on the product history and my experience with it if you like, I'm being realistic.

First show up fo Phenom II: 940BE C2. Everyone of us saw them running benchmarks at 3.9Ghz

In reality, max stable for the average processor was: 3.6-3.7Ghz. For the lucky ones: 3.8Ghz

Then you have Phenom II 955, the second, more mature C2.
Everyone of us saw them running 3.9, 4.0Ghz... much easier than 940BE.

In reality, max stable for the average processor was: 3.7-3.8Ghz. For the lucky ones: 3.9 to 3.95Ghz

Then we have C3... wich promised better overclocks. And it delivered:

Average: 3.9 to 4.0Ghz. And the lucky ones may hit 4.05 to 4.1Ghz, but you have benchmarks of them runing 4.7Ghz on air. Yay!?.... nope.

Now we have E0.
What has history told us to expect?

If you are expecting to hit 4.2Ghz rock stable with a six-core... I'm not the one who's gonna be dissapointed.

On the other hand IF these processors manage to hit ON AVERAGE 4.0Ghz (and not the DAMN 3.9484126~Ghz ish...) with 6-cores I will buy one and will be very happy with it

(for me stability is 1hs OCCT linpack and 64b Windows, or at least a two hs. on prime95 blend).
