ryzen 5 1600 or 1600x

marco.da.man · 31 Oct 2017 at 12:29

hi guys im debating which one to go for as theres £50 difference.

which one do you guys say so ?

also on ram should i go for team group 3000mhz 16gb or dark pro edition 3200mhz 16gb ?

marco.da.man · 31 Oct 2017 at 12:37

ive brough the rog strix b350 f gaming board, evga 500w psu and coolmaster masterliquid 240 lite cooler already just need cpu, ram and graph card now

marco.da.man · 31 Oct 2017 at 14:06

just out of reason why is everyone picking the 1600 over the 1600x

marco.da.man · 31 Oct 2017 at 18:34

guys please, my question has purely being asked about the ryzen, i have always stuck with amd and have brought board and cooler ready for new amd.
why i appreciate everyones view, there is no need to get out of hand

marco.da.man · 31 Oct 2017 at 19:01

guys while i appreciate all view, its been 5 years since i upgraded my system i presume the above charts are on current games at 1080p and feature the fps and also the graphics settings playable at ?
im still trying catch up on modern day facts etc

marco.da.man · 31 Oct 2017 at 19:39

guys to settle a simple debate isn't it the case that some processors will work better on some games than others, also overall wont your graphics card and ram also play a part in all this ?
dont get me wrong but isnt the basis off having a stable system is more important than this and that ?

thankyou all guys,

yes it has gone a bit off track and for sake off £50 cheaper i am going for ryzen 1600 as after watching an offical asus video on the rog strix b350 it looks like it can all kinds off wanderfull stuff.

I will also be going for the 8pack ram at 3200mhz as this seems to give a bit more out off the ryzens

The wraith spire cooler will handle a 3.7ghz overclock fine and the 8 pack 3200 works well with Ryzen.

ive brought the coolermaster masterliquid 240 lite for cooling

marco.da.man · 2 Nov 2017 at 15:01

not all this again.

marco.da.man · 2 Nov 2017 at 15:03

i got an idea lets all just scrap our computers and go back to playing monoply, cluedo and battleships

cant beat the good old days or get the commodore 64 out of retirement

It really is incredible, every thread it happens

i respect people opinions and that you have intel and amd fans, but when it was a simple question i started and turned out into full blown war

I'm sure it's put off new members from returning to the forums as well. They make a post asking for advice then just see a massive argument unfold, which doesn't really help them out. Obviously health debates are important for forums, but when it happens to this extent is isn't helping much.

i agree its been 5 years since my last system build, so for me im trying catch up with all the latest knowledge.

but for a newbie in can be wierd

I agree 100%
You have made your mind up that you want ryzen, the 1600 is the one to get.
This has turned into a civ6 thread lol

Have you got a board yet?

yes gavin i bought the rog strix b350-f gaming along with dark pro edition 16gb 3200mhz

Good board that, comes with many of the features the x370 crosshair does.
I quite liked the soundcard on that board.

yeah ive watched an offical asus video on the overclocking on that board to and looks amazing and hoping that the coolermaster masterliquid 240 lite can keep nice and cool too

next step will be 1060 dual 6gb graphics card

If you look in the Ryzen threads someone posted a video with an engineer from AMD and he talked in detail about overclocking and AM4 BIOS settings. That's well worth watching.

ill have a browse thanks

The thread pretty long winded and full of spam but has really good info. I'll try and link the post.

cheers

B350 Strix also gets the Intel LAN, which is a nice step up from the Realtek LAN most B350 boards use, it's a pretty neat board feature wise. My only qualms would be the VRM, which albeit should be good enough to get an R7 chip to 4Ghz, might not be for future Ryzen iterations, but then again the X370 boards with better VRMs are also somewhat more expensive.

i always been a firm believer in all round stability, thats why i wanna make sure that my board, cpu, ram, cooler etc our all working as one.
last thing i want is knowing ive spent 700-800 on parts and within no time boom

marco.da.man · 2 Nov 2017 at 15:33

in all fairness im hoping the rig im building is going last me next few years

Shouldn't have issues then, Asus has been releasing a lot of BIOS updates and their B350/X370 platforms are pretty mature nowadays. I've only really encountered issues when I started overclocking, but if you do proper stress testing you'll find some good stable overclocked settings after some trial and error

well after watching that asus video 32mins long im hoping that i can do it comfortably, if not im sure a few on here will be willing to help

marco.da.man · 2 Nov 2017 at 15:39

ive also checked out a few video's on the 1600 with 16gb 3200mhz and running the 6gb 1060 and the graphics and playability seem to hold up really well, in some cases id say better than ps4
