I'll be upgrading my computer very soon. Got all the parts, except for the CPU, which is taking ages to arrive . Anyway, I was wondering if the Athlon X4 760K Richland (Black Edition) would support PCI-e 3.0. Does anyone know if it supports that or not?

Hello everyone. I have the a10-6700 Richland and I'm aware that it can't be overclocked with the multiplier because it's locked. However, it can be overclocked with the APU Frequency which also overclocks the RAM. I have tried to overclock twice, the first time by changing the APU Frequency to 114 then 113. At 114 it flat out failed, it told me so. At 113 it didn't take either and Windows 8.1 did the automatic repair and everything is fine. Does anyone know if there is another setting in the BIOS that needs to be changed in order for this to work? System is: a10-6700 Richland (Locked) ASUS A88xm-a motherboard AMD RAM at 1866(with A.M.P) 1.500v and 9-10-9-27 Power supply can handle a mild overclock I am wondering if having A.M.P enabled is the problem. Should I set the RAM to D.O.C.P(I think that's what it is lol)? Thank you for all your help!

Hi LTT community, So I have built the following for a budget gaming build and would like some advice on overclocking please. Part list: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/mrbrooks/saved/cF76Mp CPU: AMD Athlon X4 760K 3.8GHz Quad-Core Processor (Purchased For £38.20) CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler (Purchased For £24.97) Motherboard: Asus A88XM-PLUS/CSM Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard (Purchased For £36.95) Memory: Kingston Fury White Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory (Purchased For £59.98) Storage: Crucial MX100 512GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (Purchased For £142.54) Storage: Western Digital WD Blue 1TB 2.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive (Purchased For £0.00) Video Card: Gigabyte Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition 3GB Video Card (Purchased For £115.00) Case: Cooler Master N200 MicroATX Mid Tower Case (Purchased For £36.92) Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply (Purchased For £63.31) Based on my reading online, the 760K, should overclock quite well. I know, some chips might be binned better, but I feel like a 4.5 GHz overclock should be possible. So far I have overclocked my AMD 760k to 4.2 GHz, by setting multiplier to 42x and voltage to 1.4125 in the uefi bios. Northbridge is at 2200MHz with +0.0125V as well, this seems to improve memory performance and I was recommended to have 1.25:1 NB:Memory speed ratio. I have not disabled any power saving features. I have disabled turbo core however. I have run prime 95 for several hours on my 4.2 GHz overclock with small FFTs and it has not crashed. Any advice on how to get to a nice & stable 4.5-4.6 GHz overclock? What should I do next? I have tried to increase multiplier further and increase voltage a bit, but no stability. Are the power saving features preventing me from attaining this? I would quite like to keep some power saving features enabled so that when my PC is idle, it does not keep chugging power. Any advice is highly welcomed. Merry Christmas BTW and if you're reading this in 2015, then Happy New Year too.

A couple days ago i made this news topic: AMD loses it's second place in microprocessor marked sales. Members where already quick to conclude that AMD will fight back by expanding their marked share in converged hybrid devices (consoles and tablets) And this has now been confirmed by AMD: New codename "Temash" A4 and A6 processors. AMD also announced their codename "Kabini" processors. These are meant to go up against intel's ivy bridge i3 processors, AMD hopes that they will be used in "performance tablets". So they are should be in between the atom and the i3 at a compelling price. This is of course also a response to the rapid increase of ARM processors. And finally there is the Richland series. These are not full systems-on-chips, but rather what AMD calls "APUs;" accelerated processing units. These are meant to go up against the i3's and i5's. For more details just go to the source article: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/05/amd-aims-to-win-the-converged-device-era-with-new-xbox-one-like-chips/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+arstechnica%2Findex+(Ars+Technica+-+All+content) EDIT I just noticed that someone already made a post about the new SKU's http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/19016-amd-launches-new-processors/ it wasn't there when i decided to make this post :P, anyway this one also has the specs and some more info.

