AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Processor (HDT55TFBGRBOX)

The 1055T is capable of very high overclocks. It starts at a stock 2.8GHz but most are capable of overclocking to 4GHz+ stable. While it's a good and cheap chip for overclocking, it's not very comparable to Intel's offerings.

Bought one of these as part of a full rig upgrade which also included a new motherboard and new RAM. I was able to easily overclock it to 3.5GHz on stock cooling and at stock voltage. Not much to really say about this processor. It works great and does everything I need it to without any problems. Would definitely recommend it to someone looking for a hexa-core processor at a reasonable price.

Ive had this since it was first released all that long while ago. Loved having the new toy out. It oc pretty good with stock cooling (3.2ghz-1.4v) and kept cool. Ive had a Cooler Master V8 which cooled it to 11c and now have a Corsair H100 which cools it to mid teens and never gets above 43c-for anything. 24/7 OC 3.92ghz@1.42v Thing really eats encoding and CS5 and other than competing with Intels better models of the same age proc can post some really nice scores. I do notice that nowadays you really need over 5ghz to push the highest end gc inorder to post the hights benchmark scores and saddly it just cant offer that. My gc runs 1015 core rock solid but the 1055t holds it back from true greatness.
The card has no issues with anything i ask of it. I and multitask a ton of stuff and not be affected by severe slowdowns. Ive seen these cpu selling for under a hundered from time to time. If your looking for cheap and good this chip delivers.

**its asking me to tell your the purchase date. I through whatever in there as i cant recal the exact date. It was fresh after release.

The 1055T, in my experience, oevrclocks as well as most of the other Phenom II x6 processors, provided you have the proper hardware.

 

Remember, this is a locked multiplier processor, so ensure you have the proper equipment.  That is: a motherboard with good ref clock overclocking ability, and at least DDR3-1600 for your memory (to reach 4GHz, one ideally uses a 286-300Mhz bus clock at which you can use the x5.33 multiplier to set DDR3-1600 optimally).

My 1055T has reached 4GHz with 1.4V under a Noctua NH-D14 (better cooling can equal lower volts).  Results may vary; some are better, some are worse.  There is really no way to tell.

 

As always, make sure your motherboard supports the TDP of the 1055T you have (95W or 125W).
