*** Official AMD Phenom II X6 1055T & 1090T Overclocking Thread ***

Hey everyone!

Got my Asus Chrosshair IV and G.Skill 1600C7 this morning with an AMD x2 555BE, its all up and running, just finishing drivers etc. Oc'ing will come a bit later on...:D

I have a couple of questions though....

1) Would it be a good idea for the non Hex's to post OC results in here as I see a lot of you have moved to the Hex's and the Phenom II thread looks like it is dying? That way we could combine all results for 'Phenom II'.

2) People with the Chrosshair IV.... the onboard sound.. is it worth using (X-FI on) over the Asus Xonar DX soundcard?

I will be asking more questions about the use fo the Chrosshair's software and features. Some of you seem to have somehow joined your selves to that Mobo!

Thanks in advance all:D

Brack.
 
Hi guys, looking at getting a 1055T, and this thread's given some interesting info. Got a couple of questions though. On air, I'm likely to be looking at around 3.5Ghz for this chip? Some reviews have said 4.0, but given some of the 1090's are sitting around that level, I'm guessing the 1055's will be slower? Especially with the locked multiplier.

Also, what's the TurboCore feature liked with overclocked CPU's? I'm guessing its next to useless, given that it works by raising the voltage, which you already do to get high clock speeds anyway?
 
Well, tweaking's something I don't mind doing. How good's a good board though? I was looking at the Asus M4A89GTD PRO. I looked at the 890FX boards, but they seem a little excessive, especially for a single card solution? The difference in price would probably be better spent on a 1090 instead :x
 
Been tweaking a bit to get voltages down.

The NB and HT voltages are one above stock and the Vcore at 1.475, it just doesn't seem to like it any lower than this at 4ghz.
the RAM has had timings tightened and been O/Cd a bit, im still playing about with cooling but the max ive seen on the CPU is 52C

Oh and i now have some sort of speedstep enabled!!!
 
Core Temp doesn't read the right sensors for these CPU's.

You need to get HWmonitor and look at TMPIN0 or TMPIN1 (depending on your board).

Those are your actual CPU temps. And they are usually a fair bit higher than the readings CoreTemp etc shows.

yeh i have been running both, im using coretemp to keep track of what the cores are doing frequency wise and there only seems to be a big discrepancy when not under stress, as all temps are pretty much guess work on these CPUs anyhow.

that because the core temp isn't a true reading.

tbh monitoring temps on these K10 CPUS isn't guess work.

amd have said it's the cpu temp thats the right one to monitor..
 
There were people that OC'd their 6 core to 5.8Ghz with LN :O Don't know if I could post the link here, but if you search, you'll find it
 
Hi guys
Just brought myself a Titan Prism system with the Phenom II x6 1090T its already OC at 4Ghz should be arriving sometime before 12 today so when its all up and running will post screens of temps and stuff.

Nice, let us know how you get on, will be interested on what voltages etc OC are using on there bundles.
