So i'm keeping an eye out for a second hand 1600 but I was thinking that maybe most of the 1600s for sale would be on sale because they don't oc well? Why else would someone sell their cpu so soon after launch?

 

What is your opinion on this, is it a valid assumption or...

 

Thanks in advance

as a ryzen user I would say is it a good deal - 50-50

Why?

Bec you have 2 cases:

1  - its borken or not working correctly yo be put up for sale

2 - its a huge pain in the ass to setup if you get a motherboard with BIOS version 1

It took me 4 days to get my system finnaly running and idk how many times I was  - fck this I'm done
