nooo. I still have my 1090T sitting here. But really I am happy with this thing. You need to adjust some power settings in the bios to make the FX run nice.

That's been the thing with AMD. They haven't really been able to get Intel on actualy raw performance, but they run so good and so snappy.

So I've finally replaced my Phenom II 965 with the FX6100.

By default the chip scores a 7.4 for CPU from Windows Experience Index.

Thats .1 lower than my overclocked 965.

I'm going to begin doing some Overclocking but I lack the following knowledge.

What is this FX Chips max volt and max temp?

Right now I'm idling 14-23C which is phenomenal compared to my 965 at 40C.

What are ambient temperatures dude? Sounds like the sensor is off.

And I wouldn't go over 1.45 volts myself but I see lots of people pushing more than that.

bare in mind the power consumption goees pretty mad after that point :laugh:

I did not set the voltage of more than 1.45 with FX-8120. AMD says that the maximum temp is 61 C.

AphexDreamer · Nov 26, 2011

BIOS says 36C right now on air.

I had Core C6 State Enabled so I guess that is why it was lower in Windows. I've just diabled it.

About to begin tweaking some settings to up the Mem Freq and CPU freq.

I'll take some recommend settings if you guys have any.
On my Laptop.

AphexDreamer · Nov 26, 2011

I'm getting nothing but Windows errors.

Volts at 1.45

CPU @ 4250mhz

RAM is same speed and same timing that were stable with my 965.

This isn't looking promising.

Fail at 4108mhz as well. with 1.45 volts.

I don't get it? I've even lowered my Ram speed but I can't even get it to clock to 4ghz.

Try to change RAM speed, make it 1600 or 1866 and lower base clock speed. I had problems with bcl above 215 mhz (perhaps because of the 890fx chipset).

I don't think it's that man, temps are probably off, for 14 degree idle you'd be looking at 4celcius ambient room temperatures ( unless it really is chilly in you're room)

within windows +10-15 on the cpu temps.

Currently trying to overclock, but I'll check that if I get a stable overclock.

It seems a lower BCL (FSB right?) frequency helps. it booted at 4200mhz with a 210FSB with 1.45 volts now.

Temps are showing 15C in AMD overdrive randomly spike up to 24C every nowandthen :/ running a windows assessment.

Sorry for my english, FSB of course.
What is the RAM frequency?
NB?
HT?
AMD Overdrive shows on my system wrong temp. Use AIDA 64.

I also lowered RAM frequency. Gonna open up CPuz in a sec and check. Thanks for the help though.

I believe ram is at 1660

When I search for BCL the only thing that comes up is this thread, is it definitely the same as FSB?

Sorry for asking but clearly google doesn;t want to answer me :laugh:

Pics of bios settings? : ]

AphexDreamer · Nov 26, 2011

Ok so panther has me scared my MB has a temp sensor issue. Cause 14C is really low not sure what the temps in my house are.

CPUz shows

Corespeed 4214 Mhz 1.440 -1.452 v

Multi 20

FSB 210

Mem 842 1:4 9 9 9 24 33

NB isn't showing in Cpuz

HT is shown in AMD Overdrive as 2317 and I think NB is the same

Also AMD ovedrive reports Memory Frequency as 50.00mhz

Overdrive seems to have issues

I'll try and take pic of BIOS.

AphexDreamer · Nov 26, 2011

Right now I'm not too convinced on keeping it :/

Played Skyrim and performance seems the same and Windows Experiences Index is the same. Perhaps I have more room on this chip, so no final verdicts.

Going to run 3DMark11 and compare scores from my 965.

Still not sure what temps are though

Try CPU-Z v.1.58.7 It will show.

AphexDreamer · Nov 26, 2011

CPU temp from AID64 is 36 however each core temp reports 17C?

And my NB is same as HT.

Going to see if I can up my Mem Frequency next and squeeze more out of the CPU.

Well in 3Dmark my Physics score and combined score went up except my GPU.

Only diff is Mem Frequency.

de.das.dude · Nov 27, 2011

so... the IMC still sucks like the phenoms?

AphexDreamer · Nov 27, 2011

Whats the best Stress Test Method I should use to test for stability?

Prime 95, easy and works good.

I thought that was cpu temps? It's the cpu thermal sensor that's off.

For what ever reason happens with alot of AMD cpus.

Idk on load stress testing with OCCT passed the linpack test 1:30min my CPU temp reached 51C.

I believe it may be right (which is awesome) but worried it might not be?

pantherx12 · Nov 28, 2011

Well measure the temperatures in you're room.

Normally a good air cooler will be 10c or so above the ambient temperature when the cpu is idling.

It might be a bit lower with bulldozer ( can't remember it's idle TDP) but it will pretty much always be higher than ambient.

Well thermostat shows 77F but I feel as though my Room must be a bit lower maybe 72.

I suppose that sounds about right when I saw 51C on load?

We just turned on the heater cause it is 45F outside, had my window open during stress test.

PII X6s tend to idle at ambient.

Unless the misreading temp sensor coordinates with changing room tempuratures. :rolleyes:

What? It's not possible for a running CPU to idle at ambient temperatures using an air cooler.
