    UPDATE: Apparently overclocking the RAM on Phenom CPU's isn't really worth the effort, since jumping from 1333 MHz
    1700 MHz does not seem to increase performance (unless you also tighten the timings of course). Thanks to @John Bovay for providing the information.

    • @hjembrentkent6181
      @hjembrentkent6181 4 года назад +1

      Do you overclock? If you do, you need to raise the CPU-NB multiplier. That's the memory controller multiplier, and you tighten cache timings as well. The memory controller was still a little weak on Phenom II, give it some more speed. Just keep the voltage on that below 1.35, give it some margin. 1.3 volts will get you from 2000 MHz to 2800 MHz probably. Also keep the HT link at the same multiplier as the CPU-NB, that one should require less voltage.

    Just replaced it a few months back with a Ryzen 3800x.
    Btw, NB/CPU OC to 2.8GHz gives great performance increase on Phenom II, just make sure to leave HT at close to 2GHz as possible.

  • @ndr2q

    I used my Phenom II X6 1090T for about 8 years, and it was great. I eventually demoted it to a home theatre PC and finally retired it last month, in November 2019. I’m now using a Ryzen 3600X, which feels like a worthy successor.
    The Phenom got better with age. It launched at a time when most games were only using 1 or 2 cores, so it felt like a lot of its potential was untapped. Phenoms finally hit a sweet spot during this console generation, when suddenly applications started to get more multi threading support. It was probably a much better processor at the time of its release than any of us thought back then ... it was just a little ahead of its time.

  • @SSFighter1701
    @SSFighter1701 4 года назад +4

    I have a Phenom II x6 1045t machine that I built in 2013 as a gaming machine. It was actually pretty cheap to build even then - had it paired with a GTX 650 Ti. That machine is now in the hands of my 15 year old cousin who thoroughly loves it. Apparently he was able to get a bit of a OC out of it and he put a used RX480 and 16GB RAM which apparently has it running his Overwatch, Minecraft, and Rocket League just fine.
    Basically what I'm saying is that these processors have plenty of juice left so long as your expectations are reasonable.

      If you can unlock the cores and
      enter Windows, but only have stability problems,
      I recommend using AMD OverDrive program. This allows you to set the frequency for each core.
      Fixing clocks of core number 5 and 6(
      2000 ~ 2600mhz), core boosting off, more likely to work without problems.

      I've got a 3600, tested on asrock x570 extreme4 and gigabyte aorus x570 elite Wi-Fi, tested stock and most up to date bios' on each. I used the larger tr2 cooler, and temps at stock approach high 80's to 90's at high loads on stock configuration, precluding any overclocking, and believe me, I've spent 20+ hours tweaking and trying. It is my conclusion that at 1.45 volts demanded even at just desktop loads, (at least with the chip I got), the proc is demanding far more voltage than necessary. If a stranger can offer advice : skip the 3600, go for the 3600X. I believe you'll have far better results.

    Long live the Phenoms man i'm still rocking an X3 as a daily driver from 2010 for surfing and office work since i don't play games any more and if i do i mostly play old games that my HD6850 and phenom crunches for breakfast.
    Has been running since 2010 @3.65Ghz 1.428V 1800Mhz Ram @ 9-10-9-27-36-1T and NB @ 2700Mhz 1.3V
    Out of curiosity what was your NB voltage to get this OC? 4.1 is really good for those chips especially using an air cooler!! Just keep in mind that the temps are quite high. Generally you want these chips at or under 50C for every day use, the thermal shutdown or throttling i don't remember which one is at 65C i think so you are just 5C shy from it.
    Also in order to get the most out of these chips you need to OC the NB. You get more performance from this than OCing the cores the system becomes a lot more snappier as well. Try for 3Ghz and don't go over 1,35V.
    You will need an AM3 motherboard probably since the 9 Series wasn't really optimized for Phenom that's why you had problems with the multipliers..

    • @hjembrentkent6181
      @hjembrentkent6181 4 года назад +1

      Exactly. You dont want to go much higher than 1.3v on the NB anyway, perfect overclock for your chip. I assume you tried to unlock that last core on your X3, that chip is actually an X4 i think.

    • @skotadism0s
      @skotadism0s 4 года назад

      @@hjembrentkent6181 yeah it is an x4 chip and it unlocked the 4th core perfectly but only for 32-bit windows... under 64-bit it would insta crash as soon as windows started to load :S
      Oh well at least i unlocked the extra L3 cache, my chip was originally an athlon II X3 435 @ 2.9Ghz locked processor so i had to also get creative with the OC as well.
      i think the reason i bumped the NB voltage so high was to stabilize the core OC rather than NB OC.. that's why i'm asking about his NB volts maybe thuban was different or silicon quality?
      My chip went to something like 3.5Ghz and 2.5NB on stock volts and then needed crazy voltage to get just a tiny bit more. Also it hated temps over 50C when OCed past stock volts.
      I remember i tried and tried for 3.85Ghz and couldn't for the life of me get it stable for a decent amount of time in prime so i left it at that.

    Actually by lowering the resolution youve forced your processor to take all the work from the game and didn't use the GPU at its maximum performance. By not using a resolution of 1080p you actually created a bottleneck scenario in which the load is going to the CPU instead of the GPU. I'd recommend to remake the tests using 1080p settings.

    I ran a 1090t for years on my XT and later 10 system but I started doing HDTV video captures and recoding and it was slow at that. Back in the day I played a lot of games on it with at the time a okay video card. I was upgraded to a I7 980 and the 1090t is a slow dog by comparison doing video recodes. It is a old chip now too but it was a cheap upgrade 5 years after it came out. If I was just running my plex server and playing older games it would probably still be fine but my usage has changed and the extra virtual cores on the i7 chips make a huge difference in video editing and recoding. My latest box is a I7 4960x with 32 gig and it's about 25 percent faster than the 980. I still have the board around just in case as its a big part of my history and I had a lot of fun and used it hard for probably 10 years. I agree though if you have all the parts and a low budget you can use it nicely for things and non demanding games to this day. Other than that a top end older i7 using ddr3 is a great upgrade or a early ryzen if you have a bit more money for memory and like that. I never overclocked mine and maybe I should have tried it but I was going more for reliability and stability and it ran rock stable for years.
