    Pinnacle Ridge IMC and StoreMI

    I'd like to know if the reworked IMC and/or StoreMI in series 2, ex. a 2600, is significant under any application. Or is the better performance all due to being faster. If a 1600X and a 2600 ran at exactly the same speeds are there any applications where a noticeable difference would be...

    Better phases beats average heatsinks?

    I'm going for a cheap Ryzen build. In the future I may want to OC a better Ryzen chip. I think this https://preview.tinyurl.com/y6jktecl also shows if I shoot for boards with better VRM they'll help no matter how many cores & no matter how high you try to OC. (Not talking anything crazy like...
