Still waiting for AMD FX 8170

Already A10? Hmmm how long to wait for FX 8170 aiyooo.. trisx, just hold on to your 1090T for the time being.

Hahaha bro I was from another ship before. Just hate the monopoly.

Yep. The market monopoly.

Hmmmm AMD APU R-Series
AMD R-Series APUs vs. Intel Core i7,i5, and i3 Processors for Graphics Centric Embedded Applications

Can't wait!

Going to get FX 8350 soon

Upgraded to FX 8350. Damn, should plug in the fan 1st then install the Noctua, it's really a tight fit for HAF 912 with 200mm fan on the top.

Sorry bro don't have PC Mark Vantage in my rig..

Bought mine (FX-8350) from bro lingloong, the best price I've seen in the Malaysian market right now.

That depends on how much you willing to spend. Why not try Phanteks Thermal Solutions PH-TC14PE?

Try ask CyntrixTech, I believe the price is below RM300.

Well doesn't mean the TDP rated 125 W all the time. I did a System Stability Test that stress all your system component to the max, the highest the power usgae by the FX 8350 was around 54 Watt using CPUID Hardware Monitor.

What's the disappointment about?. The APU is CPU+GPU which intended for those who not required a discreet GC, and suitable for those who want to built HTPC and basic gaming on tv set. Even A8 can run Lego Batman/Harry Porter/Star Wars on 1080P without a problem. Less fan less noise, put in on the VESA bracket on your tv and you have SmartTV.

Yummy.. Is that an ITX MOBO?

Are you running in a air-conditioned room and what is the room temp. Due to the fact that it is an APU (CPU+GPU) running games on it will have the temp rise for both. Might as well get a 3rd party cooler to disperse the heat faster from the APU.

Try change fan on the Heatsink like Scythe Gentle Typhoon 120mm - 1850 RPM

General Rule
More surface on the Heat-sink, the more the heat can be disperse quickly
The larger the diameter of the fan, the more surface area it can cover
The higher the static pressure fan rating, the more air can be pushed within the heat-sink fin.
For heat-sink fan always go with the higher static pressure

My bad I didn't realize that EVO can't fit the 120mm fan. Noctua DH-14 using 2 size of fans, 140mm and 120mm while the heatsink on the 2 towers are the same size including Thermalright Silver Arrow. The advantages of using large diameter fan is that you can cool down the heat pipe underneath the Heatsink fins. I managed to squeeze down 5 degrees C more on full load when I'm using GentleTyphoon which I have directed the fan to the heatpipe below. Another solution is if you can use a fan underneath the cpu socket (behind the motherboard).

It's normal. If you want to feel the actual heat using your finger, remove the hea tsink then start your pc. Your rig will automatically shutdown then put your finger on the proc. My A8-3870K running for 70C all the time as my sons playing LEGO games on it for several hours doing just fine without a glitch.
