AMD Lynx Platform (Llano A6-3650 CPU, ECS A75F-A Motherboard) Review

Others/Miscelleneous by stefan @ 2011-09-06

The AMD Lynx Platform comes at a decent price and offers DX11 compatible integrated graphics, which is more than enough for performing some of the daily tasks or watching HD multimedia content. For increasing the 3D performance even further, we can either overclock the APU or buy a separate graphics card from the supported models (RADEON HD 6400, 6500 or 6600 Series).

III tab holds all the overclocking options; here we can modify the CPU Ratio (this feature is no use for the moment since the ratio is locked for the current APUs, but new models should appear with it unlocked), specify the memory clock, latencies, we can enable the Bus clock or modify the voltages for the CPU, VDIMM or NB:

 

 

 

In the Boot tab, we can specify the boot priorities:

 

 

 

The Security tab contains only one option, from which we can modify the administrator password for the UEFI:
