Now send it over to the Professional so he can get it to 6ghz on Dice

Very nice review. Surprising numbers coming from that that CPU even without it being a BE.

hokiealumnus · 12-06-10, 11:45 PM

Thanks! Come again though? The 1100T is a BE.

EDIT - Added Black Edition to the title. In hindsight, should have done that before.

David · 12-07-10, 12:51 AM

Is the CPUz validation issue a widespread one.

Dolk: you freeze AMD chips on a regular basis, do you have issues with it? Is it a software version thing?

HousERaT · 12-07-10, 06:26 AM

Good review. Thanks.

hokiealumnus · 12-07-10, 07:36 AM

David - Not sure. It worked fine on ambient cooling. I haven't had CPUz validate anything on the two chips I've taken cold - the 1090T and the 1100T. There was talk last time of Vcore fluctuation issues with LLC on, so I tried with it off and got nothing. CanardPC's site will only take results from the most recent version, so that's what I'm necessarily running.

Thanks HousERaT!

Dolk · 12-07-10, 09:07 AM

Not sure why it wouldn't validate. Most of the OS's we use for extreme don't have internet access so we have to save the validates and than upload them later.

hokiealumnus · 12-07-10, 09:21 AM

I tried saving it and submitting at multiple speeds as well as straight uploading directly from CPUz (gave me error 6) while in the OS that I booted to at 5GHz. It makes no sense at all.

hokiealumnus · 12-07-10, 10:22 AM

In case anyone is interested in pricing of all current Phenoms, AMD just pointed us to this page, which was just updated today.

EarthDog · 12-07-10, 10:25 AM

Excellent reivew Hokie!!!! Looks to be an interesting chip in the market!

Marshmallow64 · 12-07-10, 10:40 AM

Thanks for the review!

netmask · 12-07-10, 02:41 PM

Nice nice nice thank you for posting.

Peeved Kitten · 12-07-10, 03:40 PM

So according to that price sheet the 1055t and the 1075t are the same price, in that case why would you opt for the 1055t?

hokiealumnus · 12-07-10, 03:53 PM

Thanks guys; it was my pleasure!

Peeved Kitten, my guess is that's a typo. The 1055T is $179 at Newegg right now and i'd guess that's what the list is supposed to reflect. Even so, the 1075T's extra multi is definitely worth $20.

Thanks, I figured as much (checked Newegg right after I saw that lol.)

BigAndrew · 12-09-10, 12:09 AM

Has the release date for the 1100T been announced?

hokiealumnus · 12-09-10, 12:21 AM

They're officially released now AFAIK. When retailers will get them, I have no idea.
