New APU A10-Trinity 5800k Build+Choice of Graphics
hey guys,
finally getting to sell my Athlon II x4 Rig to a friend and went with AMD's new APU Series. i already have my case, PSU and DVD Drive coming and in the Video and Pics you'll see my other parts. aside from the MB and CPU should i invest in a 7750? i have seen reviews of the MB i am getting and with the GPU in the MB and CPU BF3 already gets close to decent frame rate. mind you i am only going to be playing left4dead 1/2, killing floor and other sorts of games like that. let me know your opinion Unbox APU computer build unbox 1 - YouTube Tested Board and it's ok APU computer build unbox 2 - YouTube ![]()

I would try the integrated GPU first...and see how it does to your liking. Then re-evalute how much your willing to spend on a GPU to accompany it.

For source games i think the igp would do just fine, too bad bad you have picked only 1333 ram higher clocks would have helped that igp greatly.

The answer depends on the screen resolution you will be playing at, to be honest the IGP would be fine for fairly low intensity games upto 1080p but you would struggle probably at something like BF3 even on low settings. Adding a discreet card for Hybrid XFire is very cost effective and would give you much more scope in gaming terms as well as making a sound investment towards the longevity of your new system, take a look here, there is some good stuff for you........

got my case in and motherboard is installed
![]() ![]() ![]() now to further looking through the BIOS i saw that my CPU Temp. was roughly high @62C which i know that is a high Temp. for any CPU. now what i did was i re-applied new Thermal paste on this CPU and on my Athlon II x4. the Athlon II went back down to it's 30C which is nice. however this APU has now climbed to 63C as i type. could it be a read senor error? it's cool right now in my room bought 69-71F. Note: wow now to 65C ![]() Edit: forgot to mention i had the boost clock enabled. i have disabled that now and i changed CPU Voltage down to 1.3125 from 1.3500 and down clocked CPU to 3.3GHZ. temp. steady @55.5C but slowly decreasing Last edited by rk3066; Dec 6, 2012 at 04:54 PM. |

XIGMATEK Gaia SD1283 120mm Long Life Bearing CPU C... ** EDIT- and pick up this 4 pack of fans (2 in front for intake, 2 in the top for exhaust) COOLER MASTER R4-S2S-124K-GP 120mm Case Fan 4 in 1... I run this one in a couple of systems and it's the best $20 cooler you can get right now and fairly easy to install

Why invest in a 7750 when you can get a 6670 cheaper and crossfire it with the on die 7650D?
![]() ![]() ![]() Now if your thinking 7770, thats a different story. |

I used a 5800k in a build I did for someone and the thing runs pretty darn hot. I ditched the stock cooler after seeing the temps and switched over to a deneb era (heat-pipe cooler) with Noctua paste and the thing still idles at around 45C and loads around 80C [p95] at the minimum stock voltage. Seems kind of ridiculous to me.

Will this one ive built is for a customer and since i saw your thread i thought id see what temps i got with this one to compare for you. At the moment its been sitting in the BIOS for the last 20mins and the CPU temp is staying at around 56-58c. i will do another test tomorrow for you once Windows is installed to see what it gets to under load.

Very cool build! Have the micro atx version of that mobo and proc in my wishlist on the egg for a new tower for the family. Very interested in your opinions on the mobo and how the chip performs as I have not pulled the trigger on it quite yet. Have never worked with an asrock board so will be a little new ground for me.
