[inland night]

What would you guys choose with a 2060?

[mystic thorn]

whats the name of the ryzen cpu?

[inland night]

Isn’t it ryzen 5 5500?

[mystic thorn]

oh ok
so diffidently a ryzen 5500

if a 3600 is cheaper / same price do get that instead

[inland night]

So that ryzen is better than the intel?

[mystic thorn]

yes

[inland night]

How much better?

[mystic thorn]

that would be hard checking cause they got released in 2 very different times but the 5500 has a big ass upgrade path too so its just better in every way

[inland night]

What would be the best budget am5 cpu?

[mystic thorn]

7500f from AliExpress usually has great value

[compact inlet]

Yeah but the 7400f is great too

[mystic thorn]

Not really, it overheats easily

They fucked something up

[compact inlet]

They used thermal past not liquid metal under the lid

[mystic thorn]

Ye ehm don't.

[compact inlet]

To save like $2

I think we would rather pay the extra $2
