The basis of my main HTPC is an AMD E350 Brazos in the form of an Asus E35M1‑M Pro. I had quite a lot of problems with the system when I first built it, which were caused by issues with the Seagate Momentus XT storage drive I used. These were fixed a good while ago via firmware update from Seagate, and since then the system has largely worked without any issue.… Read Full Article

0BrazosTweaker: AMD Brazos E350 tweaker
As regular readers will know, my main HTPC is currently based on an AMD Brazos E350. I’d like to say a quick thanks to SemiAccurate for their recent article highlighting the excellent BrazosTweaker by Sven Wittek. This tool (and its sibling FusionTweaker) enable the tweaking of P‑States (the voltage in low power mode) of Brazos and Llano chips, just like K10Stat, PhenomMsrTweaker, RMClock, CrystalCPUID and others have done in the past. To quote SemiAccurate, “the main purpose of both these tools is to modify the voltages and clock dividers of the built-in P‑States on these chips.”
The FusionTweaker utility is still somewhat buggy by all reports, but BrazosTweaker seems reliable to me. I highly recommend reading theSemiAccurate article and then grabbing the tool if you have a Brazos HTPC, or laptop.
0Fusion E‑450 coming
SemiAccurate has news that AMD are to imminently release a new Zacate member of the Brazos platform. According to previous information on Anandtech and Hexus the E‑450 is clocked at 1.65GHz (up from 1.60GHz) and has graphics clocked at 600MHz (up from 500MHz). It will also reportedly support higher speeds of DDR3 memory, and feature some kind of turbo.
