I have picked out all my parts that I plan to build a new Ryzen 5 system:
msi tomahawk b350 arctic
16GB HyperX Predator RAM HX432C16PB3K2/16
XFX Radeon GTR RX 480 8GB
I want to overclock the processor to gain a little more performance. I see the 1600 does pretty well on water with speeds up to 3.9-4.0GHz, but I'd be happy with 3.8GHz overclock with better temps as I will be trying to use the stock cooler, or aftermarket air cooler if possible.
I read somewhere the 1600x doesn't come with a cooler? if it does, does it come with the same cooler as the 1600?
This guy overclocked his 1600 on the stock cooler and got pretty good results.
Anyway, I'm not sure if I should get the 1600 and overclock with stock cooler, or get the 1600x for $30 and have more of a guaranteed higher clock speed out of the box. There also may be a chance it overclocks a little better and doesn't get as hot? I haven't decided which processor and what cooler I should go with.
Any insight?
Thanks
P.S. where is this chip at I've been waiting for it to pop up on newegg so I can order everything lol
