ajp Posted January 23, 2012 ID:519515 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Hi, is there any major difference between the AMD Phenom II X6 1090T 3.2Ghz, and the new AMD FX 6-core 6100 3.3Ghz?Im in doubt to buy the former or the new processor, because I can buy the older at a lower price.Anyone?

rgabbard Posted February 3, 2012 ID:523385 Share Posted February 3, 2012 The 1090T is a great processor, I have one in my desktop at home. However, one of the issues that the Phenom II's have had is an underpowered memory controller. In my case, I have 4x4GB of RAM which caused my rig to BSOD until I upped the voltage on my RAM. Not a huge deal, I can live it it.I would still recommend you go with the FX processor. Yes, it costs more, but it's based off the new bulldozer architecture which is supposed to have better power management. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajp Posted February 6, 2012 Author ID:524142 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Yes, I understand, but I could get the phenom 33% cheaper, so I bought that instead.What do you mean by the underpowered memory controller?, I'll be using it with a mb asrock 880g pro3, and corsair pc-12800 1600Mhz 8Gb CL9 DDR3 ram.Can I have the same BSOD problems you have?

rgabbard Posted February 6, 2012 ID:524160 Share Posted February 6, 2012 It's possible.Just as a note, by defaul the X6 doesn't support 1600Mhz ram. You'll probably see it running at 1333Mhz and have to make sure you set your bios to get the extra speed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajp Posted February 7, 2012 Author ID:524353 Share Posted February 7, 2012 But I mean, it must exist a permanent solution for that problem... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgabbard Posted February 8, 2012 ID:524868 Share Posted February 8, 2012 The "fix" is to up the voltage on the ram. I haven't had a BSOD in a few weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajp Posted February 8, 2012 Author ID:524897 Share Posted February 8, 2012 And how do you do that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgabbard Posted February 17, 2012 ID:527636 Share Posted February 17, 2012 You should be able to in the bios setup for your motherboard. However, I would not recommend doing this until you know for sure if it will be a problem or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
