Posted February 17, 2018 for gaming i would suggest a 1700, as price to performance is spot on with that chip. -Phoenix- -VouwFabriek- -SolidNAS- BlackMac Woody Clack Virtuality Lil'Lad Plot-Device Boerderij all your proteins are belong to us.

Posted February 17, 2018 I would get a 1600X if you are purely gaming remember extra money spent on a 1700 is money taken away from maybe a more OCable GPU or other parts i AM A TASTY NUUUUUB!!!!!

Posted February 17, 2018 If you want unparalleled performance, I'd suggest an AMD EPYC CPU, you'd get at least 5 FPS in 4k no doubt. Used to be everywhere in LTT forums, had a break which lasted apparently 1 year LOL. Gonna get up againnnn. Wake me up if I sleep again like Oppy.

Posted February 17, 2018 Threadripper 1950X is best for prosumers; for just high end power usage r7 1800; for gaming I'd say r5 1600. 5820k4Ghz/16GB(4x4)DDR4/MSI X99 SLI+/Corsair H105/R9 Fury X/Corsair RM1000i/128GB SM951/512GB 850Evo/1+2TB Seagate Barracudas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest are the same. 1600x is better for gaming, but the difference is not that big. For gaming a 1400 is enough, then you can focus on buying a good gpu.

Posted February 18, 2018 They aren't out yet. Wait for Zen+ coming soon. Game's really like single threaded performance and Zen is kind of lacking in that department. Zen+ is supposed to improve on it a little. Mechanical Keyboard Switch Lubing Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 18, 2018 17 hours ago, GrizzlyBear0 said: what's the best amd cpu? for gaming Probably a 1600x. It is an affordable, binned CPU. These people suggesting threadripper are off their rockers, and hopefully just trolling. The 1600 while being similar to the 1600x is a little less binned. I've seen people getting 4.1 rarely even 4.2 on the 1600x. More reliably than any 1700-1700x-1800x. The 1600x is the sweet spot for gaming due to it being the highest binned 6 core cpu. Due to having 1 core in each CCX disabled it also puts out less heat than an R7. These higher clockspeeds will really give you the best RYZEN gaming experience. That being said the 2600x will be out in 6 weeks, and will probably clock to at least 4.2Ghz when overclocked properly rather than playing a lottery to get 4.2Ghz.

Posted February 18, 2018 1600X, especially if you do not want to deal with overclocking. It already runs at near max OC speeds out of the box if you count XFR. 1600 if you do not mind manual overclocking. 1600 statistically does not overclock as far as 1600x as well. 1600 lands at around 3.9 average while 1600X lands at around 4ghz average.

The change in the layout hasn't pushed me here as much as simply not being on the bleeding edge currently. I very rarely use any of OCN's threads outside of clubs and news, where here I tend to hang around to LARP as tech support. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 18, 2018 Think of the 1600x as a pre overclocked 1600. You dont have to fight with it, do any stability testing, or deal with OC related crashes to get most of its performance. And if you ever do want to OC, it will generally OC further than the 1600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
