Upgrading/wait for Black Friday?

‘’If you spend some money on good cooling, there's no reason to manually overclock Ryzen 7 2700X. Thanks to XFR2, AMD's flagship should remain stable above 4 GHz, even under full load. Try to go any higher and you'll pay a hefty price in heat, power, and possibly long-term reliability.‘’ can somebody translate this for me haha? So I was reading about OCing and stock cooling etc and I keep coming across XFR2. Does that mean that it will boost itself as high as it can depending on how cool it is, for example if I had a good cooler on it then it’d think ‘right I’m happy to boost to 4ghz’?

That’s really helpful. So it’s just like it’s only ‘brain’ will work that out from the temperate figures it creates itself? That’s pretty cool.

I don’t have the minitor, I’m looking for something compatible with an Xbox (possibly xb271hu) but I’m still looking into it. It will definitely be 1440p and 144hz+.

So you’d OC both and leave the cooling stock?
