I'm concerned about daily use cases, noise, power consumption.
I'm using a 2700x but I'm still in the return policy with Microcenter. I don't want to manually overclock either CPU because you lose the dynamic boosting that helps these CPUs function more efficiently. The Wraith Prism is not as good as people say. In my experience, it's loud and obnoxious.
The price difference between the 2700 and 2700x is only $22 (including sales tax); which is why I bought it.
The electricity cost of running the 2700x is probably about $5-10 per annum difference.
The thing that bugs me is that the 2700x is always boosting to crazy frequencies. Open chrome? boost. New tab? boost. etc. etc.
In my experience so far, I can't feel a performance difference between the 2700x that I have now and the 2700 that I used to have. All I know is that the 2700X seems about twice as power hungry and keeps turning up my fans.
For the most part, the machine is supposed to be a quiet video editing and gaming PC.
Think I should just go back to the 2700?
