Product Description

AMD's third generation APU provides another impressive step forward in technology. The Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) boasts 42% of it's genetic make up as GPU based, utilizing the Radeon HD8xxx series, making this the industry's fastest APU. That allows AMD to deliver balanced architectures for future heterogeneous computing while winning at today's gaming, compute, imaging, and video workloads. Nowhere else is the best performance for mainstream computing be found for such an incredible value!

AMD A10-6700 Richland 4.2GHz Socket FM2 65W Quad-Core Desktop Processor AMD Radeon HD AD6700OKHLBOX Review

I upgraded from an AMD Athlon II X4 620 2.6GHZ 95 watt and am very happy with this new APU.

The speakers include a Klipsch RW12D 12-inch Reference Subwooferthat I reviewed Aug. 26, 2013.

This computer is in the media room but it cannot be heard when sitting within 3 feet even during very quiet scenes. This is only after setup of firmware and hardware.

1. By using a separate $40 fan-less video adapter the entire power of the APU is devoted to computing so this system has quite adequate speed for software development and multitasking.

2. By using a power supply with a bottom 120mm intake fan and mounting it in a case that has a filtered bottom air inlet mating to that fan, the power supply never gets warm enough to turn on that fan. The 90mm rear fan is disconnected! The case has 3 120mm exhaust fans which combine with convection forces to move a lot of air. Sadly Enermax no longer makes that power supply.

3. By activating the motherboard push button for "OC Genie" the CPU auto selects speed (1.8 to 4.2 GHz) and voltages while minimizing power use and fan noise.

4. By activating CPU Smart Fan in the MSI Control Center app, setting fan minimum speed @67% control point at 76�C and 91% fan maximum at 90�C, the CPU stays below 90�C and the stock APU fan has very low sound.

A problem I first attributed to the APU was my new 1866 MHz memory stuck at 1333 MHz and AMD incorporates the memory control in the APU. By changing the DDR3 speed from [AUTO] to [1866]in BIOS I sensed a speed improvement and the MSI "BIOS II" app for the first time shows the DDR3 actually running 1866MHz. The MSI "Control Center" app still showed 1333 MHz so something has a bug. The [AUTO] setting should have worked! I was driving the APU to max speed. Emails are still being exchanged with service at MSI on this issue.
