[XS]Just got Phenom II x6 1055T (Retail)

[Apokalipse]

On a somewhat related note, how many people have filed the IHS down to the die on a Phenom II chip?

[richierich]

Ok got my 1055T finally up and running.

[rant]MAKE SURE TO UPDATE YOUR BIOS FIRST BEFORE SWAPPING CPUS![/rant]

It sure takes up lots of extra time to swap cpus with the Scythe Mugen 2 (push/pull config, @#$@#$#@ fan clips!!!). Especially if you swap from A to B, find out that system won't post because your dumbass forgot to update BIOS first, then swap back to A, update BIOS, swap back to B. Took an extra hour (when I updated BIOS I didn't even screw the motherboard down). LMAO!

Just starting to tinker around now.

[richierich]

So far my RAM is severely limiting me. Can only hit 4.3GHz / NB 3GHz so far.

[crazydiamond]

bench stable?

[richierich]

Yep

[richierich]

Some quick benches:

Stock:







Overclocked:








I think I've managed to disable Turbo as well. In my BIOS there's an option called "Core Performance". I disabled it. I haven't seen any crazy jumps or crashes due to turbo kicking in.

[informal]

"Core Performance" is Turbo Boost,good job .
keep pushing it,great results there!

[richierich]

What's even funnier is that my 1055T also has BPMW, the 4th Phenom II chip I've gotten that was made from that factory.

Can I get A list of Stability tests and links to where I can get them for AMD that you guys would like when I get my 1055T next week? You know like occt and the cinebench, Everest and any others you think I should run.

1011 BPMW. Nice runs there RR

[richierich]

Thanks Dumo! Can't wait to see your results as well.

[=SOC= Admiral]

Thank you rich. My 720 BE didnt constitute doing extreme stuff like the 1055T does. Im am happy Im getting one. Parents would normally even though im 18 not allow it. But they are letting me spend around $500 on upgrades for my rig before I head off to college. This includes the 1055T and 1 EVGA GTX470. Cant wait for the 470 next.

[richierich]

Yeah that's cool your parents are doing that. The 1055T will hold you over for quite some time since you won't be able to upgrade for awhile.

[PetNorth]

richierich, can you run x264 benchmark at that speed?

Thanks!

[richierich]

Please link me a file for that benchmark

Download it from here:

I was going to say add in Uigine Heaven but it seems like it's gpu limit so probably won't see any gain....

[ridney]

gratz on the x6 richie! the cinebench scores are amazing! can you run higher than 4.3 maybe 4.4 or even 4.5? i think these chips can handle 1.625v no problem

[Nintendork]

At least that 790X can disable the Turbo wich is a PITA for overclock.

I can't go much higher because my RAM is limiting me. It was pretty warm today; we'll see how high I can go once I try running in the early morning hours.

use lower memory divider to clock higher. how high are the temps getting at 4.3? i saw you got 44c so it's still pretty cool at that clock speed. i think having exotic cooling is negligible on these chips

Boot up @ 330X14 @ Vcore 1.63.

Too bad Nforce 980a board need new bios revision

wow! that's what i'm talking about what did you bench? post some screenies

[richierich]

Dumo, post some screenies!
