Overclock ceiling diff. between PhIIx6 1055/75T and 1090/100T

As far as I can gather, the phneom II x6 1055T and 1075T don't have unlocked multipliers like the models above them, but I've heard that they too can go near 4ghz.

Is it true? What do the 1035/1055/1075T owners think?

Also, when overclocking these lower, non "BE" models, do you need to lower the memory speed?
 
All you need is a memory divider and you're set.

There is binning, but my guess is that most X6s will hit 3.8ghz, with a smaller percentage hitting 4ghz and a little bit above (~4.2ghz).

The X6 Thubans are still overpriced IMO. I would pay around $100 for one.

Thuban seems to be pretty consistent about hovering around 4GHz while not pushing unhealthy voltages.

So if you'd pay around $100 for a x6, I'm assuming you wouldn't even touch a lower than 2500K Sandybridge? The i3-2100 being the ~$100 Intel chip.
 
I paid essentially $75 for my Phenom II X4 about a year ago. To pay more than $100 for an X6 at this point seems stupid to me.

What I'm saying is I would buy *nothing* in the current CPU market. The only thing that moderately interests me is the new AMD Socket FM1 chip that reportedly hits 4.4ghz on 1.375v, and even then it's only based on rumours, plus it's still barely faster than what I have.

what are you currently clocked at
 
I think Zosma is the most interesting chip for enthusiasts to buy right now. Sickbeast is an example of the incredibly competitive blowout combo sales you can get from time to time that really sweeten the deal. Even after seeing a hundred samples of neutered Llanos doing 4.4 ghz I would prefer to take my chances unlocking and overclocking a $100 Zosma on a $80 AM3 board. That's just what I would do with my money if I had to buy soon.

Anyone on a Penryn or better intel machine has no urgent need to upgrade to nehalem or SNB with 22nm IVB so nearly around the corner, and anyone on an AMD system likely supports Zosma or Deneb as drop in upgrades, which gets them close enough to the cutting edge for less than a hundred bucks, that spending over $350 on a platform overhaul seems wasteful.
 
I run at 2080 so no, the 1055T does not need lower memory settings. If you're going to get an X6 get it unlocked, my motherboard locks my HT link and NB @ 2100mhz or so when I try and get past 280 on the NB. No clue if that's the case on other boards but personally I can't find a way around it. I'd of gone with the unlocked if I didn't get such a good deal on the 1055T, way easier to OC w an unlocked multi IMO.
 
I have a 1055t that was one of the first ones sold. Its good for 4ghz on auto volts. If you have no problem running your FSB at 240-250 get a non black.

My 1035T runs solid @ 3.7 with a slight volt bump. Speaking of OC, this processor is easier to overlock than my ex (965 C3). It also undervolts fairly well and its reported TDP of 95w can be dropped way below (good practice when not doing computer intensive tasks). Best thing however is the temps under load. Significantly lower than its predecessors (namely Athlon II X2 & Phenom II X4) and possibly the current generation of Intel/AMD cpus. As the processor gets hotter it will needlessly draw additional power. Very important if you run things in a confined space with limited cooling available.

Got the CPU for $150 about 13 months ago. The mobo set me back another $38 and that 4GB dual-channel Kingston KIT of low profile RAM cost me $55.

You can prolly get a better performance per dollar in the current market though.

Picked a 1090T up at microcenter back in June/July and it won't run 4.0Ghz stable even with 1.525V. I can get into windows, but Prime95 can't pass an hour. It does appear to be fully stable at 3.8Ghz with 1.4V. I know it is at 1.425V.

I have a 1035T (Stock 2.6GHz Thuban) @ 4.0GHz Rock Stable at 1.475v
 
My 1090T (bought in July 2010) has been at 4.2ghz Cores, 3ghz Northbridge @ 1.42V and 1.3V respectively since the week I bought it. Suicide OC is ~ 4.5ghz with 1.55V and highest stable OC is 4.35ghz @ 1.52V (not worth the exta .1V for 150 mhz)
