amazon verified purchase what s this this review is from amd a8-3850 apu with amd radeon 6550 hd graphics 2.9 ghz socket fm1 100w quad-core processor - retail ad3850wngxbox electronics combined with a gigabyte ga-a75-ud4h motherboard 16 gb 4x4gb of g.skill ripjaw x 1866 ddr3 ram and an asus hd 6670 video card hybrid crossfirex dual graphics no problems for anyone building a decent 500 - 1000 moderate-performance build depending on add-ons . great for a htpc my implementation . don t expect miracles - this is a very capable apu using the new amd f1 socket be careful installing the apu ... lots of tiny pins and competes well with i3 or i5 processors . i tested it with crossfirex enabled and disabled and definitely recommend adding the extra hd 6670 6570 or 6450 graphics card . under normal use you would never know the difference - using hd 3d or intense graphics demands and the integrated hd 6650 gets stressed when working alone . for an amd product this is one of the best yet . being a usual intel fan it was difficult to to steer away from my comfort zone . however the cost-savings to acceptable performance index was the factor that influenced my purchase . this product line is for you budget-builders the windows experience index is 6.7 out of 7.9 for this build processor 7.3 memory 7.6 graphics and gaming graphics 6.7 . i pulled my good hard drives out and put wd caviar blue 6.0 gb s drives in for a cool and quiet htpc unfortunately reducing the overall index to 5.9 just the hard drives . that is right the hard drives will hold you back ... bottom-line great processing power excellent 3d capable 1080p graphics both blu-ray or hd streaming built-in with full directx 11 support . i suggest taking advantage of the hybrid crossfirex dual graphics capability . most htpc builds will not require a discrete graphics card addition however . the average user will be impressed . help other customers find the most helpful reviews was this review helpful to you yes

apu with amd radeon 6550 hd graphics 2.9 ghz socket fm1 100w quad-core processor - retail ad3850wngxbox electronics este procesador de 4 nucleos con video integrado es bueno bastante rapido ofrece una tarjeta grafica incluida la cual no es lo suficientemente buena sirve para correr gran cantidad de juegos pero la mayoria con todo en low o en mediun si compran este procesador deben estar al tanto de que sobrecalienta las temperaturas llegan hasta los 65 grados centigrados cuando el procesador esta trabajando al maximo solamente esto se debe a que el gpu y el cpu estan en un mismo chip y el voltage que le llega al cpu es de 1 450 volteos para solucionar ese problema les recomiendo configurar el vcore voltage a 1 300 1.3 v ya que si lo dejan a 1.2 v el la computadora se reiniciara automaticamente muchas veces debido a que no le llega la suficiente energia al cpu para funcionar la habilidad de hacer un crossfire x con el gpu integrado de este procesador no me gusta mucho debido a esos problemas de calentamiento claro si no quieren estar configurando nada ni estar jodiendo con los bios de la motherboard simplemente compren un ventilador pra su cpu ya que el que viene de fabrica no es muy bueno hace su trabajo pero no evita que el procesador alcanze esas temperaturas tan altas help other customers find the most helpful reviews was this review helpful to you yes no
