Thats the higher end version mine just has the APU in it, or thats what I thought. These cases use dual motherboards, since 3 of the models have a dedicated GPU as well. What wierd is you can easily remove the bottom board (the bottom of which has all your barebones access stuff, RAm, WiFi...

yeah i am trying to figure out exactly what that throttle point is on this chip that overdrive is reporting. I know that on desktop fx chips i have worked with its 70C, as reported in the guide as well. I am just trying to figure out if that holds true for the mobile. I have seen the max...

Yeah basically i am using the thermal margins to figure out what my core temps are since everest and HWmonitor are reporting load temps in 160C, which i know is not possible. I havn't had a thermal shut down yet so I would assume I am doing ok, the most i have seen is -20 over thermal load...

I get how the thermal margins work, what I am trying to figure out is if that max temp is still 70C for the mobile chips like it is for the desktop chips. Thanks for the answers so far

yeah thats what I meant by heatspreader. I saw on CPU boss they said max CPU operating temp was 105c is that the thermal margin in Overdrive?

I recently got my first modern mobile AMD chip (A8-5557m) I know that on almost all the desktop CPUs the Thermal margin is 70C, I was wondering if this was the same on the mobile chips? I saw in the AMD Overdrive user manual under cpu status it said "Thermal Margin indicates how far the...

I would try maybe re-installing windows again, since my 8320 was also usually around 30-40c in bios with the stock HSF so its prob not a heat issue. Before reinstalling windows boot into safemode and see if it still crashes after 10 min or so. To boot into safe mode press F8 at start up until...

your pretty much stuck with the low wattage chips, you can try undervolting it to try and get the turbo to be used more but it has minimal performance difference on the low wattage chips compared to the standard wattage and desktop chips.

sorry to chime in late but I run a 8320 on a Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 without issue at 4.2ghz on all 8 cores, i havn't really tinkered with it since I built the system since I needed my computer to just be up and working as I worked on another system at the same time. But its been rock solid at...

So i have a Toshiba Laptop I have owned for a couple weeks now. It has a core i7 4700mq inside so when i am gaming or doing video work I expect to hear the fan speed kick up. But for some reason when ever i let the display turn off the fan speed kicks up to a high rpm. I figured it was a...
