Nice find! I may pick this up for an upgrade to my HTPC (an old Macbook).
EDIT: Actually the Asrock and Asus boards offer a better deal if you're looking to have USB 3.0 for a few extra euros.

What I hate about APUs is that they leave you with no upgrade path: this includes the low powered Kabinis. If you bought one of the top end chips for a particular APU socket starting all the way back from FM1, AMD gave you no compelling upgrade path on that socket. Besides giving us some more MB...
Actually I connected the Core 1000 fan to a 3-pin CPU fan header which runs it at a lower speed than the 4-pin Chassis header and the 3-pin PSU header. It's currently spinning under 1000rpm and is barely audible.
The local computer shops I go to don't sell 92mm fans unless they're on heatsinks...
I have a fractal design core 1000. Actually I just tried mounting the 120mm to the side but it bumps into my xigmatek loki, so that's not even an option! I should've checked that in advance.
I want to keep the system quiet so I wouldn't want the PSU fan ramping up. Looks like I'll leave...
Hmmm. I forgot to say that the PSU is at the top, sucking hot air off the heatsink out of the case.
Perhaps I'll just experiment and see what yields the coolest temps. I'll report back with the details. First person to guess correctly which yields the coolest temps wins a virtual high five!
No exhaust fan, just the cpu fan and one case fan. I would use it as exhaust except that it's too big: it's 120mm and the exhaust hole is only 92mm.
Still intake? It seems so far away from the action as to not do anything. At least as side intake, it would be throwing cool air right onto the...
I have one 120mm fan that can be mounted in one of two places, and I'm wondering which is better: side intake/exhaust or front intake? I currently have it set to front intake.
I also have a tower cooler with its fan pushing air toward the back of the case, if that makes any difference.
There's...
What about exhausting the side fan?
I was thinking of grabbing a CM 212 EVO, a bit better than the one you pointed too, and not much more. But I have my fans on the lowest setting, ramping up only when the CPU gets above 45C, and temps are reasonable. So....
Temps are no problem. The cpu idles at 27C, normal usage at 32C, and load can get over 45C. I wanted to keep load temperatures down a bit. The cpu ("apu") is an A10-5800K.
I have space for two fans in my case: 1 92mm rear and 1 120mm side. I currenly have 1 120mm front intake. I'm interested in keeping the thing quiet. Sow what's better: the rear exhaust or side intake (or something else)?
I'm guessing if quietness is important, the larger side intake makes more...
Strange that the USB port works though. I guess they're separate somehow.
I'm running Kubuntu 12.10, the KDE derivative of Ubuntu linux. All of this was tested before booting into the OS, though, to avoid "driver"-related issues. (I would enter the boot menu and then start hot-plugging the card...
I have a strange problem. My internal card reader won't read a card until I unplug the reader from the motherboard usb port, and then plug it back in. However, the USB port on the card reader always works. It's just with other flash media, like an SD card.
If that didn't make sense, here's more...
Thanks for the tip. It seems to me that the problem's been solved. No crashing or unusual behaviour yet. If it acts up, I'll look into the mem. controller speed/voltages before I start upping the RAM voltage again.
Just as an update for anyone else having this problem. I swapped the modules to bays A2/B2 and dropped the voltage down to 1.51 from 1.575. ( I'm still hesitant to drop the voltage right down to stock.) After about an hour of gaming, no problems whatsoever. Looks like it was caused by being...
I recently built a new system, an AMD A10-5800K on an ASRock FM2A75 Pro4-M board using an Antec Basiq 450W PSU. If it matters, no expansion (PCIe) cards are installed. I'm using a Corsair Vengeance LP DDR3 2133 8GB (4x2) kit which does not run stably at stock voltage. It's rated to run at 1.5v...
Sorry, that's what I had intended to say actually--Android software, not the OS, makes poor use of the additional power. I guess part of the problem is also that there is barely any differentiation between tablet/phone apps since there are barely any tablet-specific apps.
Is another answer that OSes like Android simply odn't make good use of the additional hardware power? And that the battery usage/performance payoff wouldn't be worth it? Will Windows RT be better in this respect than Android? I mean, better at multithreading, etc?
It seems to me that there should be much faster fanless ARM tablets than currently on the market, given what they cram into a super slim phone like my Galaxy S3. So, why aren't there?
