I’m at a loss… I have near identical components… SSD, same mobo, same apu, a corsair 650w psu… I have 2400mhz memory but haven’t been able to get it stable at 2400.

So I run it at 2133 and ALL of my benchmarks are worse than yours. Same drivers on a fresh OS build.

Anyone have any recommended troubleshooting? I have no idea how to tell if my memory, APU or board is bad. At 2133 I’m like 20 FPS under on the moon than him at 1600mhz memory…

Try to rise the FSB to 233+ MHz, lower the multi and set the NB clock beyond 2.6 GHz and see what happens :)…

Just spotted the comment saying you’re getting 2400 sticks in a few days.. No need cos the performance difference between 2133 and 2400 is like 2% so save your money.

you would have to be a complete noob to make a noob error like buying 1600 ddr3 to go with an APU and then wonder why performance is crap. Just the jump between 1600 and G-Skill 8GB Ripjaws X DDR3 2133 Dual Kit is an instant 25% performance increase.

Sorry for all the comments, I just noticed the ram you’re using might be stable at 1866 @ ~ 1.6-1.65v 10-10-30-10-40

Anyways, neat little review. Once you get that ram, you should do a faster ram plus overclocking update, tons of untapped headroom!

NEVER use 1600 for an AMD apu…NEVER

It strangles performance across the board.

Did you try HWiNFO for monitoring?

“Riot64 says:
Definitely, you should test your APU with DDR3-2400, even up. You’ll be very surprised ”

Thanks for the tip. I will do some tests as soon as I get some DDR 2400 modules.

I think that the test results would be different if one uses DDR-2400.

No one builds to an APU, DDR-1333 or DDR-1600’s.
