RYZEN is the Best upgrade for the buck

Appears I won the silicon lottery this time. Installed with no probs on an msi b350m gaming pro motherboard with 16gb Gskills Aegis ram (@3000). the bios has a one button OC and it sets up itself. The core speed hopped to 3.75 with no tweaking and runs at under 90 degrees F with no issues. I Would guess there is a little more headroom if I worked at it but I am plenty happy with this performance. And at the current used market prices, made no sense not to buy new and get a fresh chip with the heatsink-fan and thermal paste ready to go out of the box. Moving to Ryzen has been one of the best upgrade bang for the buck moves I have made in years. Needing only a mobo and ram to go with my old parts I was soaring for 200 clams, and that with a fairly decent piece of 3d graphics built into the cpu.Read full review