MSI A78M-E45 Motherboard Introduction MSI A78M-E45 is a mid-entry level motherboard for simple APU gaming machines and home entertainment PCs. It's aggressively priced and I managed to get hold on this motherboard from the store for approx. 54 USD(Sweden). Even-though it is a entry level motherboard it has overclocking features, quiet a beefy VRM heatsink, Four Dimm slots and two physical 16x PCIe slots, the bottom one is only 4x electrical. Box Front Box Rear Included Accessories A quick look in the box. The I/O Shield is plain metallic with punched markings for which connector is which. There are 2 high quality sata cables with straight to 90° angled connectors with latches. Simple white/black colours. What I actually freaked out a bit over was the really nice sized motherboard manual. It's brilliant. Far smaller than the regular one. Better for the environment and easier to handle with one hand, perfect! Included Chipset AMDs newest FM2+ Platform is a revised version of the FM2 platform, the specific chipset this motherboard is built upon is the model A78, also known as Bolton-D3. The chipset features nothing especially spectacular but full native USB 3.0, AHCI Sata controller running 6x 6Gb/s sata connections and supports raid 0, 1 and 10. The total TDP of the chipset is approx. 8W making the platform fairly low power driven compared to older chipsets and platforms. When combined with a FM2+ APU the motherboard supports PCIe 3.0 but runs on the integrated PCIe controller of the CPU, meaning that the FM2 processor will be limited to "only" PCIe 2.0. The LAN is a 1Gb/s integrated controller so ample of bandwidth. Integrated Peripherals MSI have designed this motherboard fairly well, the Chipset is decent featuring most of the features one might want and need for a mother PC. However, the Audio chipset integrated on the motherboard might leave some left to desire, although the Audio chip supports 7.1Channels HD Audio it is only an analog out, there is no Digital auto. Also the performance and fidelity given of the Realtek ALC887, is not the best. It does the job, but that is about it. Persons using USB-driven Headphones, a TV through HDMI or cheap PC Speakers might not care. But for those audiophiles and analog headphone users might wanna look at some other DACs. Internal Layout and Aesthetics Considering this is one of the mid-entry level motherboards it is in my honest opinion on of the better looking motherboards. The PCB itself is actually a brown tint which makes the black connectors blacker, and the blue brighter. Neat! The layout is simple yet clever. Layout The 1x PCIe is unfortunately beneath the 16x PCIe graphics slot rendering the use of a WiFi, capture or sound card much harder. Placing this 1x slot on the top would have made much more sense sin the clearance for a big air cooler would be far greater when no card in the 1x would be in use. The next PCIe is on the bottom making it suitable for a second graphics card in cases with five expansion slots such as the BitFenix Phenom with an extra gap between the two cards. The VRM Heatsink is impressive considering the price and competitions closest lineups. Might help with overclocking. The Auxiliary CPU power is only a 4pin which limits the power to the socket from the PSU directly to only 150Ws. Completely sufficient, remember, the motherboards supply some power aswell. Considering the power usage of a AMD A10 7850k should be far be low the total of 150W overclocked so there is no reason to despair. VRM Heatsink What I find the Motherboard lacking is the amount of fan headers. There is a 4-pin CPUFan, a 4-pin SysFan and a 3-pin SysFan, that's it. Something which severely limits the amount of supported fan without the use of adapters. Personally I'd like to see at least one more 3-pin. Preferable 2more for a total of 4 SysFans. There are 8 mounting holes(the MSI website states 6 which is wrong) and the motherboard is a full size mATX in width. The PCB is the same MSI use for higher end cards indicated of the vacant slot for 2 additional Sata Ports. Vacant slot for Sata-ports Memory The motherboard features four Memory slots capable of supporting up to 64GB of Ram, it does not on the other-hand support ECC-memory which limits the actual memory to a maximum of 32GB since there is no real supply of 16GB non-ECC ram as of yet. It supports memory speeds a maximum of 2133MHz which puts it on par with the integrated Memory Controller in the AMD APU flagships, clever design. It utilities a dual channel design and supports both AMP (AMD Memory Profile) and XMP (Extreme Memory Profile). UEFI Still in progress. Connectivity There is a fair bit of connectivity on the motherboard. The HDMI also is 4k resolution capable. I would really like a DisplayPort connector though. I/O Panel Summary This is a really interesting motherboard, MSI have taken a sub $70 mATX motherboard with both decent cooling for the power phases and VRM and enabled both CrossfireX and lots of Ram-expandability making this motherboard really attractive for a simple cheap machine.

