UNDERVOLTING RESULTS: HOW LOW CAN YOU GO?

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2014

Verified Purchase

The stock clocks with turbo disabled tested more than good enough for my HTPC build, so I concentrated on lowest energy use and heat. Stability testing was done with IntelBurnTest, 3DMark11 and Furmark. Post/boot tests showed that NB/GFX voltage could not go quite as low as they could in Windows, but the difference was minimal. The voltages below are fully stable and what I am running at now:

CPU = 1.125 volts (BIOS) stable for 1 hour IBT (30+ passes)
NB/GFX = 0.975 volts (BIOS) stable 3DMark11 (multiple passes) and 3 hours Furmark

Energy use tested at wall with Kill-a-Watt (monitor not included):

Sleep = 2 watts; Windows desktop @ idle = 17 watts; Netflix HD movie streaming = 25-30 watts; IBT = 49 watts; Furmark = 58 watts

The numbers say it all. All around efficient little processor for HTPC.

Good multi-role processor choice

Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2015

Verified Purchase

Selected this for a custom build for a computer for a music teacher. It is the dual-core version, but the program she uses favors clocks, not cores, so I slimmed the build costs by going dual instead of quad core. This is the ninth box I have built with the A-series of APUs, and not one has failed to impress. There are stronger chips out there, but these have a rare balance between high graphics capability without a card and good computing power without the high price. I tend to use these chips in Media/HTPC builds and in multi-role light- to medium-duty rigs. As a side note, if you want to see what these can do without suffering bottle-necking from other components, use it with DDR3/1866 or better RAM and a SSD instead of a platter drive. The bottlenecking of platter drives hurts these chips disproportionately and the faster the RAM, the tighter the GPU side runs, which gives better performance. Also, I have noticed that most versions of Linux do not have very good chipset drivers for the A-series, as compared to the Windows versions.

Nice!

Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2016

Verified Purchase

I used this CPU on an Asrock FM2A68M-DG3+ motherboard to update the BIOS so I could use the new FM2+ Carrizo CPUs. It ran a little hot when idle but it may have been a bad mount. I can't really push it as I need to get more RAM and a new hard drive before I can really test it. I did have it running with a GTX 750Ti and I really didn't see too many problems. I think the issues that I saw was from the 2GB DDR3 1033MHz stick of RAM and the really slow, old SATA drive I had lying around. My first desktop AMD CPU and this will not be the last one I buy.

It's alright

Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2015

Verified Purchase

Contrary to what is displayed on the box, this low budget APU is in fact NOT suited for gaming and/or intensive CPU tasks. It is meant for basic word processing, surfing the web, and other light weight tasks. You will need a FM2 or FM2+ motherboard to use with it. I would suggest to go with the A88X FM2+ board so that the option to upgrade to the AMD Athlon X4 860K will be a possible choice in the future

If you have no plans to upgrade and are building a computer for office use, look at Intel's offerings instead. The Pentium G3220 is a much faster CPU and will excel in all areas over the 5400K asides from integrated graphics. The Intel CPU will have much stronger single core performance compared to AMD's A6.

Great Low Price For Minecraft Server PC

Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2014

Verified Purchase

I bought this processor for two reasons. It was inexpensive and I needed dual core. I use it exclusively as a Minecraft server CPU. It performs really well for the three people I've had play on it. I did notice that the performance is significantly better when you run the server software without the GUI (Probably because this is a CPU/GPU). This isn't any average minecraft server though. I'm running approximately 96 mods with the game which require a lot more processing capability.

Great Processor! Great Price!

Impressive little CPU

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2012

Verified Purchase

I must say I am quite happy with this purchase. I bought this CPU along with RAM, Motherboard, and Case for about $170 all combined...opened up an Amazon Credit Card and got just about everything I needed for an HTPC for about $120 ($50 promotional credit for opening the Amazon Visa).

