Hello,

I'm encountering a problem with my setup;
I'm using a Gigabyte F2A88X-D3H motherboard in conjunction with an AMD a10 7850k.

The AMD chip's codename should be "Kaveri" on a FM2+ socket.
Yet when using Gigabyte's EasyTune6 it shows up as a Zambezi core on a AM3+ Sock.

Neither in Catalyst, dxdiag, or any where does it refer to be an APU that has 8 Graphical cores. Basically leaving me with a " Zambezi " that runs at 3.7Ghz

Spec's:
Mobo: F2A88X-D3H
-Bios: F5b (Flashed from F3 to F5b, had no effect)
Ram: Corsair 8GB @2133
APU: AMD A10-7850K

After more research and running CPU and GPU-Z and installing the latest (and apparently correct) version of ET6 the problem is resolved.

The fault was mine own, installed the Catalyst 13.x drivers whilst the APU is only supported since the 14.x Beta drivers.
