1055T vs 1090T OC

[deimos3428]

I'm looking at these and wondering what kind of overclocks are people seeing on the 1090T. I've seen reports of 4.0 to 4.1 on 1055T @ ~1.5v, but I haven't seen anything much above that for the 1090T. Does it just cut into the overhead or is there a significant improvement?

I don't know ... but I suspect in the binning process AMD had some rather rigid criteria as to which went into each pile.

How they factor and weigh volts, temps, leakage, etc.,in binning is anyone's guess at this point. As typical each will have their own 'sweet spot' and it will be weeks, if not months, before folks find the best combination of BIOS versions, components, temps, voltages, etc.

And then there are the utilities --- programs like Phenom MSR Tweaker may add even more excitement to the mix.

I think the unlocked cpu multi on the 1090T will make a big difference when folks figure out the best ways to manage turbo-core. Whether it will be worth an extra $70-$80 remains to be seen.

If someone can run 17x240MHz with 19x240MHz turbo core .... that will really be something

It does seem that the 1090T's are binned higher

(sorry for the constant linking to XS, but they already have 1090Ts overclocked)


Personally, my 1055T is priming (blend) at 3.95GHz / 2.84GHz NB with 1.376vcore right now. It can prime blend stable a little over 4GHz / 2.79GHz NB w/ 1.408vcore.

priming at 33 degrees? i find that hard to believe.

AMD's temperature sensors are basically screwed up and no one really knows how to measure that accurately. The only way AFAIK is to check the temps in your bios(again no way to check the load/stress temps).

I don't look at the individual core temps, since they are jacked. I look at overall cpu temp only, which is TMPin1 (40c).
