AMD Phenom II X6 1090T - 3.2 GHz Six Core (HDT90ZFBK6DGR) Processor

I upgraded from an AMD 1055t to the faster AMD 1090t to achieve better results in folding@home which I do 24/7 on two AMD x6 1090 processors in two machines.
Instead of going to the much hyped (and failed IMO) Bulldozer series, I stayed with what I already knew worked.
Using the Asus Turbo V EVO Overclocking utility I am able to Overclock to 3.76Ghz on one system and 3.712Ghz on the newest system. Both use the Asus Crosshair Formula IV motherboards and 8Gb of G.Skill RAM. The performance with both processors running at 100% capacity all the time is excellent!!!
No overheating issues as I am using a Corsair H70 on one and a Corsair H80 on the other.
Both processors will easily get to 4.2 Ghz for normal computing but due to the requirements of Folding@Home I have had to turn that down slightly about .4 Ghz so that both machines run stable.
While both systems are folding I can get on either and still code a disk, run Battlefield 3 (online) or watch a movie (Blu-Ray and Standard DVD) with no lag in the system at all!!!
In my opinion these are the absolute best processors AMD has ever made and will multi-task better than any other processor consistently. Intel fanboys will scream about their speed but when it comes to real world multi-tasking jobs the Intel i7 series just runs entirely too hot and eventually produces glitches.
I built both systems with the intention of making them future-proof as much as possible, gaming monsters, and able to run real time high end programs. I have yet to be disappointed even with CAD and Photoshop!
There is just absolutely no way I am going back to Intel at this point overpaying for processors that simply won't deliver for any period of time without having to spend for an expensive open water-cooling system. I'm an admitted AMD fanboy at this point having used the x6 series for over a year now with perfect results everytime.

Very few of us will be able to make this chip bust a sweat.I can't find enough stuff for it to do simultaneously to use more than around 20% of its capacity.Cannot make it get any hotter than 29 C under Win 7 x 64 and I have it running at 3.6GHz with cool and quiet and CIE disabled via bios.Deceptively fast,bulletproof and under $150.It's gotta be a rebadged Opty but just buy it if you want a computer that you won't have to upgrade period!Budget minded overclockers may want to look elsewhere (the 980 quad maybe) but for the rest of us there is no comparison except its bigger brother which is truly exceptional.Simply put...a brilliant CPU!!! if you (like myself) can't even imagine
paying $1400 for a chip and another $500 for a mobo to put
that chip in.

You can't get a better processor for the money. This chip moves mountains and stays cool while doing it.

Great chip, awesome for gaming, even better for a virtual server with 6 cores!! It's too bad AMD is discontinuing these.

Superb performance, tough & robust on executing multi heavy tasks. Excellent gain in performance compared to a dual core. A reliable processor on the market for AMD geeks mostly.
