Although, I would prefer to put 8GB of RAM and a 120GB SSD in them. Could build a really cheap rig for donation use with those FM1 and some cheap boot drives. I think that I have some 80GB HDDs too, somewhere, that tested good. I picked up some 160GB "refurb" (zero POH) WD HDDs a while back for $15 ea. (If I had a business customer, I would probably direct them to a Haswell Celeron G1820, picked up a few of those and mobos recently too.)Įdit: Could build some "donation PCs" with them too.

But comparing the FM1 A4-3300 in Win7 64-bit (with 8GB DDR3-1600 dual-channel RAM), to an A4-6300 FM2 in Linux, with a similar RAM setup, the FM1 seemed a little snappier? Maybe it's just the lack of good video drivers in Linux? Or maybe the module concept, and Bulldozer and derivatives, just suck? Either way, cheap fun, I guess. Because it seems like that's all that those ECS A55 boards will do reliably. I hope that I can run them at 105 bus speed, for nearly 3Ghz. So yes, I did buy three more of those mobos, and three of the A4-3420 APUs. They might be only available in single qtys used from individuals. Plus, there's no telling if they will be available "new" in a year. I'm through trying to OC this machine, FM1 is garbage for OCing.Ĭlick to expand.Well, I didn't want to wait around for a whole year for them to drop in price. Unsure if that was an HDMI issue, or what. Had to Clear CMOS several times when attempting 115, because it wouldn't even boot to BIOS. I had to power-off at the back of the PSU, and then try to boot again. Also, restarting and attempting to enter the BIOS again was fruitless. I'll try that.Įdit: I got it to boot one time at 115, but now I can't. The second link mentions setting SATA mode to IDE. I forgot which platform though, maybe AM1? Is FM1 the same way? No go.)Įdit: Btw, is there any issue OCing when using the HDMI-out on the mobo? I seem to recall some issues OCing certain platforms while using the HDMI output wouldn't work, you had to use the VGA-out. Likewise, I tried setting the memory freq. I tried enabling the IGD OC feature, and then changing the freq from 600 to 400 (attempt to underclock. So I tried 115, and had to clear CMOS, couldn't even boot BIOS. I tried setting CPU overclock to Enabled, changed the bus freq from 100 to 105, it booted Win7 64-bit, I ended up with 2.625-2.630Ghz.
Waltchan, you said you got your A4-3300 up to 3.1Ghz on this ECS A55 board. At least this machine has an HDMI-output. Which, the rig it may be replacing is an E5200, with a 500GB 7200RPM desktop HDD, and G41 GMA graphics. It's basically like a much-improved E5200, with a better IGP. I don't have NoScript installed, and there are ads on this forum, but between the GPU acceleration, lack of Flash Player, and the 120GB Corsair SSD, it's still fairly snappy. I'm sure that the GPU acceleration helps a bit here as well. I've been doing WU, after a fresh install, and the CPU is pinned at 100%, and I can still listen to internet radio and browse this forum with Firefox, no problem. more responsive than the single-module 3.7Ghz Richland CPUs? Could it be because they have two real cores? These might be older chips, and may not clock nearly as high as the FM2 Richland CPUs, but they feel. Currently using the video drivers that installed off of the CD that came with the mobo (so likely to be very out-of-date).Įdit: Using this rig to browse the forum (not overclocked, 2.5Ghz dual-core FM1), I'm fairly impressed. Wondering if Catalyst 15.12 will run, or if the hardware is too legacy for that driver. It all came together pretty easily, and if he had screwed something up, well, I've got more boards + CPUs where that came from.Įdit: Waltchan, or anyone else - what video drivers are you using for the A4-3300 FM1 APU / iGPU? I've put Win7 64-bit on here. I think I might have helped him with that step. Got a little stressed when it came time to connect the front-panel I/O wires, since they weren't labeled on the motherboard, and we had to dig out the instruction sheet for the mobo. He managed it pretty well, actually, given that he's not a strong tech-y.

Well, I decided to use these older (but "new") parts, to teach a friend that I do computer work for, how to build a computer.
