I did a swap of components from one system to the other, in web browing and productivity it feels faster than my i3 3220, it definitely feels slower in gaming but with my 7750 it is still acceptable. I am really enjoying not hearing the cpu fan. It does everything well that I need to do. This...

I won't even bother with iGPU testing, I tried the iGPU out in Rust at 1440x900 and it was choppy even with all settings on low. The iGPU should be fine for web browsing and watching videos but I would not suggest doing any modern gaming on it.

$117.16 for CPU/Motherboard. I had all the other parts in an i3 system that I just transferred over. I only ended up paying $21 out of pocket because I had $96 in amazon gift cards from survey sites.

Chrome (20 tabs), firefox (20 tabs), Audacity, Music Creator 5 LE, Virtual box, Steam, Libre Office, VLC.

My average ram usage is 9 to 11 gigs currently. I plan to bump it up to 16 gigs soon.

I bumped the voltage slightly to 1.32. After using this system for several days now I am quite impressed with it. I use many tabs in both chrome and firefox (20+) in each and with 4 actual cores it is smoother with what I do than it was with my i3 3220.

I don't have any usb 3 devices, I use a single usb 2 port connected to a 10 port powered usb hub. Everything is working well so far I ran the heaven benchmark overnight and all was well.

Not much that I did in the bios, I set the bus speed to 133 and the multiplier to 19. I also set my ram timings to 10-10-10-24-33.

Going to do some tweaking later today when I have the time. I might be able to get another 100 MHz out of this cpu. I got my Cinebench R15 score up to 194.

I am using the Asus AM1L-A board. I do a bit of audio editing and have a 4 gig ram drive for scratch/temp files. I will post some screenshots in a little bit.

Fairly excited about the system so far. The specs are the following. AMD 5350 @2.5Ghz Asus AM1L-A 12 Gigs of Crucial ballistix ram OCZ Agility3 60GB Crucial M500 120 GB AMD HD7750 So far I have only run cinebench r15 with a score of 178. I need to pickup a cheap PSU so I can bench this...

These might be decent for low power/cost render farms also.

In about a week when I get my 5350 I will run a few benchmarks between the 5350, a Celeron g530 and a Core i3 3220 with them all at the same clock speed with a HD 7750. It will be interesting to see the results.

I just ordered a 5350 and the Asus MITX board. It should be a nice little system.
