amazon AMD APU A6 7400K reviews

AMD APU A6-7400K Box with black main tone, a design commonly found on overclocking lines to increase performance at no additional cost.
However, the fan included in the box is quite simple and small, just enough to dissipate heat well at the default clock rate. If you want to overclock, you should get a more advanced heatsink.
AMD TDP announced the A6-7400K at only 65W and the actual performance we measured is even lower than this figure. I measured the whole system including MSI A68HM-E33 V2 motherboard, DDR3 Mushkin kit 8GB RAM with 2.133MHz bus, Samsung EVO 850 250GB SSD, the power consumption was only around 54-55W. Even when running at full capacity, it is only around 60W, which shows that the actual power consumption of the A6-7400K is only about 45-50W.
When combined with a 20” LCD screen with an average power consumption of 25W, you have a complete PC serving the needs of office work, and watching movies comfortably without fear of skyrocketing electricity bills ( the whole system, the whole screen is just a light bulb with a filament).
In terms of specifications, APU A6-7400K includes 2 3.5GHz CPU cores (automatically overclocked up to 3.9GHz) and 4 GPU cores; (AMD Radeon R5), supports DDR3 RAM max clocked at 1866MHz.

With the advantage of very useful power consumption, the A6-7400K is also suitable for you to assemble a mini PC for home entertainment, watching movies without fear of wasting electricity.
With the game, the system is just enough for you to beat League of Legends and simple games, not suitable for playing graphics-heavy games.
In addition to the familiar benchmark tools, I also tested the actual use by opening 8 Chrome browser tabs (7 news tabs, 1 youtube tab) while using Word, downloading files with Internet Download Manager, the CPU using only around 49-55% and the system still runs smoothly, not jerky.
I also tried with a Powerpoint file including more than 160 slides of images, charts, and different tables, the machine still handled it well, not slow.
