so I recently unboxed the AMD fenom 2 X6
1090t Black Edition and now I'm going to be doing its little brother the X6 1055t
this is not a black edition processor but it's not a you know purple not as
strong Edition processor either this is still a six core processor it's clocked
a little bit slower than the 1090t at 2.8 GHz and up to 3.3 GHz in Turbo core
mode so that means that when you're running anywhere from 1 to three
software threads it's going to clock three CPUs within okay three cores up to
3.3 GHz and then it'll take the other three and clock them down in order to
stay within the thermal specifications that AMD set out for this processor okay
so like they're saying here it's a true six core design with nine Megs of total
cash it uses socket am3 which means that it is a drop in replacement this is one
of the most impressive things about this processor into existing am3 motherboard
so it has support for both ddr2 and DDR3
and there are supposedly over a 100 boards at launch that with just a BIOS
update they will support the brand new six core processors AMD's really done a
terrific job with their engineering team making sure that their new processors
will work in their old boards so the 1055t includes the same heat sink by
default as the 1090 you can see it uses a copper slab at the bottom it's got
heat pipes soldered if you want more details on the heat sink I guess you could watch the other video it's got
fins here and has a 60 mm fan that's
pretty much all there is to really say about it next we have AMD's
documentation oh and we have a phom 2 case badge very nice I like it okay then
we have AMD's certificate of authenticity as well as their warranty
terms and we have inst oh how to recognize AMD sockets that's pretty
useful so they show you everything from socket 754 up to socket F 1207 all right
if we unfold this you'll see that we have an installation guide for how to
install the CPU and the uh heat sink so
here's the one for am2 am2 plus and am3
eight steps pretty straight forward if you've ever installed a CPU before you
shouldn't have too much trouble with it and now let's have a look at the CPU
itself I apologize for going through a little bit quickly on this one but the
cameraman has an important social event that he has to attend so I don't want to
I don't want to keep him for too much longer here so here is the Phenom 2 X6
955 T I will did I say 955 I meant 1055t
I will actually be doing um an overclocking guide featuring this exact
processor where I take the sample that I received and turn it all the way up to 4
GHz six threads so uh stay tuned for
that here's your am3 socket with I believe it's 941 pins as I recall and
thank you for checking out my unboxing of the AMD Phenom 2 X6 6 core processor
this is the 1055t
