As George Constanza would say... "I'm AWARE!" XD But the Wraith Spire seems like a pretty decent cooler, especially since I'm not planning to overclock. Not to mention since the 2700X has a much higher TDP, it should come with a better cooler.

Okay but I don't want this thing hitting 80C in freakin' Battlefield or something.

Cool, thank you!

Noted! Thank you. So the PBO works with the standard 2700 then?

Interesting...and this is only for X processors? Thing is, I'm worried about high temps.

What's PBO??

Yeah but it's not really a high clock speed anyway. The base clock on the 2700x is 500mhz higher and the boost clock is only 200mhz higher. That really doesn't seem like a significant difference imo. Plus the frame rate in the video I linked don't seem to be too far off. As for the 2600, eh. I...

Based on this video View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wa7bK06wT4I I think I'll go with the 2700. The temps are significantly lower with not much difference in frame rate.

Thanks man! Now...which CPU has lower temps under full load? XD

This is the build I had in mind. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MdBNQq After looking at mobo's within my price-range I've settled on the ASRock B450M PRO4. Seems to be a decent board for what I need.

Really? Because I was watching this video here, View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wa7bK06wT4I and the temps on the 2700 are much lower than the 2700x. :unsure:

Yeah I know, the prices are similar. However, when I added them to the parts list on PCPartPicker, it had a compatibility mismatch with virtually every motherboard. Even if I need a BIOS update for the 2700 for new features and such, that's fine. At least it'll work straight away. Where as with...

Okay, thank you for the response, but as I said in my OP I don't want a 3000 series. This is the build I have in mind. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MdBNQq The 3600 you recommended would require a BIOS update. Not to mention it only has 6 cores as apposed to 8, plus this build is slightly...

Noted. Thanks! Now, what about temperature? Will the 2700x run hotter than the 2700 at stock speed? I can't seem to find any comparison in temperatures anywhere online. Unless I'm just not looking hard enough. :unsure:

Actually both come with a cooler. The 2700x comes with a Wraith Prism and the 2700 comes with a Wraith Spire. But will it run hotter even at stock speed?
