*** AMD "Zen" thread (inc AM4/APU discussion) ***

Are there any motherboards which are compatible with these CPU's out of the box or do they all need a bios upgrade?
I know some of the top end boards can have their bios flashed without a CPU, but haven't seen that on any B350 board.

The GPU in the R5 2400G would be faster than your HD 5850 and obviously support modern APIs like DX11/12 and Vulkan. The CPU would be hugely faster also, plus you'd gain SMT. In the current GPU environment it's certainly worth thinking about, especially as you can obviously plonk in a GPU later on if/when prices return to normal.

Thanks for confirming, think I might go this route then as I could as suggested get a gpu at a later date but still have a great upgrade now

I'd like to know this as well, does ocuk do this if ordering together?

Why de-lid them anyway? they don't need it.

Yeah, it's a 65 watt chip so you could probably passively cool these and it seems even the cut back cooler is plenty. Unless you can gain some overclocking head room I don't see any point.

I've got a couple of spare Wraith coolers and thats probably what I'll use.

Passive cooling will not work well with these I would have thought, especially when the CPU and GPU are being used to a reasonable degree.

Has anyone run BF1 on a 2400G above 60FPS and if so what settings were required for consistant 60FPS?

Thinking of selling my GPU and 1600X

https://youtu.be/K0cxIRp8Q0g?t=7m27s only at 720P

The link starts at 1080P proper, if you start the video from the beginning it runs through 1080P with lower resolution scaling.

By the looks of it 1080P proper is playable, about 45 FPS, but for 60 + you need 1080P with 75% res scaling.
 
Edit ^^^ i'm glad :) read below.

You know what, i don't think its worth it, i mean what GPU do you have? the 2200G is £150, you'll get what £110 for the 1600X, and the GPU?
