00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:07.040
so I recently unboxed the AMD fenom 2 X6

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

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

00:00:15.559 --> 00:00:21.880
strong Edition processor either this is still a six core processor it's clocked

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

00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:31.039
mode so that means that when you're running anywhere from 1 to three

00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:36.879
software threads it's going to clock three CPUs within okay three cores up to

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

00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:45.079
stay within the thermal specifications that AMD set out for this processor okay

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

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

00:00:51.800 --> 00:01:01.680
of the most impressive things about this processor into existing am3 motherboard

00:00:57.559 --> 00:01:03.680
so it has support for both ddr2 and DDR3

00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:08.560
and there are supposedly over a 100 boards at launch that with just a BIOS

00:01:06.360 --> 00:01:12.920
update they will support the brand new six core processors AMD's really done a

00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:16.720
terrific job with their engineering team making sure that their new processors

00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:22.439
will work in their old boards so the 1055t includes the same heat sink by

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

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

00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:33.640
fins here and has a 60 mm fan that's

00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:38.240
pretty much all there is to really say about it next we have AMD's

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

00:01:41.960 --> 00:01:47.600
we have AMD's certificate of authenticity as well as their warranty

00:01:45.119 --> 00:01:51.159
terms and we have inst oh how to recognize AMD sockets that's pretty

00:01:49.360 --> 00:01:57.600
useful so they show you everything from socket 754 up to socket F 1207 all right

00:01:55.640 --> 00:02:02.960
if we unfold this you'll see that we have an installation guide for how to

00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:06.280
install the CPU and the uh heat sink so

00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:08.319
here's the one for am2 am2 plus and am3

00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:12.520
eight steps pretty straight forward if you've ever installed a CPU before you

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

00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:20.160
itself I apologize for going through a little bit quickly on this one but the

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

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

00:02:27.440 --> 00:02:34.400
955 T I will did I say 955 I meant 1055t

00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:39.120
I will actually be doing um an overclocking guide featuring this exact

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

00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:46.599
GHz six threads so uh stay tuned for

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

00:02:51.000 --> 00:03:00.319
thank you for checking out my unboxing of the AMD Phenom 2 X6 6 core processor

00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:00.319
this is the 1055t