Pretty much up there, since an APU rig may appeal to me if it works with a 7770. Also, could I Hybrid Crossfire the 7770 with an A10-6800K since it is nearly the same card as the 7750? One more thing. Can someone find me a decent motherboard (form factor doesn't matter) with the A88 chipset and FM2+ socket that would support the above? I appreciate it. (No ASUS boards, they are too bling.) I will consider ASUS actually. @NohbodyKnows

sooooooo I just went from richland apu to kaveri last night. Windows 8.1 refused to boot and kept saying certain files were missing from system files everytime i tried to boot so from what ive read Kaveri doesnt like dual channel memory so i reset cmos and took off dual channel in UEFI. then my rig worked perfectly fine last night played everything i wanted and overall it worked. this morning it worked as well. But the issue arose when i got home from work and turned on my rig and i come to see that dreaded watermark "Windows 8.1 build 9600" my windows is genuine i paid for it. so after messing with some things and trying to make a bootable usb to just nuke it and start over the windows upgrade assistant wouldnt accept my key. (last resort) I decided to turn to windows support and talked to this girl and she couldnt figure it out and told me i had to pay 99-149$ for service and i refused to pay. so after about 1.5 hours of her pitching this s*** to me and me bitching how much theyre scumbags for one fix she finally got the key to work so i can make a bootable usb. With all that being said my computer feels so "buggy" even playing games that ran smoothly last night run very unsmooth tonight while waiting for windows to download. i also noticed my network speed is super slow at 3mbps while i normally get 50-60 i just find it so weird how this happened. Rig: A10-7850k msi A88x-G45 msi twin frozr r9-270 3gb 16 gb g.skill sniper 2133(can only run at 1600 now since kaveri) evga 650b supernova

Hey guys I am building another computer and this one is going to be for myself. I have built 2 computers, a computer for myself, and one for my grandma. The build I am thinking about building is only going to be used once every 2 weeks or so, so I dont need a high end Pc so thats why my plan is the new Amd Apu's (Richland). My budget is $450 (American) without a monitor and such. Preffered Retailer- Ncix because I can price match newegg and amazon. Newegg is an option also because I have used newgg and had no problems, but I just want to try Ncix. (Ncix US by the way) Monitors and Such- Ill add it to a seperate cost Overclocking- I overclock on my main computer and on this one i dont need to Custom Water Cooling- No Operating System- Dont include it, I can find one I do not Plan on Bitcoin Mining Settings- I dont care it an apu and im using this computer rarely Resolution- 1920x1080 Games- All kind of games really but on this computer, Maybe Indie Games and some onlinne games such as Counter Strike or Tf2, in the future Cod Ghosts (I hate Cod But im willing to give the new engine a try). Rendering- I will not be rendering anything on this machine Peripherals- I'll find them myself Other Notes: I dont need richland, any build will be fine considering this build will be used rarely, but I want preserve this build for as long as possible. Also, I dont need an SSD, I love them, but to keep budget down, a 500gb HDD will be more than great. I wouldnt mind micro atx because its cheaper as well as smaller and can stay out of the way, but one case i prefer is a Fractel Design Core 1000 because it's cheap and I have experience building on this case for my Grandma's Pc. No Need to add extra fans a have a bunch of 120mm's and 80mm's lying around and this case supports both. And I want the motherboard ready out of the box so I dont need to do a bios update. Thank you guys for checking this out and possibly helping me, it will be a big help if you can. And sorry for such a big post I just wanted to go in detail for you guys and sorry for not having a pcpartpicker link, again thanks and have a good day.

Do you all think that getting an APU system and upgrading it further when you can is a good path to go down? Say starting of with Just the basics and then adding a higher-end discrete GPU later?
