Switching from phenom II X4 955 C3 to phenom II X6 95w 1055t

**RAWww** · 22-03-2011

I am having a Windows 7 machine from last few years which runs on a AMD Phenom II X4 955 C3. Previously this machine was having a Windows Vista running on it. Though I have never felt like my machine running extreamly slow or something like that but still I guess the time has came to upgrade my machine for getting better performance. Can you guys tell me that how would it be switching from the AMD phenom II X4 955 C3 to X6 95w 1055t of the same brand.

Hello! I wanted a new high-end gaming PC now me and now I have a small question, i am thinking if I instead of my AMD Phenom X4 965 would you prefer AMD Athlon X6 1055T (6x 2.8GHz) buy one, because he only 20 € more expensive. I know now not so super good in fact, what would you take, the better to play x6, It has more power? Another question I have a power supply, I wanted to buy some. I have now, however, is that it has some security matters not one, right?

My PSU: 750W Corsair TX (80 +)
Mainboard: ASUS Socket AM3 M4A89GTD Pro
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD5850

I am looking forward to answers.

If I put my feet in your shoes then, I would take the X4, 6 cores because the dragons are not used and also overclocked the X4 higher. But instead of the 965 I would take the 955, which is structurally the same as the 965, and can in 20 seconds to make it into one. The money saved I'd rather be in a good cooler to plug, so you can then properly overclock. The other components also fit well, but enough for a good power supply 550-600, Is currently the reference. Can you describe the total budget from? At a certain budget, Intel is in fact simply the better choice.

6-core full load at high voltage, which is necessary for the marginal areas of overclocking -> extreme heat, I see's it myself. On the other hand...not a game loaded with 6 cores, so the heat factor if the processor should be designed only for games, As with you, even when harsh OC does not matter. Is really very hot in artificial load programs (Prime, etc.) or in video editing, where all the cores to give full throttle. And even if you have overclocked hard for me to air cooling is (no boxed cooler!) The critical thermal limit at ~ 3.8 Ghz. Normally runs at 3.2 Ghz with me of and that's enough really down for anything. Working for it's normal cycle is reduced to @ 2,8 Ghz and turned on the power management.

It seems to be very easy but well that's not quite that simple, In the phenom II X6 95w 1055t, it could be very easy for you to screw up to the 3.8GHz, without increasing any voltages or bus frequencies. So if you want to have to overclock, you get much further with the 1090T with absolute certainty. It also has the same 3.2Ghz per core performance of a x6 with 3.4 GHz ...

When it comes to a 1055T then let me tell you this is its basic clock. By saving features reduce C & Q and C1E is at idle the cores then 800Mhz. When the processor would be overclocked while I'm always just in Office / Net on the road, would be pure waste of electricity. In the BIOS you can AsRock 3 (OC -) create profiles, save and load at startup as required. Should we always independent of the system (whether Intel or AMD) do so. The electric bill's happy.

That you can forget a i7 920 makes the best 6 cores from amd flat in who you oc the amd 6x of the i7 is still better because we do not talk about the i7 is the most powerful quad. To give your wondering take NEN x4 965 or both non-straight a lot. Can that be a pure quark x6 I think there are many non-play it as good as none at which I do not know whether the cosmos uses already is so I would in any case, reach for a x4 is simply the better solution of whom x4 in 2 years out of date there are already x8 x12 or can grab better and the 20 euro can have much meaning for fan or cooler to use oc.

First, the mainboard has to do with very little, and a per core i7 is equal / slightly better @ Standard. And if you like the i7 common mode, it is simply the better. Would you both with 4 cores running, would be a better i7. 6 cores are rarely used anyway, and there a few good seeds take longer than more not so good. To me, just an idea: It could be here in the forum but someone diagnosed with i7 and find someone with X6 and comparable graphics card. It might be the constant back and make it come to an end.
