AMD A8-5600K (Trinity) Review

Overclocking

Overclocking the A8-5600K is pretty simple due to being a Black Edition with an unlocked multiplier, my initial attempt of 4.3GHz breezed through and managed to make it to 4.5GHz fine with 1.55V. When it came to trying to overclock the GPU too it started to get fiddly. Alone the Radeon HD 7560D iGPU was stable for just over 1GHz but when combined with the 4.5GHz CPU OC the system wouldn't remain stable until adding more volts to the CPU NB, boosting the CPU NB volts to 1.25V proved fruitful with the iGPU at 950MHz and I managed to bump the NB frequency to 2000MHz too.
