AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition - Phenom II X6 Thuban 6-Core 3.2 GHz Socket AM3 125W Desktop Processor - HDT90ZFBGRBOX
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition - Phenom II X6 Thuban 6-Core 3.2 GHz Socket AM3 125W Desktop Processor - HDT90ZFBGRBOX

Pros: wow ... wow ... thats all i can say about this cpu. I went from a athlon II x4 to this beast, and wow is all i can say. This thing is crazy fast nothing i have seems to make it strain. prime 95 is the only thing that i have that will stress this thing.

Cons: can get a little warm with the AMD fan and heatsink.(no biggie paired this with a cwch100 and that took care of the heat issues)

Overall Review: over clock !!!!! right no need to over clock this thing. I am not trying to crunch number to put a man on the moon. people that I work with thought i was insain for getting a 6 core cpu. was gonna go with the bulldozer but its a flop and no way am i gonna spend what intell wants for one of their cpus. Handles games really decent given that i do not own a game nor know of a game that can actually use all 6 cores. my wife uses the "ole space heater" to upload her facebook vids. her $1,000 lap top is too slow.. ha is all i got to say. buy it you will not regret it.

pure garbage

KINGWIN Power Force PF-850 850 W ATX 12V v2.2, EPS 12V v2.91, and SSI EPS SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
KINGWIN Power Force PF-850 850 W ATX 12V v2.2, EPS 12V v2.91, and SSI EPS SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: none

Cons: I ordered this power supply on 2/14/2013 today is 7/26/2013 it went up in smoke yesterday morning.

This was some ofthe best!

CORSAIR Vengeance LP 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Low Profile Desktop Memory Model CML8GX3M2A1600C9

Pros: Cheap, dependable, and it worked great! Had this ram in a AND 1090T setup for over a year and a half, and it ran like a champ. My wife picked it up from a local supply store cause she thought it was cheaper there than here on newegg. Recently the AND rig took a nose dive and my power supply shot a spark across my room. I am ordering another 8GB of it for my new 3770K build. I don't know if the old ram is any good since I don't have an extra power supply just laying around. I will test it when I get my new PC built, if the old ram works I will use it and have 16 GB if not I will be ready with a fresh set!

Cons: None, nada, zilch. Get it you won't be disappointed.

Overall Review: My old system This ram AMD 1090T 4.0 over clock AMD 6970 x2 crossfire 4 WD BLACK HDD ASUS Crosshair V motherboard A tech 1200W psu

...Not shure what to think!

Seagate Constellation ES ST500NM0011P 500GB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Seagate Constellation ES ST500NM0011P 500GB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: I ordered a refirbushed Seagate 500GB 7200RPM Sata3 hard drive.... I received a Labled HP 1TB 7200 Rpm Hard Drive. It is indeed a Seagate Hard Drive. It has passed all the test in the Sea Tools Menue so I guess its ok.

Cons: wasnt exactly what I ordered but hey I would not count this as a con cause it is 1TB and not 500GB. now i still cant tell if it is Sata 3 or Sata2.......

Overall Review: I was gonna start a RAID array on my pc but now I think I will have to pass as I ordered another refurbuished HDD 500GB 7200 RPM "SATA3" from another site for $5.00 less and 500GB is way too much storage space to pass up. I Took one egg just due to the fact that it wasn't exactly what I wanted.

Yeah dude your gettin a ROG board!

ASUS Crosshair V Formula AM3+ AMD 990FX USB 3.0 ATX AMD Gaming Motherboard with 3-Way SLI/CrossFireX Support and UEFI BIOS
ASUS Crosshair V Formula AM3+ AMD 990FX USB 3.0 ATX AMD Gaming Motherboard with 3-Way SLI/CrossFireX Support and UEFI BIOS

Pros: AM3+, gets me out of the stone age (my old M.board was a am2+ / am3). The new BIOS (UEFI) is great could really care less about the mouse but it is pretty cool. actually its the east thing in the world to over clock with this board. I can not stress how nice it is to put a large graphic card on the board and not have to fight with the sata ports cause these are on the side of the board. (which is what led me to getting a new board broke one off my old board by placeing a 6970 on it LOL noob mistake) haven't tried RAID out yet but i am saving for 4 raptors in raid then i will repost. DDR3 Dual channell memory i have been missing out on sweetness with ddr2.

Cons: AI Suit doesn't live up to the hype for over clockers. I "overclocked" in windows every thing showed 3.9 Ghz but after submitting a furmakr test score I saw 3.2 Ghz cpu speed, so as for me i think i will stick with the bios (UEFI on this board) for my over clocking needs. So for the missleading over clock i took an egg. should have waited and got it from the egg but i really wanted it and was in a store picking up other supplies and they had it for $1.00 more than the egg did. srry new egg i feel like i had an affair please forgive me it will not happen again

Overall Review: sure its expensive but its worth every cent. also seems to me like 90% of the bad reviews are the people who jumped to the new Bulldozer cpu. My 1090T phen. II X6 has no problem at all with this board.

CWCH 100 is the way to go

CORSAIR Hydro Series H100 (CWCH100) Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
CORSAIR Hydro Series H100 (CWCH100) Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler

Pros: HUGE improvement over stock cpu heat sink and fan. Not as hard to install as some has said. It gives my case that clean look when i open it up. Keeps the cpu temp 10c cooler that the room temp.

Cons: you might need a bigger case to install this 200mm radiator. the egg was always sold out so i had to grab one from a local vender. the hoses seem a little stiff as stated in other reviews. (had to say something bad had a spot for it) wishes they made one of these for vga cards too

Overall Review: fits inside my nzxt phantom case like it was made just for that case. It keeps my phen. II x6 nice and cool much better than the cheap one that amd sends with the cpu. my pc sits in my living room and with the cwch100 set on medium it keeps my cpu 10c cooler than the room it self. living in south east texas where the summers can strain a home's ac system this is much better than a heatsink and fan set up
