If you have a Ryzen 5 1600 X, your board will not take a threadripper 1900X. Did you mean 1800X?

twas about to say that, any way, if your cpu is maxing out at 100% and gpu isnt when gaming then upgrade, otherwise no need unless you want to throw down more money

You dont need more cores than 6 for games, unless you do some streaming as well.

For gaming? No. Unless you have a crazy SLI/XFire setup

Productivity? Obvious performance gains but I would assume the 1600x is good enough for most uses anyway.

I just swapped out my 1500X with my 1700 and I have not noticed any difference so far.

if you're gaming, the answer is no.  I did the same upgrade and did not notice any difference in gaming.

no not worth, the ryzen 5 1600X's performance is already excellent for most people either in gaming or productivity and for the money it is bang for your buck

i was just annoyed when i found that my motherboard could support the ryzen 7 1800x so i was thinking if i made the right move with the ryzen 5 1600x because when i build a gaming rig i built it to last for many years untill i need to upgrade again

th ryzen 5 1600x is built for futureproofing, i would say 2020 until AM5 came maybe?
