So I just received the HDD that I needed to get this PC running:
----------------------------------------A8-5600k overclocked at 3.99 GHZ MSI FM2-A55-E33 4GB 1600MHZ DDR3 HDD 500GB Everything seems to be working fine. I can't, however, measure the temps very well: HWmonitor shows almost 90 celsius for the "package" part. I have learned that measuring temps in APU's is somewhat difficult. I read somewhere that GPU-Z has the best result since the GPU is together with the CPU. Currently, using an AM3 Phenom II stock cooler (I removed the FM2 one because I thought the APU was too hot) it shows 64 celsius with WCG running on all 4 cores plus the GPU overclocked at 950mhz from the stock 760mhz (GPU-Z temps). I hope the GPU-Z temps are right... Also, 11-02-2014 21:41:49 | | Benchmark results: 11-02-2014 21:41:49 | | Number of CPUs: 4 11-02-2014 21:41:49 | | 1657 floating point MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU 11-02-2014 21:41:49 | | 7230 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU Anyone got any figures from this APU to compare? And I thought this was rather funny: 11-02-2014 20:51:52 | | CAL: ATI GPU 0: AMD Radeon HD 7400/7500/7600 series (Trinity) (CAL version 1.4.1848, 512MB, 480MB available, 1144 GFLOPS peak) 11-02-2014 20:51:52 | | OpenCL: AMD/ATI GPU 0: AMD Radeon HD 7400/7500/7600 series (Trinity) (driver version 1348.5 (VM), device version OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP (1348.5), 512MB, 480MB available, 1144 GFLOPS peak) 1144 Gigaflops? I think that is a bit too much for this card, isn't it? Even at the 760mhz setting, it read over 900 Gigaflops. Power usage is 116 watts.  - AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF 6C/12T 3.2 GHz - 85W - AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 4C/8T 2.0 GHz - 28W - AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 8C/16T 3.0 GHz [Edit 3 times, last edit by Falconet at Feb 12, 2014 11:59:18 AM] |

Falconet, I can't comment on the CPU temps, as I have no experience of this one.
----------------------------------------On the GPU, the speed of the CPU is know to effect the prformance of the GPU. when it comes to crunching, this is usually reflected in the Gigaflops. Just watch the temp of the GPU is you're going to crunch with it. If you reduce the o/c on the CPU you are likely to find that it will return better PPW as previous tests and data posted by myself and others have indicated oc'ing increases power usage more than it does the ooutput in most cases. Sme test may be required to confirm it in this case...
Mamajuanauk is the Name! Crunching is the Game!

Yeah, that might be the case. Just thought it was weird since AMD says it has 768Gflops of power or something similar. Although switching from 3.6GHZ to 3.99GHZ seems to have no effect on the card. It's when I change the core clock that it changes.
----------------------------------------At 3.6GHZ the whole PC uses 103 watts and it uses 13 watts more when overclocked to 3.99 GHZ. - AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF 6C/12T 3.2 GHz - 85W - AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 4C/8T 2.0 GHz - 28W - AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 8C/16T 3.0 GHz [Edit 1 times, last edit by Falconet at Feb 11, 2014 10:31:45 PM] |

Thanks AgrFan,
----------------------------------------I feel like the floating point MIPS are somewhat low on this APU but it seems to crunch FAAH tasks at the same/slightly faster rate as my Athlon II X2 4450e overclocked at 3.5GHZ (from 2.8) does. And using pretty much the same power but with two extra cores! 12-02-2014 11:56:54 | | Number of CPUs: 2 12-02-2014 11:56:54 | | 3514 floating point MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU 12-02-2014 11:56:54 | | 7308 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU Can the RAM have any effect on floating point performance? - AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF 6C/12T 3.2 GHz - 85W - AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 4C/8T 2.0 GHz - 28W - AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 8C/16T 3.0 GHz [Edit 2 times, last edit by Falconet at Feb 12, 2014 12:00:35 PM] |
