1600 vs 1600x

[philuk20]

Hello guys,

Any advice on the above Ryzen CPU's. I have ordered a bundle with the 1600 stock, but worried it may be limiting as im not really confident in overclocking myself. The 1600x has a higher clock speed for around £40.00 more, I have already ordered a after market cooler so the cost of that isnt an issue.
I tried to keep to a low budget but feel this may have gimped me alittle.

1600 in my testing totally the same potential as 1600X. Buy the cheaper and invest the money saved in a better board.

Great, thank you for the advice!

Ill stick with the 1600.
