Had to update my profile, appearently the last time I did I was still rocking a Phenom II. Anyway my main PC with the FX-8350 is currently down as I'm building watercooling on it, but I recently made this nice little substitute:

GPU-Z

CPU-Z
http://valid.canardpc.com/lc0jbh

And here we have the screenshot, I had to use Teamviewer as I'm not home at this moment, hence why you see the onscreen keyboard, appearently there's no screenshot method in Teamviewer.

Everything packed into a nice Lian-Li PC-TU200B case, the APU is capable of running full speed, but for the sake of keeping temperatures slightly down I changed the cTDP to 65W, since I'm mainly playing BF4 on it with Mantle I haven't noticed much, if any hit on performance. All the specs are in my "system spec" on my profile :).

For some reason, in that board, the TPM header is where the USB 3.0 header should be and vice-versa.
Overall, nice layout. And staying in Gigabyte tradition, low amount of fan headers (especially 4-pin) on AMD boards.
Those VRMs could use a heatsink...but then again, it's not an OC-tought board...

A mosfet cooler would have been nice, but i am quite happy that it at least had a cooler on the chipset in place. It is not unheard of, that boards like this get send out completely naked *G*

Also the mosfets don't get too hot on stock settings. It probably helps, the cpu cooler provides plenty of airflow for them.

Yes, like I said, that board wasn't thought for OC'ing, so for non-K APUs it should do just fine without the VRM heatsink.
Mine has it, but I'm not using the stock cooler. Still, I have plenty of fans shoving air around that area. Haven't spotted throttling under load so far. Let's see if it stays this way by the time summer is here.

Summer's here! And high temps too! So I underclocked my chip.
And while doing so I found out something interesting (that I had never experienced before or read about it). If I set the multi below 34x, Windows will "forget" about lowering clocks to idle values (C'n'Q enabled). (YMMV)
The options in the "Power Options" advanced menu will simply disappear, for all profiles.
I noticed this because temps weren't dropping while the computer was doing nothing and CPU-Z/HWiNFO pretty much confirmed my assumptions, clocks weren't going down. (Although CPU-Z reported Vcore drops, HWiNFO didn't)
I had underclocked, initially, to 3.2GHz.
I tried to reset C'n'Q, along with reboots, further underclocking down to 3GHz (+Vcore adjustments), editing the registry...nothing. Until I found, in the tubes, someone that mentioned his/hers OS reacted the same way if the multi on his/hers PII x4 was set above a certain value (don't recall how much). So I thought about setting mine close to stock and see what happened. 34x worked.
Afterwards I tried to investigate this further and found out that one of the P-states (P1, in fact) is set at 3.2GHz (should have checked this first). This might have had something to do with it. I assume Windows might have misinterpreted UEFI readings and considered it to be a conflict. I guess the resolution was to disable/ignore idle clocks/P-states, for safety maybe.

Current settings: 3.4GHz @ 1.2875v.

I have gotten an A10-7850K since I last posted anything here. And a Athlon 5350 too. :D
The A10-7850K has been a bit of a difficult thing, but I think I've gotten it to a fairly good point. Now I''m just waiting for cooler weather to make some more serious overclocking.

What's wrong? I'm just trying to reduce the heat. With the room hitting 30ºC it's hard to keep this think under limits.
Xigmatek states the sd963 is rated at 130W, but it seems it would need the 2nd fan, which I don't have. (also, there must be some contact issues or something... :\ )

Neat. How's that HSA working out for you?

If it looks like an APU, walks like an APU and quacks like an APU...

So is it bad that I was able to OC my 3420m to 2.4ghz and keep it stable at 1.3v?

It just seems like a high voltage for that speed.

Haven't really tested anything that uses it.

It is a bit, not that much. But I changed the multi 1st and was going for vcore next, if I hadn't bumped into that odd discovery.
I gave it just a small cut, from what I had at 4GHz. I was also busy with work, so didn't have the time to tweak it right.

My A6-3500 did 2,4GHz at 1,1v... That was good times. :D

Also going to post some more from my A10-7850K after the current round of stability testing.

Well, according to the details of mine, one of the p-states is 2.4GHz at 1.08v. Not sure how much time it stays at that spot, but I haven't got instabilities to report.

There's a bit of a difference between Llano and Trinity. But low voltage is always nice. :D

My A10-7850K runs 4,2GHz@1,325v. The jump to 4,3GHz does unfortunately require at least 1,375v :(. Haven't tested it enough to be entirely sure that it's stable, but it seems to be.

True and also true.
(I missed the part where that was a Llano)

After some more testing of clocks and voltages, I think I'm going to leave my A10-7850K at 4,2GHz CPU and 800MHz iGPU plus 1,8GHz NB.
I don't know why, but the iGPU and NB just don't want to overclock much. The iGPU of my last APU was just as hopeless. Seems I get all the bad iGPUs. :(

Finally have clock and voltage control on my Athlon 5350 though, so am doing some testing on that. Don't have Windows on it though, so can't really bench much.

Trinity A8-5500 + ASRock FM2A85X-ITX ... I was thinking maybe to switch up to A10-6800K

Yeah, upgraded to Richland A10-6700 a long while back, and sold the A8-5500. Now I'd like to upgrade to the latest carrizo/excavator if they ever get around to making the higher end desktop APUs. But that means getting a new motherboard for FM2+ platform ...

I should see about taking my laptop apart, slapping a rigged cooler onto it, and benchmarking that sucker to see how far it'll OC. I used to be able to get it from 1.5ghz stock to 2.6ghz with thermals being the only wall.
