AMD A10-7700K APU Quad Core Socket FM2+ Processor W/RADEON R7
Cons:1. Some boards may not post with a Kaveri APU due to having an old Bios revision.2. Dual graphics mode only supported with R7,R9 (for now)
Pros:1. Unlocked multiplier.2. Compute performance.3. GCN 2.0 (includes hw to improve multi gpu performance).Integrated features (pcie3, trueaudio, hUMA, hQ, ddr3-2400, mantle). |
When paired with a A88XM-PLUS/CSM, unboxing the A10-7700K was like letting a feral cat out of a sack.Other parts: ddr3-1600, hybrid hdd, pcp&c powerThe A88XM-PLUS/CSM features all of the overclocking settings you could need. It also has the requisite cooler for the (more than capable) 4+2 phase VRM. tl;dr; I pressed the 'OC Tune' button in the bios, rebooted, and here's the result.
