Need new cpu

[Flow483]

Hey guys so I ran into some complications when removing my stock cooler from my ryzen 1600, I’ve removed plany of coolers but this one didn’t agree with me. I now need a new cpu. Below is my current build

Mobo:ASUS rog strix 450-F
Gcard: gigabyte 2070 OC 8g
PS:Evga 750
Ram:3200 vengeance lpx
Cooler:master liquid LV240E RGB
Case:meshify C LT

Obviously I’m staying with ryzen and I’m looking for something better than my 1600 but nothing crazy. I’m going to continue research on 2ng gen and cpus but thought I would ask you guys. I’m leaning towards ryzen 7 2700x

Thanks

Ryzen 7 2700

You could go with a ryzen 5 2600 or 2700x. The ryzen 5 2600 is only a minor step up from your 1600. It comes with a slightler higher ipc due to the 12nm node. The 2600s stock clocks are higher but you may get only an extry 100mhz or so from an overlclock. A 2700x is much more expensive imvestment but performs much better, so i would reccomend that.

I just realized the 2700x comes with the stock cooler which I won’t be using so I might just go with the 2700 depending on performance differences

Also, what happened to the cpu? I bent pins on my r3 1200 and a quick bend back with a razor blade they were fixed. A quick cpu shave may fix some probems.

I did bend the pins back and have fixed similar issues before but these were badly bent and 1 snapped off when I was trying to fix it with the razor blade haha

All ryzen 2000 series processors come with a stock cooler. The 2700 has a worse cooler than the 2700x tho. The 2700 and 2700x are identical when overclocked so id go with the 2700.

So far it looks like I’m going with the 2700. Thanks everyone

The 2700 is only %3 faster than the 1700

If the 1700 much cheaper get that one?
