Great value and performance!,
I’ve had this processor for almost a month now and I love it. Great performance and stability, affordable price and a great overclocker. No cons to this purchase that I have found.
I think one important thing to note for people who do overclock their processors is that this chip overclocks at least as well as the 4 core chips, so there really is no downside for gaming, etc… to pick 6 cores over 4. With Turbo Boost, this thing will run faster than the default clock on up to three cores, so if you have any games that only use one or two cores, you’ll get great performance given the game’s limitations.
After some careful tweaking, I now have my rig running rock stable at 3.8Ghz, with Turbo Boost set to run at 4.05 Ghz!
If you do plan on Overclocking, make sure to spring for a good cpu cooler. this is the one I settled on and even after running Prime 95 on all 6 cores in an 80F room, core temp stays below 60C!

I paired the processor with a great new motherboard, which has nice features, great stability and superb overclocking support:
ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 – AM3 – AMD 890GX – DDR3 – USB 3.0 SATA 6 Gb/s – ATX Motherboard

New Power Supply:

And of course, new ram (Running at 1600 Mhz):

Overall performance is incredible. This processor also dynamically adjusts load between the six cores. Have a game or app that only runs on 2 cores? The processor will bounce the threads from one core to another, to even out the load and help evenly spread heat generation. AMD’s Cool n’ Quite also works very well with this processor. Testing benchmarks with Cool n’ Quiet on or off made zero difference in performance under load, but the technology will intelligently and dynamically adjust processor speed on each core independently, from a low of around 1.2 Ghz up to the Turbo Boost Speed, as needed. This saves on energy consumption (core voltages adjust with the speed adjustments) and helps keep your system running cool under normal use.
I’ve also found that this new system plays very well with Windows 7 sleep mode, with time needed to put the system to sleep or wake it back up again being around 5 seconds! All the fans in my system are shut down in sleep mode as well, so it’s a true energy saving sleep solution.
To end, I want to stress that you will probably want a good cooler, maybe even if you don’t plan to overclock. The Zalman Performa made a huge difference in core temps at idle and under load and runs more quietly than the stock fan, under most conditions. To get the best of this, or any processor, you want to make sure the other components are a good match to the CPU as well.

|Unsurpassed quality for the price,
Ok. For those who are Intel fans or for those who are not sure about this CPU, let me say a few words. I am an Intel fan and I own all Intel CPUs. Now, that being stated here comes the facts. I am a scientist and I work in a lab with 9 more people including other scientists and research assistants. We have 6 computers in the lab, all with same amount of RAM and storage: 4 computers are using Intel Core i7 960 Bloomfield. The other 2 computers are using this processor (Phenom II X6 1055T). All of us randomly work on and switch around these 6 computers during our 10 hour work day. We use all sorts of scientific software from data analysis to databases to performing complex scientific calculations. Noone notices any difference in performance. Noone says “yes, I was on the AMD computer and it took a bit longer to finish.” Noone says “It’s taking a while because I am on the AMD.” If there is a difference in performance, it is so small that it is not noticeable in these tasks. I can’t comment on gaming performance. We don’t play games. In summary, this is an excellent CPU for the price.
