Underclocking/Undervolting AMD Llano 3870k CPU

[HumanBlur]

Hi Guys first time on this forum.

I've got a new build coming up and hopefully should have it built very very soon, maybe next week.

I am again hopefully going to put this in the Asus F1A75-I DELUXE, stock permitting.

I was wondering if people have had any luck in underclocking this and undervolting this. I am wanting to save as much power as possible while retaining a good performance.

Anyone have any ideas?

Its quite a shame the Trinity A10 CPUs and the associated FM2 mini-ITX motherboards are not out for a few more months - they look really impressive IMHO!!

This thread is worth reading:

It uses the same motherboard you are considering and an A8-3850.

Thanks for that.

Very very interesting. Worried about fitting the CPU heat sink. Don't have the budget to screw anything up really.

Interesting reading that CAT - will have to see how far under my new A6-3670k will go Low power was a big feature of my choices with the Sempy/785G setup - wonder how close I can get the A6 to my desired 50W peak draw...
