windwithme Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 AMD launched Llano APU with FM1 socket in July 2011. Later on, AMD launched Socket FM2 in Oct 2012. FM2 and FM1 CPU sockets are not compatible. Please be aware of it before upgrade. In the past, the advantage of AMD platform was compatible sockets. It Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
windwithme Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 UEFI Screen CPU Clock Ratio adjusts from 38 to 45. It means OC 5800K to 4.5GHz. DDR3 enables Extreme Memory Profile to run at 2133. DRAM Advanced Parameters, manually setup as CL10 11-9-32 Voltage Page CPU Vcore 0.80000~2.30000V DRAM Voltage 1.100~2.620V CPU set as 1.46250V and DRAM set as 1.600V PC Health Status As OC setup above, the CPU temperature is over 41 degree C.

windwithme Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 FRYRENDER Running Time => 10m 39s x264 FHD Benchmark => 13 PCMARK7 => 3644 Windows8 Experience Index - CPU 7.4 FM2 5800K clock after OC is much higher than FM1 3850. As 5800K using dual module quad core structure, the clock and OC ability are improved a lot. If we just look at performance in CINEBENCH, the CPU single and multiple threads numbers are as below. FM2 5800K OC 4492MHz and i3-3220 default 3293MHz. i3-3220 Single Core CPU is 26.2% higher, and 5800K multi-CPU is 14.5% higher. FM2 5800K OC 4492MHz and FM1 3850 OC 3540MHz 3850 Single Core CPU is 14.8% higher and 5800K multi-CPU is 7.4% more. As multi-tasking Fritz Chess Benchmark, these 3 CPUs performance is similar.

windwithme Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Temperature(Room is 22?C) Enter to OS Desktop - 40 CPU Full Speed - 55 LinX 0.6.4 Disabling AMD C&Q power saving feature do testing. 32nm APU and FX CPU are low temperature in most software. Sometimes, even lower than room temperature, like 8~16. As CPU is not thermoelectric Cooling, it should be higher than room after power on.

windwithme Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) GIGABYTE F2A85X-UP4 Pros 1. Black PCB with good quality. Trinity APU structure makes high end MB parity. 2. Using IR3550 PowlRstage PWM to lower MOSFET tmeperature 3. 7 SATA3 and 1 eSATA3 for better expandability 4. IO has 4 different video output ports and supports 4 USB 3.0 devices 5. Build in debug LED and 3 buttons for bare system users Cons 1. CPU full speed power consumption is too high 2. Better to have 2 PCI slots Performance ?????????? 81/100 Components ?????????? 86/100 Specifications ?????????? 88/100 Appearance ?????????? 83/100 C/P Value ?????????? 82/100 As the test above, you can see the difference between FM2 Trinity APU and FM1 Llano APU. Trinity APU advantage is CPU clock can pull high and DDR3 clock is one level higher as well. Temperature and power consumption are similar as they are both 32nm. 5800K built-in 3D performance improves a lot, especially in DX11 supported games. Latest Trinity APU still focus in mid to low end market to provide more parity options. New chipset specs are better than A75 and supporting more SATA3. If you own FM1 already, you don Edited March 23, 2013 by windwithme Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
