  1. All comes down to the famous silicone lottery. You win some, you lose some.
  2. What language(s) will you be coding with? Also, will you be gaming or coding more or is it an even balance?
  3. Thats a much better voltage plus leaves room for potentially higher overclocks in the future
  4. The last few updates have had a range of complaints from issues regarding performance hits to freesync having issues and similar to your issue as people have said it is making their GPU unstable and causing it to crash their system. Perhaps this could be the same problem you are having? Have you tried installing an older driver to eliminate the driver being an issue?
  5. The stock cooler should be able to do minor OC but if you want to go for 4ghz + then maybe a hyper 212 evo? its about 5 pounds more than the cooler listed in your link. Other than that it looks solid and should do the job.
  6. On Ryzens launch Overwatch seemed to have an issue with it as on their forums there are posts of problems similar to yours. It could be the game isn't optimized for Ryzens architecture and in turn is taking a performance hit.
  7. When Ryzen 3 launches that percentage might increase given rumors of it being priced between i3 and i5 but delivering i5 performance. Interesting to see none the less.
  8. Is the driver you are running the 17.4.4 or 17.6.2 optional?
  9. There should be no bottleneck with that CPU+GPU combo. How do you know it is bottlenecking it?
  10. 6GB one, from what I have seen they are nearly the same price as the 3gb one.
  11. To my knowledge, yes. Although I have not used the tomahawk board and haven't read much about it so I may be wrong.
  12. I'd say sell them, however, the pentium G4560 @Vespertine suggested is a good CPU to pair with a 480.
  13. I have seen may people achieve 3.8ghz with ease so this video should help. Also includes a good note on not to mess with the fan profiles in the bios since with that MSI board it causes major issues
  14. What motherboard are you looking at using?
