Posted September 8, 2017 I need a new processor for my LAN rig cause my 8350 just died (R.I.P). I was wondering if it was worth it to get the 1600x or the 1600. The 1600 comes with a cooler but the 1600x has a higher base clock. Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/832384-new-processor-for-lan-rig/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 8, 2017 A R5 1600 can be overclocked to match or surpass the clockspeeds of the R5 1600X. It also comes with a somewhat decent stock cooler (like you said) and is significantly cheaper. Get the R5 1600. 'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum. Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.
