Those are the sweet spots, even better if you can do C14 at 3600MHz which we've achieve on some of the 8 Pack kits.
Once your into 2:1 Infinity Fabric Divider we find you need to push beyond 4600MHz to get performance back due to latency issues and 4600MHz memory kits are like another £100 expensive and they simply net you no additional performance, just a bigger hole in your wallet hence us saying the sweet spot is 3200-3600MHz which is good timing because RAM prices have more than halfed in recent months. :)

how do you define that as a sweet spot when 3200mhz cas 16 is £60 for 16GB?

that 3900x tops the passmark charts https://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html

very good for something that is much less expensive than everything else in the top 20

Jesus christ.

The 3000 series chips really are something else. Just looking through that list, even the 3600 is ridiculously high for its price point. Im even surprised by the fact that the 3600 is actually higher than the 2700x. Its only 1 year newer with 2c/4t less and still performs considerably better..

Wait for the 3950X.

I have 2 mates at work who just ordered the 3600 seems like the sweet spot in the line up.

They also ordered 3200mhz cas 16 ram for less than 60 quid.

So full upgrade for peanuts. Bare in mind they will get money for their old ram and cpu.

Exactly! Depending on what parts you had before (lets just assume 2700x and 16gb 3000mhz ram) you can probably sell them for 70-80% of the cost of buying the 3600 and new ram, whilst keeping the same mobo, psu etc... The upgrade is literally peanuts.

I still really am surprised at how well the 3600 has done, incredible chip. All the chips are tbh. I feel like when they end up releasing the Ryzen 3's, its pretty much going to give you performance similar to the 2700x, for like $100

Not sure if serious.

Ebay, gumtree, Facebook, word of mouth.

Basically anywhere

yeah not sure what he meant by that. But you can near enough upgrade to better ram and a better cpu for pure peanuts if you sell for a decent enough price

I have only ever sold computer stuff on ebay so far. Just wondered if there were better ways/places to sell. If so I may sell more computer bits to upgrade my other computers as well.

Members market seems great (but i am not yet a member, from what ive heard its great though)

think ebay is certainly better than the likes of shpock and depop for things like this though
