AMD Phenom II X6 1045T 2.7 GHz Socket AM3 desktop CPU HDT45TWFK6DGR, 95W

Here is a 64-bit six-core Socket AM3  six-core CPU from AMD running at 2700 MHz with a turbo frequency of 3200 MHz when no more than 3 cores are in use.  This one is known as the Phenom II X6 1045T. AMD's part number is HDT45TWFK6DGR. 



It uses the "Thuban" core and 45 nanometer traces.  It includes 3MB of L2 cache, plus 6MB of L3 cache.  It includes its own memory controller for DDR2 or DDR3 SDRAM with a 2.0 GHz Hyper Transport Link.  It draws 95W of power.  (All of the faster six-core Phenom II CPUs draw 125W.)  If you have a socket AM3 motherboard, it also supports DDR3 memory, and works with DDR2 memory in a compatible Socket AM2+ motherboard.

This CPU is compatible with many AMD socket AM3 systems (and some socket AM2+ desktop systems), but the buyer should check their system documentation for compatibility.   Here is a link to a partial list of motherboards which support this CPU.  Some systems can not handle a 125W six-core CPU.  A BIOS upgrade may be necessary. If you are not sure, ask me.  I would rather tell you "no" than waste our time for a return over compatibility.

You will receive only the CPU as pictured here (but not the exact one).  A heatsink and a fan are required but not included with this item.   If you need a small tube of thermal paste, just let me know at the time of payment.


Your CPU will arrive working with all pins straight and as pictured.  I have made sure it will drop into a socket AM3, and have inserted the pins in a protective foam pad and enclosed it in a plastic clamshell for shipping.
