    Phenom or Bulldozer

    I would have purchased the 1100 for a little better OC maybe. But my 1090 is stable at 1.42 V and 3.7ghz. Any more, and I have to jack up the volts which is kinda silly for 24/7. I would gain 300mhz at 1.52 volts for 4ghz. No thanks.

    I think in 12 months this chip will start to show its true potential ;)

    Why are you surprised about Bulldozer's performance?

    Seriously, some of you guys need to get a life. :rolleyes: What did you think BD was going to 8ghz on air or something? Bulldozer is 32mm and 2500K is 32mm. Both the same "generation" chip. AMD operates on a fraction of Intel R&D. We buy AMD because they are not intel, they are the...

    Re: AMD Bulldozer Criticism

    :rolleyes: You understand the only reason we have Sandy Bridge in 2011 is the competition AMD brings to the market? Seriously, the best today might be Core Duos priced $500 per chip without competition in the market. Supporting AMD brings better products, faster and cheaper to the market...

    Upgrade from AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Thuban 2.8GHz?

    No way, the AMD chip IMO would be an upgrade when overclocked properly.

    no prob with the fans, that chip should not run that hot. Re-install ;)

    are these 1090t temps normal?

    my 1090 runs at 22 Celsius at idle 69 degrees room temperature. With 1.5 volts and 4.1 ghz, I have never seen it over 45 degrees with a Corsair H50 water setup. Your temps are very high. No grease or improperly installed Corsair?

    AMD Phenom II X6 1060T Voltage Drift?

    According to CPU-Z, the CPU voltage seems to drift as much as .10-.12 volt when my BIOS Voltage is set manually or auto. I'm wondering if this is adding to system stability, especially overclocking. Is the only accurate voltage numbers read in the BIOS? They seem much more stable...

    Discontinued 1155 Motherboards

    when they were being sold, how much was a decent, low-mid-range board selling for? I'm trying to do a cost analysis on the Sandy Bridge versus the AMD X4s and X6s Phenon IIs. I can get a decent AM3 board right now for $80. Will the new 1155 MBs be double? Thanks
