Martins 1055T 95W TDP Overclocking

Something must have gone wrong.
There doesn't appear to be any throttling of any kind, I'm looking at the right temperature, but it was 41c at an hour load of Prime at 4.2 :S.
 
I always find that there is 6c diffrence between individual CPU core temps and the joint core temp. Using speefan/everest/HWinfo, the idividual core temps always appear 6c lower than the CPU temp in the above software. I just go of the highest temp and then you cant go wrong.. Just to clarify, when I was trying to get my 4G OC stable, I had set the BIos to buzz me when it got close to 60c the individual core temp was 54c when my Mb BIOs buzzer went off, I double checked , with speedfan & HWinfo & everest whilst it was buzzing, and the CPU temp (not individidual core temp) was 60c so Core temp is 6c lower tahn the actual CPU temp. which was very good to kow otherwise id be typing this from my backup machine :)

Just incase I forgot to metion Martin, thanks for your help yesterday< hope I didnt Hijack your thread to much..
 
Did your CPU end up stable in the end?

Gone for a proper blend now, I've closed my window, the ambient is quite high now, I'm at 54c.
I'm doing good :).

If this passes I'm expecting 4.3 Prime Blend stable lol.
 
no alas it did not, im still playing with cpb on/off at the moment im testing 3710 on prime see if i can get through 1 blend test.

4.3GHZ did 2 and a half hours of Prime till I got bored :).

I got as far as 4.125 and the dreaded hardware failure detected came up on prime:eek: :( I think it was my RAM

1 worker failed after another until there was none running... ;(:eek::eek:

:confused:panic mode kicked in and I set everything back to stock and booted, no beep :( turned it off for 5mins powered up and started, it beeped :) thankfully no permanent damage, my heart was in me mouth... now got it back to 3780 and it seem quite happy on prime. gets a little hot on the 800000 iterations of 8k 54c but other than that stable 24/7 OC for number crunching that little bit faster. goona try the intel (secret covert weapon to melt/destroy AMD chips) Burn Test, and see if it survives...

amd says 71c max but i guess thats for stock. the way i see it when overclocking the max temps limit drops

and amd says 1.375v max for these chips

Yeah thats right for the 95w im running the 125w and thats max temp 62c according to AMD, i didnt know there was a higher temp for the 95w. rushed out to get me 1055t a little too soon perhaps.:o
 
I,m really immpressed with the 95w 1055t.. I run mine 3.5ghz standard and it turbos to 4ghz on 3 cores and only needs 1.225v.. The max temp i have ever got is 46.c. and i,m using a Freezer 7 .. Really is a cracking chip..
 
AMD have stopped retailers from selling them separately, which is strange considering it's the first truly decent chip they have released (if the OP's overclock is a standard thing for these chips).

I might be tempted if there was a standalone 1055T 95W+Crossfire VI bundle, without memory/heatsink etc.
 
Some nice over clocks here. Just to clarify some stuff (I haven't had an AMD chip since the Athlon AXIA!):

The 1055T 95W (2.8GHz) is around £150, similar to the i5-750 (2.66GHz). Looking at the Anantech bench:
http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/147?vs=109
At stock i5 looks a good bit better in most areas, in some cases a third faster, the only areas where the 1055T beats the i5 is in well-threaded stuff like video encoding, POVRay SMP, Cinebench mult-thread... Surprisingly even multi-threaded stuff like 3dsmax seems to be pretty even and the i5 is much better for games.

Looking at those benchmarks, I think I'd stick with the i5-750 for similar price. What about overclocking though?

Will both platforms deliver 4GHz reliably? How does performance scale with clock speed? Is the 1055T held back with weaker memory bandwidth than the i5-750? The 1055T does have higher power consumption, a mark against it.

In short, pros and cons of the two £150 chips? Which to choose for a mid-range machine and why?

If I needed it for games I'd probably have gone i5/i3, but the reason I got quite an expensive cpu was for rendering/photoshop/sketch up, so I feel I've made the right choice!
 
Does anyone have any benchmarks on how the i5 and 1055T scale when overclocked? We know the relative performance at stock speeds, it seems one can hope for a 50% overclock but how does that change the relative performance (if at all). Does one chip scale better than the other?

Realistically what is a decent overclock for the two? 3.6-3.8 for the i5 and 4GHz for the 1055T?
