        The 5-3500X is only available in China if im not wrong. And the perfromance is not quite Ryzen 5 3600 and closer to the 2600

          Apparently it was reported to be china OEM only, but turns out that's wrong. According to this TechSpot Review, in Australia the Ryzen 5 3500X is only available in pre-built machines.

            @CoatsyJnr: I believe the 3500X is available for retail in China and OEM only everywhere else. Though I've seen the Ryzen 5 3500 non-X a lot in Asian countries.

        • srhardy on 14/08/2020 - 17:26

          the 3500X is faster than the hyperthreaded 3600 as it has the same CACHE but does not need to share it with the mythical hyerthreads. In some media encoding its a tad slower but faster generally in gaming…. Id say 10% max, either way ~ you wont notice it. I ran my 1700 with HT off and barley noticed unless I was running encoding or benchmark apps like cinebench. Again, 10% losss in some or 10% gain on average in other apps.

            +1

            @srhardy: My 3500X is terrible in AC Odyssey. Games are using more and more threads, and besides, you can disable SMT with the 3600 but there'll barely be a difference. You also lose 100MHz with the 3500X.

    • Sim69 on 14/08/2020 - 19:53

      Impressive value, although if you change it up a little, you can get practically the same performance for a fair bit less.
      For example using an RTX 2060 which should yield similar performance in most games (not to mention DLSS 2.0 and ray tracing), which are often available for about $460 (or you could get a super for an extra $70)

      • koflok on 15/08/2020 - 12:52

        Agree on can get same performance by changing things up

        But not by changing to RTX 2060 for sure. RX 5700 is the best value mid-end card IMO.

        Out of the box it's comparable to 2060 S / 2070 and with it being able to be flashed makes it even better at or above 2070 performance wise.

        Unless you are streaming, RX 5700 is the better choice.

        yeah, i assumed so. Just wish there was something similar to a current gen console in size, that could play all these free epic/cheap steam games and not look out of place next to the tv.
        I guess maybe one of these optiplex's and a low profile card is as close as it will get!

        • tofuofdoom on 14/08/2020 - 16:47

          Look up Nuc computers, they might be what you're looking for

        • Wonderfool on 14/08/2020 - 17:50

          There are ssf cases that accepts regular ATX parts, but of course, they're a bit pricey as well. But considering the extra you need to pay for the 1650 for a similar performance card, it'll probably work out the same.

          Granted, if you just want a dirt cheap 1080p experience that the hardest Game you expect to push is civ 6, nothing beats the octiplex or elite 8300 + 1650 for lowest price lol

    • ItsMeAgro on 14/08/2020 - 18:16

      You can buy cases that aren't TOO much bigger than a console, and that won't cost that much more than a normal PC as they can take mostly full-size components. (Full-size GPU, just not a giant CPU fan or loads of hard drives)

      I just buy a normal mid tower case and lie it sideways under the TV. Works for me.

    I think we're gonna wanna know how old this MECH OC stock is. My one from my system I bought in December was from August, and the junction temperature was crazy high and the fans spun 3500rpm. I repasted it and removed the backplate and it's doing alright now. This looks like a very decent price though, basically the system I bought for $978 in December with a better PSU and motherboard.

        Regular 5700. That's gonna be an ouchie if it isn't a refreshed model. I'm going to have to put some NF-A9x14s to fully tame the beast. 2000rpm while it isn't loud on quality fans, isn't very nice on MSI's crappy TORX fans. They make a constant pulsating whine.

            @drew442: It doesn't let me PM you. I'd be interested, but my budget for cooling is kinda tight, ~$50-60. I'll also have to check that it works on my specific 5700's PCB.

    • srhardy on 14/08/2020 - 17:30

      It begs a tear down and repaste as well as a BIOS XT update and dont go OC it futher. Should give 1440P 120-150fps gaming… for the brave only! warranty is non existant for flashing a card, so you are warned! BTW you can get most of the same effect from OC with software if you want and you can dial it up and down to suit your cooling position too.

        I dropped 100mV off the core and it still peaked 100c causing an awful ramping up and down. Arguably worse than the steady 3500rpm.

        • jp1011 on 14/08/2020 - 18:22

          Geez that's shocking lol, even worse than what I'd expect after seeing HUb's review.
          If you've still got issues with the fan speed, or if you end up going through with the fan swap and need to control from mobo, I can highly recommend Argus Monitor. Lets you set your fan curves without having to restart through bios everytime, and includes option for GPU temp as the x variable. Cost about $16 and does some other stuff as well.

          • Void on 14/08/2020 - 18:28

You might be able to get away with one regular fan (in front of the wifi card) and one slim one (above the wifi). Should open up a few better value options since there are so few alternatives to the slim noctuas.

        • dsiritz on 14/08/2020 - 17:08

          I faced the same dilemma late last year and ended up going with the Zotac 2060 AMP that performs above and beyond. (also scored it for the neat price of $400 on a black friday deal).

          • Void on 14/08/2020 - 17:14

            @dsiritz: Yes that was a good choice at the time. I had issues too until AMD started picking up their game, I was on the verge of returning it and getting a 2060 Super. I stayed a little longer and it paid off though.

      • srhardy on 14/08/2020 - 17:32

        repasting it isnt hard (nor is the XT bios update) if your system has good fan air cooling… and for the price, its worth the extra effort…

        the 2060 is perfectly safe option and I see them selling for $400-500, supers from $550+

        • Void on 14/08/2020 - 17:33

          It isn't hard, but most people don't want to void their warranty nor do they want to risk damaging their card at the same time. And even then the fans are garbage and whine at 2000rpm which runs it at acceptable temperatures, so you'd have to replace those too.
