Would you consider using one of these CPU's in 2023? Sorry, I had to re-post the video. The 1st one I messed up editing. I decided to try to make the audio better, and managed to mess up the graphics a lot. So I posted the original one instead. The behind the scenes of this video have been a mess! Haha! I hope you enjoy the video! 😊
There are actually patches for some of the games that require missing instruction sets made by various modders (mostly Eastern Bloc), patching out the SSE requirements Intel SDE can also emulate some, but this normally isn't recommended, as it can be slow It's pretty amazing these things could be dropped into old DDR2 AM2 boards to bring them up to around Ivy Bridge/Sandy Bridge level! For a lot of people, they could have kept running on the same platform to even current day if tempering expectations. Still kicking myself for going the Core 2 route many years ago for a budget build instead of pushing a friend's AM2 board to the limit; having dug it out and upgraded it recently with one of these, Phenom would have been the better value path. Thanks for covering some of the more niche hardware like this!
You're welcome! Also it isn't really as fast as an i7 940 or something. It is about the speed of an i3 3220, or an i5 2400. But that's about it. I do enjoy using that CPU, but it is slower than you would expect, being that it has 6 cores. Thanks for the comment by the way! (: Also, it supports DDR3 RAM too, which is very nice!
The SSE thing was what eventually pushed me to build a new PC but I tell a hwat that CPU lasted a looooooooooooong time. It will always have a special place in my heart
Until recently (3 months ago), I used to play with the Phenom II x6 1055T, with two gpu (first amd 6770 x2, then amd R7 250x x2 and now nvidia gtx 960 + amd R7 250X) and 16 G DDR3. It did all the job until SSE4.1 came in most games. I know there's patches for most of them (games) but I had to change my setup for the newer to come (sight). This CPU was and still is incredible !
My parents still have my old Phenom 2 x6 1100t in a desktop at their house. They still use it for browsing occasionally, I'm surprised that it can still support running games like Halo Infinite at over 100fps+ !!!!! 6 cores at the time seemed like overkill, but it allowed it to survive as an office/light gaming pc. It originally had a nvidia gtx 560 1gb, the card died, and it now has an amd rx 460 2gb I bought second hand for them 6 years ago.
That is quite nice! I been looking for a cheap 10100T, but they all seem to be very highly priced anymore. But even then, they are decent. But not for the price anymore. If it's not used for gaming, it should be good for many more years to come! But it might require switching to Linux, as Windows 10 will be discontinued in ~2025. And the Phenom won't run Windows 11... Sort of. I have ran it on Windows 11 before by messing with the install file to get it to install. But it doesn't update anymore. It did for a while, but it's stuck on Windows 11, version 21H2. Which is a bit old. The update does not even show in the Update area. It's like it isn't a thing! Lol.
@@digitaljon1109 After Windows 10 becomes EOL, and win 11 is completely incompatible even with mods, I will most likely put Linux on it or donate/recycle it. I've seen people run windows 11 but they have to do some dism/registry changes to get the old phenoms to run and update correctly.
i have the 1100t overclocked at 4.1ghz, northbridge 2.9ghz ht link 2.9ghz, 2x8gb 2133mhz corsair, rx 480 8gb overclocked a bit on the core and memory clock and m5a99fx pro r2.0, still running alot of newer games on medium-high with 30-50 fps, some on max
I think it can keep going for more years! Maybe get a GPU upgrade if the GPU is still from 2010. But the CPU should be good for quite a few older games.
if your board supports it and you can find one cheap get a used FX 8350, I had a DDR3 based system running a 1090T and had a few issues with some games not working due to lack of newer SSE instructions but I just swapped it out for an FX 8350 and it allowed me to get more use out of my PC, dont go below the FX 8350 as the FX line was never a huge upgrade most the times even just a sidegrade.
I have like 20+ PCs and still have a X6 1045T + win 10 + SSD in 2024. Works fine used for browsing, vpn, word processing and backing up a iphones. Faste enough in 2024 for sure. Games are really the only thing you need a new cpu for. Maybe video editing too.
