Firts, CPU is at 100% load in BIOS (version F4 and F5). It reaches higher temperatures than in OS during gaming.
Second, when I enable X.M.P. 2400 (I have 2x4 GB Kingstone HyperX Beast 2400 MHz CL11 RAM), OS won't boot. It only works with X.M.P. 1600 and 2133. I saw in other test that you also have (or had, at least) the same RAM.
And, third, the worst one, is that I can not change any values in BIOS (like 2/3). For example, I can not change latency for RAM. I have set it to "Manual" or "Advance manual" instead of "Auto", and those values turn blue (from gray) so I should be able to change them now, but when I press "Enter" nothing hapens (no options apear, no drop-down menu, nothing). And that is the issue with like 2/3 of BIOS setttings/values.
I have tried F4 and F5. They are the same. I have also adressed this issues to Gigabyte, but still no reply. I haven't been able to find anyone that owns the same motherboard to ask them to verify this.
I would really appreciate your help.

I have 37 FPS in Unigine Tropics (default settings + 1280x1024) on A10-7850K + FGLRX (2400MHz RAM in Dual Channel), anyway RadeonSI results looks really nice!

And besides, I don't think there are any discrete CPUs that are available with FM2 and FM2+ sockets.
I'll be waiting for AMD Carrizo APU which will debut next year as I'm currently holding on to AMD A10-5700. Right now, Kaveri does bring in some good gaming performance which I like. I do play Portal using my Linux 3.13 kernel and Mesa 10 and I get about 60 FPS and it does go down to 30 sometimes. My resolution is 1920x1080. All the graphics settings are set to high with no AA in my 47" TV.
And by the way, how do I know if color tiling is on? I don't have xorg.conf in /etc/X11.
You don't want to make an xorg.conf if there isn't one - modern mesa does an autogen using the contents of xorg.conf.d, just go in there and make a file called 99-radeon.conf with these contents:
Code:Section "Device" Driver "radeon" Option "ColorTiling" "on" Option "ColorTiling2D" "on" EndSection

The power usage of the high end Kaveri parts are on par with Trinity still, and if you want more performance why not just build a rig with a discrete cpu + gpu? The only real perk of Kaveri is significant theoretical gpu performance over its predecessors, but radeonSI hinders that a bit still (the recent charts put a 270x on par with a 6950 when it should be running upwards of 30 - 50% faster in terms of raw hardware). But then why not just stick a 260x in your Trinity machine?