I am using this CPU mainly as an HTPC. I do not have cable service so I do not use it for any encoding and I cannot comment on how it would do for this, but for web browsing, Youtube, Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, etc, it runs fine.

Netflix on a Windows PC is, unfortunately, very processor intensive due to Silverlight and its DRM requirements, which actually keeps this CPU at around 60-70% when watching HD.

The computer I'm using this CPU in is running Windows Server 2008 R2 and is also functioning as a domain controller with a few roles (DHCP, DNS, Hyper-V with 2 VMs (Win 7 for remote access and Linux for a fileserver) and has not been having any trouble. I have not really tried too much with gaming on this APU but I plan on getting a AMD Radeon HD 6570 discrete graphics card to go along with it in the near future. This is the discrete card which AMD recommends to take advantage of the "Dual Graphics" option for this line of APUs. There are several models of graphics cards with this chipset available on Amazon between $40 and $70 right now and I feel like this would be a worthwhile upgrade should I ever decide to game with this APU.

Great Chip

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2014

Verified Purchase

Great price and handles everything I need in terms of graphics for my HTPC. If you have a big enough case you may want to consider buying a separate heat sink / fan as this little chip can run hot. The heat sink and fan is included with pre-applied thermal paste but I would still recommend a non stock one.

Good All Around CPU

I work from home. My dad bought this to build my computer. It does a wonderful job. I also use it to watch streaming movies and TV. He has it slightly over clocked. The unit reminds cool with only the factory fan. I also played some games on it and the graphics have been very nice.

Bargain Build CPU

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 30, 2013

Verified Purchase

By combining this cpu with a MSI A75 chipset motherboard just add a cheap Micro ATX case with a couple of gig of ram and a now inexpencive to buy 500gb or 1TB hard drive ohh and not forgeting an operating system ( Linux 64bit for about £4 will do ) and you have a really cheap Computer for general everyday tasks but if its games you want to play then for around £80 you can add a ATI Radeon HD 7770 or A NVID GTX460 both of which are a good starter for playing DX11 games.Any way the uprade path is only limited by the amount of money you want to spend. But this is a good inexpencive start even better if you manage to buy a Win7 64bit OS from here or EBay for about £40..

Great for HTPC usage

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 16, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is not the most powerful CPU around but it makes up for it in other ways. It runs very cool with low power usage.
I replaced my 2 year old HTPC components with this CPU and compatible motherboard and my HTPC idle power usage dropped from 50W to 29W. I think most of this was due to no longer needing a separate GPU card and USB3 card.

So I would recommend this CPU for HTPC and general computing usage. If you want to play modern games with high quality look elsewhere. Likewise if you want to do any sort of video encoding then this is not the CPU for you.

Very good but fan is quite loud

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 1, 2013

Verified Purchase

I am very pleased with this.

I just wanted a cheap APU for general PC usage (emails, internet browsing, music etc) and maybe some light gaming, and so far it has been perfect. I've been using it for a month now and have had no problems (for reference I can play Skyrim perfectly on medium settings, which was pleasantly surprising!)

The reason I only give 4 stars is because the fan is very loud. As soon as you turn the PC on there's no ignoring it; this could be annoying if you are going for a HTPC or something so maybe a different CPU fan would be necessary.

Great Processor for the price

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 18, 2014

Verified Purchase

Great little work horse and due to FM2 socket, able to upgrade in the future
Intergrated GPU is well worth it, playing games such as Bioshock on full hitting around 40-50fps
Heatsink could be better and Fan could be quiter, but that's what aftermarket cooling is for.

Overall 4/5
Shipping 5/5 (came early)

great budget processor

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 18, 2013

Verified Purchase

This was a cpu for a budget pc I was making and I'm pretty damn chuffed with it. Of course for 40 quid don't expect much. I thought the fan was loud when I first got it going, but all that was needed was to go into the bios and stop it from being on full throttle all time, so if that's your complaint check your bios settings.
