Posted April 29, 2020 good matchup. that said, why no ryzen 3600? Before you reply to my post, REFRESH. 99.99% chance I edited my post.

Posted April 29, 2020 Its a good combo on a nearly dead platform. Like @Mister Woof suggested the 3600 is a good choice. In a couple years you'll be happy when you can drop in a ryzen 4000 series cpu for an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 29, 2020 It's decent. You would get a pretty good bargain if you go ryzen 5 3600. It's very unlikely anyone will notice a 5 fps difference in games with going ryzen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without overclocking the 9400f easily beats the 3600 in gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stock cooler works well enough for the 9400. It's not quiet, but it probably won't throttle. Before you reply to my post, REFRESH. 99.99% chance I edited my post.

Only downside with ryzen is you might need to do a bios upgrade with the mobo and its a micro-atx instead of ATx. I'm not an AMD fanboy, I just think the 3600 is a much better choice in the long run.

Posted April 29, 2020 As far as a combination I have a 9400f which I coupled with a 2070s last year and it’s never been cpu bound. So it is plenty of power for a 1660s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
