Sapphire Pure Platinum A85XT (A85X) Motherboard Review

When it came to overclocking this board, we found ourselves within the Performance section of the BIOS and firstly making sure that the APU and memory were at their current rated stock speeds. Once this was confirmed, we could start to push things further by raising the multiplier and voltages.

We increased our core APU voltage to its maximum safe limit as specified by AMD at 1.475V and then proceeded to raise the multiplier while keeping the bus speed at 100MHz.

We found the sweet spot on this board to be the 44x multiplier giving us a final stable result of 4.4GHz at 1.475V and while we know this board can go further, it required voltages of 1.5V and higher, which is fine for us under a Corsair H80, but for the average user, this voltage would be a bit to high for 24/7 use.

As this is new architecture, CPU-Z was still reading the core voltage wrong, but we can confirm that 1.475V was the maximum used.