@@digitaljon1109 I still have it actually but it's retired it's just sitting there on my desk as a decorative piece at this point LOL I'm running up more modern system these days
Ah! You should toss it into a PC some day, and try to use it again for a week. Just to see how it holds up! ;p I am still using the old i7 3770 (non K) at one of the houses I stay at. It works well.@@tonymontalvo2004
@@digitaljon1109 I might just do that. I still have the motherboard as well. It was a sabertooth 990fx. Only thing I would need would be some DDR3 which has to be dirt cheap at this point in time. I got an old GTX 1060 sitting around that I could pair with it. Might actually be fun I do enjoy messing with old Hardware
La verdad para usarlo en 2023 si sirve para jugar juegos actuales,yo tengo esa con 16 de ram ddr3,gtx 730 y el phenom x6 y es jugable los juegos,estoy satisfecho con eso
I had a Phenom II 1090T a few years back and I was forced to get an FX8350 to tie me over as in some newer games the Phenom II lacked some newer SSE instructions would mean games either refused to work at all or would randomly crash at the same point.
12 years of experience with the Phenom ii x4 955 c3 v be, it is no longer as bad as it was before, recently I understood the reason why these processors are giving acceptable results, the secret of this is that amd on the day of the launch of these CPUS did not give developers all the code, but now The topic has changed completely. If you try games like atomic heart, Hougwarts legacy, diablo 4, resident evil 4 re, village, Wo Long Fallen Dynasty, Warhammer 40,000 Darktide, Gotham Knights, you will find great results compared to the age of the CPU . For example, I tried Phenom II X4 955 and gtx 960 4gb with Ryzen 5600g and vega 7 4 gb vram in MOTO GP 22 , isn't the second supposed to give better results than the first, but the first was better The games that I mentioned to you above, you will see the difference and you will find it in favor of the Phenom II, although the processor goes to work 100 percent in some games, the really amazing thing is that there is no drop fps
That's awesome! I would like to be able to test all the new games, but I don't own any of them. The newest 2 games I own are Overwatch 2, and Cyberpunk 2077. But that is quite impressive for your Phenom!
Oh! Here is how the slowest AM3 CPU performs if you where wondering. I figured I would send you it, sense it just posted. Lol. ua-cam.com/video/gR_PX-Gow_A/v-deo.html How is your day by the way?
@@digitaljon1109 Yes, it is very acceptable, only, many want to show people that these processors are dead, but when the actual tests show the exact opposite, even these cpus outperform the core 2 quad not as before what I noticed is that Phenom II gives good results with NVIDIA cards Especially with games that have optimization, there is one more thing I would like to tell you, next time try to change api dx11 to dx12 of course if the game supports it and you will see another result I actually tested games that do not boot thanks to a friend I know is Luther He's got it, he's released a lot of fixes for games like RDR2, Valhala, and more, but the fixes only work with pirated games. Regarding athlon's last video, hehehe, we can say goodbye to him forever, he's actually dead
You should have used an AM3+ motherboard. At least it would have had DDR3 1333 Support as well as a PCIe 2.0 slot. Seems you have a 1.1 slot so no matter what GPU you put in there it was going to choke.
@@digitaljon1109 They work well in AM3+. Higher memory frequencies and more OC headroom for the 1100T black edition but your 1035T would have worked just as well.
@@digitaljon1109 Mhm. I know. It's why I suggested an AM3+. You can run much faster memory and you can overclock it. I know people that use them as daily drivers @4.1 Ghz. If they had SSSE3 and AVX they'd still be relevant in many more ways.
it would be interesting to test the integrated graphics on the board, i had a similar board (with a different chipset) and i could overclock the igpu, let me know if you have an igpu
Bro btw the reason why valorant would crash is because of the version of msi afterburner that you are using, just update it to the latest and you're good to go
Good question! I am not sure. My motherboard has 2 RAM slots, so I was only able to put 2, 8 GB sticks in of DDR3. With DDR2, I think it can accept up to 8 GB. But with DDR3, I'm not sure. I know 100% it works with 16 GB though.
You didn't know intel gen 11th to gen 14th eating 200 watt? Much works than AMD current gen. Meanwhile AMD in phenom and FX era eating 100++ pretty easily

For collection ? Yes. I'm looking for an 1100T still.
Use a linux distro on it.

can you make another video but with gt 730 instead ty
I won't, since I don't have a GT 730. I did make a video on a similar graphics card, is a GT 630. But I don't have that you said though.
It’s the worse cpu in the x6 range a 1100T is a better test. The x4 965 outperforms the 1035.
True, it is the worst. But at the same time... It also still misses lots of instructions.
I know this is weird but would u sell me this cpu
Does this processor accept 32GB of RAM?
Good question! I am not sure. My motherboard has 2 RAM slots, so I was only able to put 2, 8 GB sticks in of DDR3.
