What’s the difference between the X and non X variant?

It is said that the 2700 can be overclocked to the speed of the 2700X. If you don't plan to overclock, stick with the 2700X.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Better stock cooler and higher stock clock speed. You can just oc to make up the difference.

Tom's said it the best:

 

"When it comes to gaming, an overclocked Ryzen 7 2700 provided a statistically insignificant ~1 FPS advantage over the 2700X in 99th percentile frame rates. In essence, both tuned processors offer a very similar experience through our suite. It's unfortunate, then, that you need to buy an aftermarket cooler in order to overclock Ryzen 7 2700 to its potential. So much for the $30 savings versus Ryzen 7 2700X.

 

That means you get more value from AMD's flagship than the stepped-down Ryzen 7 2700. In fact, at stock settings, even a Core i5-8400 is roughly equivalent to the 2700. And it costs $110 less. And you can drop it into affordable motherboards. Intel's stock cooler is fine, too. You get the picture.

 

Similar trends surfaced in our desktop productivity tests. Ryzen 7 2700's frequency deficit resulted in notably less performance than a stock Ryzen 7 2700X across the board. Although Ryzen 7 2700 is faster than Intel's Core i5-8400 and -8600K in threaded workloads thanks to its eight-core design, AMD's own Ryzen 7 2700X is more compelling if you're interested in those types of applications."

 

I will add to that, though: Overclocking is not 100% a guaranteed thing. It's still a lottery, and it's a lottery you CAN lose. I would always take the chip that performs better at stock because it's at least a guaranteed thing. Plus Tom's also noted that their 2700 needed more voltage than their 2700x to hit 4.2GHz (1.4v). That technically means that the 2700x has the higher overclocking potential, giving it an advantage even when considering OCs. You could go as high as 4.3GHz from what I've seen. The other question: will you actually OC? If not the 2700x is better hands down!

 

That being said, since this build might be used for streaming later, I'd say you won't do much better than a 2700x.

What is the basis for the assertion that a Whisper M is "slightly better" than a G3?

The G3 is on the loud side, the aptly named Whisper has a better fan. Also, the Whisper is on a much higher tier than the G3 on our forum's own tier list (tier B vs tier A+), but I don't know the specific details that warrant such a gap in ranking.

While the tier list is useful, positioning is somewhat subjective. It would be helpful if the author(s) provided the criteria that distinguishes level placement.

 

I believe the issue with G3 relates to some of its power protections.

Actually I'll start workshopping something with the authors, I've thought of a way to color code the PSU names that might allow for some understanding of their benefits/flaws

 

If you have thought of any efficient ways to convey objective quality I'll be happy to consider them
