What resolution you play at? for anything above 1080p you will be gpu bottlenecked anyway, and if you game at 1080p or god forbid below, you will have plenty of frame rate.

Yeah, you'll be fine, never put on v-sync and let your gpu push those frames.

The AMD Ryzen 7 2700 is a very powerful CPU for things like streaming, video editing, and standard refresh rate gaming.

However, for 144hz gaming, you would be better suited to a Ryzen 5 3600 as the GTX 1660ti may be capable of driving 144fps at 1080p in quite a few titles where the Ryzen 7 2700 may not be able to keep up.

You could use the R7 2700 to update your BIOS to the latest version to support the 3600, then return the 2700 to buy a 3600. Or you could just use bios flashback.

i updated the bios to try that cpu but even with the nuw bios the computer when rebooted will just have a black screen untill i restart it for it to work so i would have to turn it on then off then on again to use it so its incompatible
what should i do ?

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Does the 2700 work?

I suspect the issues are not BIOS related and the 2700 may not remedy this.

That motherboard with the latest BIOS is compatible with a 3600. If it wasn't working there's something else causing a problem.

yup it works

i literally tried changing every component with a new one and the technician there told me it was a bios problem because its not 100 compatible with my mob so i got the 2700 instead and it works flawless

so at this point i prbbly cant return it so should i go thru the hassle of selling it and buying a 3600 cpu
will it be worth it ? game wise btw
or is my cpu good enought

Check in the bios what revision you are running.
According to MSI's website, your motherboard requires BIOS version 7B87v17 to properly support the AMD Ryzen 5 3600.

If you can't return the 2700 I don't think it's worth selling it at a loss just to upgrade to a 3600.

If you want 144fps, you will want the 3600.

If you are fine with 60+ FPS, you will be satisfied with the 2700

i am mostly a competitve gamer i play at lans and tournament so i need 144 fps with i am having atm with csgo at 500fps and rb6 at 180 give or take fps thats prbbly due to me overclocking my cpu to 3.7 ghz
so is that overclock killing the need of the 3600 or should i sell this one and get that one?

 

[NightHawkRMX]

For CSGO you will max out your monitor with either the 2700 or 3600. Its only the more demanding titles that would want the better CPU.

like i said i oc'd my cpu to 3.7 ghz
and in my country the 2700 is more expensive than the 3600 so i would prbbly only add like 200 tnd max to buy it (tnd is tunisian dinars ) should i upgrade to it or is it fine

like i said competitive gamer mostly csgo fortnite pubg and rainbow six do i need that upgrade or is it unnecessary

The CPU would turbo higher than that at stock. Leave it at stock or overclock further.

Whether its worth it is up to you. Test the 2700 and see if you like the performance in the games you play.

If so, keep the R7 2700
If not, buy the R5 3600.

how much should i overclock and not exeed 70 to 75 C with stock cooler

 

[NightHawkRMX]

70 to 75 C with stock cooler

It all depends on your chip. Try 3.9ghz and see what happens. If temps are higher than 80c, upgrade cooler or leave CPU at stock.
