Its fine i just sold the board and i5 7600k i had for 160$ and bought a ryzen 5 3600 with asus b450 rog strix motherboard for 300$ from microcenter.

Welp i upgraded. sold the i5 7600k and board for $160 and i bought at ryzen 3600 and a b450 asus rog strix board. got both with a price matches and totaled out at $300.99

So in most games you get about a 20FPS boost. Also did you see the link i posted to you?

Is there a big difference between the 2600x and the 3600? from userbench im not seeing much of an improvement. What about this? https://www.microcenter.com/product/5003879/-amd-ryzen-5-3600-with-wraith-stealth-cooler,-asrock-b450m-pro4,-cpu---motherboard-bundle

Ok so my current rig will be listed below. I am having problems in some newer games currently like cod warzone, cyberpunk 2077 and some VR lag with my oculuas rift. I have a few options here to go with but my budget is 300$ What do you think would be the best option to go with? Current Build i5 7600k Gigabyte H270-Gaming 3 mobo 16gb Ram EVGA GTX 1070ti Option 1 Ryzen 5 2600x - 140$ ASUS B450-F ROG STRIX Gaming AMD AM4 ATX Motherboard -129$ Option 2 i7 7700k - 200$ Option 3 i7 6700k and z170 asus pro gaming ultra mobo $150

I have been looking high and low for a i7 7700k to replace the i5 7600k cause i need the hyperthreading for playing newer games. but everywhere i look they want over 200 for it! its like for 300 to 400 i could buy a 3rd gen ryzen and board.

I do have a gtx 1070 i could compare it too on the nvidia side and i also have a rx480 i could compare with for team red. Just wonder what games to benchmark. Lol no kidding! the king of gpu's back in the day. i remember seeing them in sli and was not disappointed!

Found this old beast in some old things of mine. i knew this was having problems before. I didnt know i still had this till today so lets see what it looks like on the inside! Bare PCB The old thermal pads The blower style cooler The cooler taken apart Check back with me for part 2 after i get some new thermal pads and a bunch of IPA.

@Sergifq Thank you for the article i am currently reading it now. i will attempt again after i have finished it.

Thanks I'll try it!

Also Max temps when I did have it running were 83c and thermal limit for the CPU is 110c

Brian from Tech yes city as well as others I have seen have gotten this to 4.5ghz on air coolers.

Ok I have the parts listed below. I can't seem to find an overclock that works. Is there something I'm missing or do I just have a crap chip?
