Bit late if it isnt

Looks fine, you haven't put in a different cooler for the CPU but you don't need one. And that case...

Should have stuck with the ram in the spec.

why are the ripjaws bad?

pastymuncher · 28 Dec 2012 at 19:29

They are not bad, just that fast ram is best for getting the most out of the onchip graphics.

how hard is it to crossfire the onchip and the 6670?

No, it`s` just that the Cpu and iGPU require faster ram to maximise the OC, to give you better graphics.

vergals · 28 Dec 2012 at 19:38

You cant crossfire onboard graphics with a dedicated card. thats not how that works.
You may be able to run monitors out of both though. i can with my Intel hd3000 onboard stuff.

You can crossfire the latest AMD graphics APUs with AMD/ATI graphics cards, there are certain combinations that work.

Here is an article that shows you what I mean.

You can use a HD6670 for Hybrid xfire.

Bromhead · 29 Dec 2012 at 04:19

You can crossfire them, I wouldn't know how though as I've never had an APU

Bromhead · 29 Dec 2012 at 04:21

Let us know how the performance of the rig is when crossfiring the two graphics
