I was thinking that too. Do you think it's better to pay extra for the x or xt?

no, you pay 20-30$ extra for 2 letters etched onto the die.

I could use some help with this!

Neither will outdo the stock cooler by much anyway.

Ehm.. what? 

 

88 degrees with stock vs 64 with 212 evo. Not outdoing it by much??? I disagree. I have the 212 black which is basically a V2 of the cooler and it's working nicely. My 2600x with an oc at full cinebench r20 load it will get around 72 degrees. And the thermal paste is already pretty old. Its decent 100%.

88 to 64?  24 degrees?  Sorry, not buying that.  I have had the 212 Evo previously and while it's good it's not that good.

Thanks for the help everyone! I think I will get the 3600 and the b450 gaming k motherboard (it’s on sale for $85).

In my opinion it maybe better to get a tomahawk max b450.😊👍
