Dear community,
I am planning on upgrading my aging desktop (X2 4800+, AMD 780G, HD3850, 2GB DDR R800).
Hence I would like to go for an A10 6800k plus some A85X mainboard.
I want to hook the setup to 2 x 4GB DDR 2400 modules.
My experience with my current 780G based mainboard is not all that positive, the north bridge hits crazy temperatures (up to over 100°C). Its has a tiny heat sink (I had to direct a fan at it and open the casing while gaming).
My question is, A85X does not natively support DDR 2400 and would require some overclocking.
This would probably lead to a higher amount of heat generation right ?
I've seen a number of some neat A85X mainboards online, but not all of them have somewhat large heat sinks (see MSI FM2-A85XA-G65 for instance).
Any comments or suggestions are welcomed.
chill,
p.s. I do plan to do some overclocking of the APU.
