unityofsaints breaks 3 records with an AMD Phenom II X6 1090T BE processor

Back in 2010, AMD launched the first affordable six-core desktop processors. The AMD Phenom II X6 1090T BE, highlighted in this news piece, briefly served as the flagship of the company's new lineup.

Australian overclocker unityofsaints leveraged this very processor, liquid-nitrogen cooling it to set a series of records in the Phenom II X6 1090T BE's model category.
