Just a quick question: (maybe not lol)
For a gaming-only PC, is there any point to getting the Ryzen 7 2700X over the 2700?
From what I've read, you can OC the 2700 to about where you can OC the 2700X, you just can't do it with the stock cooler. Not an issue in my case, as I can re-use the 212 EVO from my current PC. (and put the stock Ryzen cooler on my FX-6300 instead)
Now, I'm not much of a computer guy, so any OC I do is just going to be through the BIOS app. (not going to manually mess with voltages or anything)
Would I need to do a manual OC to get the 2700 up to say, 4.2Ghz, and will a 212 be enough cooling? Also, would I need a better mobo for the bigger OC than I would to get the same speed from a 2700X?
