does disabling apu's integrated graphics lowers down temps?

DOES disabling integrated graphics of apu, lessens overheating ??

motherboard; f2a68hm-s1 and amd a4-7300

[TheAmazingCookieFromSquare]

no

[magnus1234]

yes or no?

[magnus1234]

why?

[iamdarkyoshi]

from a quick google search it looks like it might. I think the internal GPU is still running, but in an "idle" state. not sure how much more "idle" it is when disabled vs nothing plugged into it...

[Silverer]

No, save like 1-2C, unless you are using it, in which case, it will be room temperature because your pc wont be displaying anything and might as well be turned off / would be useless.

[soaringchicken]

I don't think so, if it's not actually being used, it simply won't use any power and won't generate any more heat. So physically disabling it probably wouldn't do anything.

yes or no?

a person gets an APU to have CPU+GPU in one, if you disable it, then why did he/she get an APU. Dumb topic IMO.

my motherboard is ; gigabyte f2a68hm-s1 and cpu is amd a4-7300

[magnus1234]

i've been thinking of undervolting it, then run stress test with prime95 but im so unfamiliar with this new bios compared to my previous pc

im not an idiot , thats the only amd cpu available on the market

you have an APU it consists a CPU+GPU in one, if you disable the graphics, the. You would have no graphics, and would need to buy a Discreete, GPU, what do you not get? If tempratures is a problem, then get a better cooler, becuase APU coolers are shit, or replace the thermal paste.

OMG, did you read what you just said.

[magnus1234]

intels are so expensive

intels are so expensive 

price/performance they are pretty much the same price.

[magnus1234]

im honest , i live here in zamboanga city, you no idea about our poor economy , obsolete computer systems being sold everywhre

I would assume that if it's not being used, then is not generating heat.

bakit hindi mo sinabi?

[magnus1234]

i've already done tons of research about that, plus the performance per dollar ratio of the intel vs amd

Hmmm...just grab another CPU fan cooler my friend. Also I hope you have some high speedy RAM for that APU.

i admit im using a low class ram

[magnus1234]

well if i sum it all up with my friends advises plus my researches;

im basically left with 2 options; 1st is to undervolt my pc and, 2nd is to buy a new high performance intercooler for the cpu

bukas ang balikbayan box, tax pa.

para sa akin hindi wisebuy ang magpadeliver ng imported product, una sa lahat yung warranty and customer service para product kailanga malapit lng ang opisina ng retailer  and 2nd mga spare parts o compatible part sa computer component
