I got this, easy 4.3GHz at 1.375v on a wraith prism

Thanks for the updates and info on those that purchased. If I didn't have an original 1600 I may be tempted, but I don't think the difference is worth it at this point.
I sold my 1600 for $60. The +400mhz this hits and +5-10% ipc increase is worth it imo.
This right here.. i have the micro-atx version of this board and it has been flawless.I would say pretty much any B450 board at this point unless you're planning to upgrade the CPU later. If you're looking for "upgradability," that X570-P board isn't bad for what it is, and I've seen them as low as $135 which is as much as the higher end B450 boards. I'd look at the ASRock B450 Pro4 which is usually a solid budget board without any frills. I have the Steel Legend board which is almost identical and it works great.
More like a <5% IPC. Most of the improvements are from the raw clock speed.

Did some !@#ers just crank the price up $15 US in the last 36 hours?
Yea looks like it's up to $99 now. It will drop back down I'm sure....... updated thread title to reflect this.At that price, the $135 Newegg 2700 is a better deal IMO.
What coolers is everyone running on these? Mine arrived last week but I’ve not had a chance to install them. Not going to overclock, But I don’t want it to throttle or sound like an airplane either. I’m used to Intel, where the stock cooler is a sad joke, so I’m a bit leery of the AMD one.
Yeah, 85 is great. 99 not so muchAt that price, the $135 Newegg 2700 is a better deal IMO.

Running an H80i on my wife's 1600AF as that's what was already there from her X58 setup it replaced. Have it at 4.2Ghz currently and everything seems peachy.What coolers is everyone running on these?

I'm using a wraith prism I got used on here for like $20, works great for me. Touch on the loud side when overclocked but it does a fairly good job of keeping it cool. Using the prism because I have it in a SFF build with no room for a tower. I think any decent 120mm tower will do fine cooling this.
I wonder if the $85 was just an anomaly?
Last I checked it would creep up to 70C under prime after 15 min or so. Never gets close to that under normal usage. It's at 1.4v.No surprise you hit 4.2 ghz with H80i - that thing outperforms most (edit) 240mm AIOs. Mine is collecting dust since going SFF.
What temps/volts/fan speed do you typically see?
BACK TO $85 SHIPPEDI wonder if the $85 was just an anomaly?
Seller was trying to do the whole "price swap to catch a few unsuspecting buyers" I think.Already #6 on the Amazon best sellers list despite being MIA at that price for the last couple of weeks.
AMD is dominating the top 10.
Considering grabbing one of these for a small core update to my aging FX8320. The FX still does everything I want, I'm not a big current gen PC gamer so there is little need to update but this is a heck of an option for the price to couple with my 970 GTX.
I bought one for my daughts PC and it's running at 3333Mhz memory speed .. I can't tell the different between my Ryzen 5 3600 on normal windows stuff as to be just as quick about it and it will be faster in gaming with your 970 GTX as it's really a Ryzen 5 2600 hiding in sheep skin .
Think I am going to pick one up for a family member. He's still rocking an old sandy bridge that does well but it getting long in the tooth.
What's a good motherboard for this? I'd prefer to go with MSI or Gigabyte if possible.
If it helps, he mostly plays BR with a 1080p screen using 144hz on a 1080.
