Stability problems on the 300series boards. Overclocked and generational gains are limited for gamers. The R7 2700X's Wraith Prism cooler struggles during heavy OCs

By name and by marketing, the i5 CPU is most comparable to the R5 CPUs. The R5 2600's current $160 price-point makes it a less direct comparison, and the 2600X, which would perform about where an overclocked 2600 performs, is about $220. This is also che...

Battlefield V is playable on quad-cores but you can expect frequent frame dips, resulting in less consistent frame rates. For the most part, we've found that the older Core i5-7600K has been hanging in there pretty well with AAA titles released in 2018, b...

Abstract: It is common to find guides to overclocking processors, and indeed pre-overclocked system builds, that rely heavily upon the old ethos of sticking as many volts into the processor as it and your cooling can handle, and stopping when everything is stable...

Abstract: When AMD launched their Ryzen processors in 2017, the company gave consumers a worthy alternative to Intel's dominance. Their competitor had little answer to Ryzen's incredible multicore performance and aggressive pricing. Now, the second generation of Ry...
