Phenom II X6 1090T: unityofsaints set 3 LN2 records

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.

Let's start with a less significant, yet still impressive achievement: the CPU overclock.

unityofsaints managed to push the 6-core chip to a rather impressive 6859 MHz:

Unfortunately, this only secured him third place. However, the enthusiast wasn't deterred. By slightly lowering the frequency, he managed to claim three first-place finishes in the SuperPi - 32M, SuperPi - 1M, and PiFast disciplines:

All three gold medals were achieved in the six-core CPU's model categories. Each brought significant accolades to its owner, and overall, breaking records on such old CPUs is always noteworthy.

unityofsaints is one of the few overclockers who meticulously details the components used for his records, and this time was no exception.

The Australian enthusiast's test bench included the following components:

Processor: Phenom II X6 1090T BE
Motherboard: Asus Crosshair IV Extreme
RAM: Corsair 2x 2GB CMGTX2
Graphics card: GIGABYTE GeForce GT 710
SSD: ADATA SU650 (FW: V8X01c45)
