Might be worth looking into. I have the Same CPU with a x570 board and do somewhat regret it as the chipset fan is noisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 18, 2019 4 hours ago, Epimetheus said: why? I see the logic there. 9400F is still trading blows in gaming, and requires very little on the MOBO/RAM front. In a gaming build, it's a smarter squeeze than dropping down to a 1600 or 2600. The squeeze is to fit the 5700, which is a pretty solid step up from the 1660. It's still problematic.. No SSD with an overpriced 1TB HDD. 240hz monitor is a ridiculous move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
