Has anyone used A10-5800K and A10-5700?

[yannis76]

Hi,

Has anyone of you experienced A10-5800K AND A10-5700?
Is there any significant difference between them performance, noise and heat wise? I have chosen the 5800K, but have some doubts regarding its heat and noise performance.
The 5800 will be placed on Silverstone GD04 which will be placed on a relatively confined place in a furniture. There will be 10cm space from each side (right, left and back) and no space at all on the top of the case.
Should I keep the 5800 or choose the 5700?

Thank you

What cooler are you going to use
Are you planning to overclock now or in the future
What is the rest of the spec

For the beginning stock cooling. I dont plan to overclock, its for a gaming HTPC.
The rest is 8gb Kingston 2133, Agility3 120gb, bd-rom, 430W PSU and the case I mention above.

Anything but a stock AMD cooler...they are small and loud.

Also, I would look at getting a different SSD...the Agility 3 is fairly sluggish comparing to others - OCZ Vertex 3, Crucial M4, Samsung 840...any of those would all be faster...

I already have the ssd from another PC. It may be slow compared to benchmarks but in real life, it seems super fast...Have you noticed any difference between ssd of latest generation?

It will probably get toasty, as the air has little space to circulate and escape from as it's squashed into somewhere

If you already got the SSD, then of course the sensible thing is to keep using that. I was merely pointing that out thinking it would be rather silly to get a Agility 3 now, when better and faster SSDs are around the exact same price

Maybe a Corsair H60 will help as you can point the heat in any direction you want, especially if you make custom brackets!

I would have gone with the 5700. lower temps and save on the electricity.

You could pick up a Xigmatek Apache II for 10.99 and it will cool better and be quiet. Its low profile as well so will fit very well. For that little amount I think its worth the investment imo.
