AMD Phenom II X6 1090T 3.2 to 3.6 GHz Socket AM3 desktop CPU HDT60ZFBK6DGR, 125W six-core
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. This one is known as the Phenom II X6 1090T. AMD's part number is HDT90ZFBK6DGR. It has an unlocked multiplier, for flexibility in overclocking.

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. I fits in a socket AM3 with DDR3 memory, and also 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. Some motherboards can not handle a 125W CPU. This one will not work in a Hewlett Packard or Acer desktop. Some systems are compatible only with a BIOS upgrade. 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.

I welcome questions from interested buyers. I offer a 30 day return privilege and free shipping to any U.S. zip code.

The processor you are purchasing is a delicate part which two different people have inspected. Each of them was able to insert this CPU into an appropriate socket, but we probably have more experience than you. Please do not be offended if we include some installation instructions.

Here's the technique we use to straighten pins. It requires sunlight, a magnifier, a utility blade and perhaps a safety pin. First, hold the CPU at about a 10 degree angle to the socket and see if you can insert the outer row of pins for only one edge. If you feel any resistance, do not push down. The resistance point helps you locate the troublesome area. Use the utility blade along the sides of the pins to push up any pin that isn't upright. (If the pin is almost flattened you can raise up the end by inserting a safety pin underneath it and lifting the back of the safety pin). Then use the side of the utility blade to make the CPU pin stand up perpendicular to the base, in a line the other pins in that row. Try to avoid any pressure near the base of the pin (which is where they break off). Repeat this process for each of the 4 edges. Then decrease the angle so the inner rows of pins go in the holes and on all 4 sides. Again, try to locate any resistance points for each side and repeat as necessary. Eventually you should be able to use the CPU. Do not spend too much time on this.
