1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:07,040
so I recently unboxed the AMD fenom 2 X6

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:12,880
1090t Black Edition and now I'm going to be doing its little brother the X6 1055t

3
00:00:10,639 --> 00:00:17,680
this is not a black edition processor but it's not a you know purple not as

4
00:00:15,559 --> 00:00:21,880
strong Edition processor either this is still a six core processor it's clocked

5
00:00:20,039 --> 00:00:27,000
a little bit slower than the 1090t at 2.8 GHz and up to 3.3 GHz in Turbo core

6
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:31,039
mode so that means that when you're running anywhere from 1 to three

7
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:36,879
software threads it's going to clock three CPUs within okay three cores up to

8
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:41,399
3.3 GHz and then it'll take the other three and clock them down in order to

9
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:45,079
stay within the thermal specifications that AMD set out for this processor okay

10
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:49,840
so like they're saying here it's a true six core design with nine Megs of total

11
00:00:47,079 --> 00:00:53,600
cash it uses socket am3 which means that it is a drop in replacement this is one

12
00:00:51,800 --> 00:01:01,680
of the most impressive things about this processor into existing am3 motherboard

13
00:00:57,559 --> 00:01:03,680
so it has support for both ddr2 and DDR3

14
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:08,560
and there are supposedly over a 100 boards at launch that with just a BIOS

15
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:12,920
update they will support the brand new six core processors AMD's really done a

16
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:16,720
terrific job with their engineering team making sure that their new processors

17
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:22,439
will work in their old boards so the 1055t includes the same heat sink by

18
00:01:19,759 --> 00:01:25,560
default as the 1090 you can see it uses a copper slab at the bottom it's got

19
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:32,200
heat pipes soldered if you want more details on the heat sink I guess you could watch the other video it's got

20
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,640
fins here and has a 60 mm fan that's

21
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:38,240
pretty much all there is to really say about it next we have AMD's

22
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:43,360
documentation oh and we have a phom 2 case badge very nice I like it okay then

23
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:47,600
we have AMD's certificate of authenticity as well as their warranty

24
00:01:45,119 --> 00:01:51,159
terms and we have inst oh how to recognize AMD sockets that's pretty

25
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:57,600
useful so they show you everything from socket 754 up to socket F 1207 all right

26
00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:02,960
if we unfold this you'll see that we have an installation guide for how to

27
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:06,280
install the CPU and the uh heat sink so

28
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:08,319
here's the one for am2 am2 plus and am3

29
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:12,520
eight steps pretty straight forward if you've ever installed a CPU before you

30
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:16,040
shouldn't have too much trouble with it and now let's have a look at the CPU

31
00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:20,160
itself I apologize for going through a little bit quickly on this one but the

32
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:23,519
cameraman has an important social event that he has to attend so I don't want to

33
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:32,319
I don't want to keep him for too much longer here so here is the Phenom 2 X6

34
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:34,400
955 T I will did I say 955 I meant 1055t

35
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:39,120
I will actually be doing um an overclocking guide featuring this exact

36
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:44,280
processor where I take the sample that I received and turn it all the way up to 4

37
00:02:41,159 --> 00:02:46,599
GHz six threads so uh stay tuned for

38
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:52,720
that here's your am3 socket with I believe it's 941 pins as I recall and

39
00:02:51,000 --> 00:03:00,319
thank you for checking out my unboxing of the AMD Phenom 2 X6 6 core processor

40
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,319
this is the 1055t
