[MEGATHREAD] Personal Computer - Updated builds thanks to Logical Increments

do you mean like the a10? Those are APUs, CPUs with built in graphics. Idk which is better, but probably the FX. I have the FX 4130, and I like it.

Ah. Also does apple use the A series for their mobile devices because I've noticed that they are named similarly (In the iPad the CPU is an A4, iphone 5 its the A6, etc.)

Apple would never use AMD in an iphone.
IIRC it's an IBM chip.

I mean I don't know anything about the phone but why wouldn't they use an AMD chip? Don't their computers use AMD gpu's?

Apple has closer ties with other companies. I think that most Apple computers use Nvidia rather than AMD, and of they all have Intel for processors.
Intel also is very big on mobile processors and AMD is less so.

iPhones use a custom arm based cpu, manufactured by samsung of all companies.

My GPU keeps on reaching over 80-85 degrees celsius basically idle, and at times it just overheats and shuts down. The GPU is a G210 (horrible i know) but it never had temperature issues until now. Any suggestions?

How dusty is your PC?
Are your fans running?
Hows the ventilation?

How dusty is your PC?

Was mildly dusty overall, just cleaned it out.

Are your fans running?

Yes, but the GPU fan itself doesn't seem to work.

Hows the ventilation?

Not great, but not bad to the point that the card overheats until now apparently.

[Electro]

Not sure if trying to be funny or..
Anyway, no. Don't hit your PC.

i'm serious lol. i think i need help.

Your GPU fan might not be connected to the card. Check its wires.
Also, you may need to invest in a better fan if thats happening.
