I have a similar motherboard (A88X-Extreme4+), but can't quite get the system stable at 4 GHz CPU and 1028 MHz iGPU. I have increased NB-Voltage to 1.425V, CPU VCORE is set to 1.325V with +0.024V Offset. I'm still a beginner, actually looking to overclock the iGPU mostly for best gaming performance. What is the maximum stable frequency for the iGPU, I guess I can't go any much further than 1028 MHz? I have disabled all the power saving features, throttling, everything. NB is at 1800 MHz. Can I improve this one too?

Can you recommend a good mini itx board for this APU?

Nice.
Now that the Kepler is fully compatible with Dx12, is time to upgrade to GTX780TI

i wanna see a FSB overcLock and then oc the GPU and make it aLL stabLe!! With RAM maxed out as far as capacity of the mobo!!  Would this require a mobo/chipset heatsink for the Liquid Loop so summertime oc'ing isn't a problem?

Hey I have a question, I recently purchased the Kaveri 7850K APU + R7 250 GPU running on an MSI A88X-G45 gaming series motherboard. However, I cannot get crossfire to work (configured/updated the BIOS, Updated all drivers for both the APU and GPU). I am not sure if the motherboard does not support it or if I am not setting it up right. So could someone please let me know if my parts are just not compatible to run crossfire or is there a video or tutorial I can read to figure out how I can get crossfire to work, thanks in advance :)

Video producers really should learn to normalize audio levels. It's as simple as clicking and dragging a mouse up. Talking volume too low, turn up speaker volume, BOOM! Intro music explosion! Nevermind the basics eh?
