AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition 3.2 GHz Socket AM3 desktop CPU HDT90ZFBK6DGR, 125W

Here is a 64-bit six-core Socket AM3  six-core CPU from AMD running at 3200 MHz with a turbo frequency of 3600 MHz when no more than 3 cores are in use.  This one is known as the Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition. AMD's part number is HDT90ZFBK6DGR.  As a Black Edition processor, it features an unlocked multiplier.



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 125W of power.   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 a 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.

The third picture shows the exact CPU you will receive running in the system used to make this listing.

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.

I welcome questions from interested bidders and offer a 30 day return privilege.  I will consolidate shipping for winners of multiple items within 3 days.

Please let me know within three days of purchase if you can't use PayPal or prefer not to use that payment method.  However, I accept credit card payments only through PayPal.

Shipping to any address in the U.S. with a zip code is FREE via USPS first class mail. I ship only to the address PayPal gives me.  I offer inexpensive USPS first class international shipping everywhere else, if you don't mind the delay and lack of meaningful tracking.

Also, let me know if you need a shipping method not listed here or if you need a quote for consolidated shipping.  I can use any service from FedEx or US Postal Service and will quote you the same postage cost I pay.  International bidders: please note that  you are responsible for paying any additional customs duties or VAT your country may charge you.
