Hey there! Right now you're using a Ryzen 7 1700 with an RX 580. For your needs—video editing and streaming—your budget is tight, with both 2700X and 3600 CPUs costing around 180€. Since neither offers a clear advantage in performance for your tasks, it might be best to stick with what you have or consider upgrading the GPU instead. Let me know if you want more details! Thanks!
If you're satisfied with the present results, proceed to Zen 3.
OC the 1700 excels at handling the 3600 workload and outperforms it in single-threaded scenarios. With a suitable cooling system, significant improvements in performance per instruction are achievable.
However, there won't be a major shift in impact when moving from 3000 to 4000 units versus Ryzen 2000 to 3000... and financially it'll cost more.
Just skip the spending and flash the chip. I tested a 3.7ghz all-core overclock at normal voltages—both setups worked perfectly. When I pushed to 3.8ghz, the cooling became an issue; the 240mm AIO overheated, while the 120mm model handled 3.7ghz but struggled at higher speeds. If it doesn’t stabilize, try boosting the voltage to 1.2v again.
It seems you're considering removing an item for your brother and deciding between 2700X and 3600. The decision likely depends on your priorities.
It's a very efficient chip, so power consumption isn't a concern for me. Yes or no depends on the situation. Windows 10's power management might let it slow down the clock. I keep performance mode enabled so the system runs at around 4.2ghz whenever needed. Turbo boosts to 1 core up to 3.7ghz, while all cores can reach about 3.2ghz or higher depending on the settings—baseline is 3.0ghz. I wasn't sure about these numbers before, but I'm pretty confident with what I know.
