High temperatures in packaging and the A10-7850k APU
I observed that the temperatures in my a10-7850k package are quite high. I increased the clock speed to 4.2 GHz with a 1.4V voltage setting. The idle temps were around 65°C and reached 105°C during stress tests. Core temps stayed between 20-25°C at idle and peaked at 60°C under load. Is this typical? Also, using the stock 4.0GHz voltage didn’t make much difference, only a few degrees of improvement. The specs mention an A88X Plus with 16GB RAM and a 1866MHz cryogenic cooler. I used hwinfo for tracking and ran several stress tests.
It's a 95W TDP CPU, which is quite high. For AMD, this places it near the top tier. Regarding the cooling solution, you should choose between a compact unit or a larger one depending on your space and budget.
Airflow in the case? When you run at 1.4v and push the iGPU, expect significant heat buildup.
