Gigabyte f2a88x-up4 amd a10 7850k review

[msimax]

msimax, I was wondering if you had any experience with benchmarking this set-up against a multiplayer BF4 map (after a decent overclock... not stock speeds)... I ask because I am contemplating building with this CPU/mobo set-up for my HTPC which I intend to game at 1080p with (BF4). I'm addicted needless to say I'd like to see high settings at 30fps plus if possilbe... I would obviously overclock this set-up to it's limit.

i haven't had the chance to check with a multiplayer map but heres a video of gameplay if your overclocked chances are you will get better frames. dont slack on memory 2400mhz is what i recommend

Ok I have overclockable 2400mhz memory. Probably just gonna hope for 2400mhz on the memory. What settings do you have BF4 on in the youtube video?

this was not my video only posted to show a example of game play with the chip

I've been fighting with a gigabyte board for a few hours. Cant break ~4200mhz cpu (only up to 1.45v very unstable so far) or ~2200mhz memory (2x8GB 10-13-12-32/2T)

Also using XMP profiles tries to run ram at CAS6 on the board.

do you have the lastest bios? and are you clocking with fsb?

[STEvil]

only had a couple hours to do anything so just multiplier only and stock bios. will play with it again on weekend maybe.

I was thinking about the same thing, I have a gaming pc but its often apart, waiting for hardware (like still waiting for 290x Lightning) or running benchmarks etc so I would love to have a tiny netbox that can play BF4 at modest settings. I do have a 2560 screen but I dont mind if the details are adjusted down for the IGP.

Has anyone here tried BF4 on the IGP yet?

AMD doesnt make a low profile gpu worthy of a dual-graphics with this IGP do they?

f5b bios now, 2400mhz @ 10-13-13-33-2T works now, setting ram timings manually seems to work correctly now as well (setting 10-13-13-33 would result in 10-13-12-33 before for example).

106fsb wont post. Didnt try 105 as I ran out of time.

glad you got it working.
what ram are you using with this?
and fsb clocking is limited also try nb @ 2.1

have you tried to tighten up on timings?

[STEvil]

have you tried to tighten up on timings?

Pro 1 and Pro 2 are the 2x8gb 2400hz ram at CR1 and CR2, 1900mhz NB iirc.

Below is 2x4gb mushkin PC3-10700 P/N 993995 (9-9-9@800mhz 1.5v) @ 1.55v. CR2. CR1 didnt want to work and anything over 1.55v is unstable. Cas 13 wont complete GPU tests but will do aida64.
Chips say XHG602B3G-N -125 on them

Upping NB frequency does add to GPU performance fairly decently as well but I think 2100mhz is tops, though I havent looked into how much extra voltage is safe for the NB yet so might be able to squeeze out 2200 daily.

[FlanK3r]

how much volts did you used in APUNB?

[STEvil]

tried up to +.15v. Still have some memory stability issues so I had to back off to 14-10-10 for 3D stability..

[msimax]

2100 nb was the max i got didnt matter cooling or voltage also my chip favored samsung memory.

[STEvil]

Could be thats my max too then, 2200 didnt even post so I just didnt try it further as I was running on a bit of a schedule.
