Luckily the GIGABYTE F2A85X-UP4 shows all these stock values directly in the BIOS. I just recommend to fix all the voltages to their stock value in the BIOS to prevent too high voltages which you might have using the "Auto" settings. Therefor we don't need to do any complicated tests or settings. Some settings might be named different - post in this thread if you need some additional help. Of course you can follow these steps also with different boards. I'm using a GIGABYTE F2A85X-UP4 with an AMD A10-5800K APU for this guide. I recommend to stay away from this temperature by about 10°. The official maximum for the AMD A10-5800K is 74☌. It's essential to check your temperatures during the overclocking all the time. The most important part of the overclocking are your temperatures. You will find more about this in Step 3: Turbo & power saving options This means that the CPU can overclock itself if not all cores are 100% on load to push the speed a little bit.

Usually 115 MHz is no problem which results in about 500 MHz more - enough for 24/7 overclocking.ĪMDs Trinity APUs come along with a Turbo-Mode.


Compared with the latest Intel Z77 chipset you can raise the BCLK a little bit more. If you're using a CPU without "K" suffix you have to overclock by raising the BCLK. However I recommend to change some more settings to improve your setup. You just have to enter the BIOS and raise the CPU multi by one to gain 100 MHz CPU clock. Same goes for the memory clock which also results from the BCLK and a multi.ġ01,47 BCLK x 44 Multi = 4464 MHz CPU clockġ01,47 BCLK x 13.33 Multi = 1353 MHz RAM clockĪssumed you got a CPU with a "K" suffix the overclocking is very easy. The CPU clock is a result of the Base-Clock (BCLK) and the CPU multiplier (multi). Here you can see a small overview of the Trinity APUs: Reading this guide you might realise that the overclocking of these APUs is quite similar to the Llano or Bulldozer CPUs. This APU includes the HD 7660 D graphics. Therefor I am using the F2A85X-UP4 from GIGABYTE for this OC-Guide with an AMD A10-5800K. The latest A85X chipset was published with the AMD Trinity APUs and provides the best features and OC-configurations for Trinity. You can find them with the chipsets A55, A75 and A85X. This includes the said AMD APUs and a appropriate Mainboard. Step 2: Reference clock and CPU multiplierĪMD Trinity is part of the Virgo platform. In this guide I'd like to show to you how you can get a lot of free power using these APUs. In my review of the brand new GIGABYTE F2A85X-UP4 I already provided a more detailed look on the new performance and features. On the 2nd of October AMD published the Trinity APUs. Man, do I have a great read for you today! A friend from Germany who goes by the nickname der8auer on the forums has put together a fantastic AMD Trinity based overclocking guide which I wanted to share with you all.
