Okay, so i know the clear choice for gaming would be an I7-8700k rather than the Ryzen 7 2700x. Really, all i do is game. I need a new CPU now because my i7-6700k took a dump on me. The only reason i dont go with intel is because of the meltdown and specter issues. I looked at some different benchmarks and really didnt see too much of a difference in gaming performance other than 10-15fps. I have 2 questions. Since ive never owned an AMD chip, im 100 percent new to overclocking them. Is it almost the same as an intel chip? I have an h100i v2 so temps arent an issue. My second question is, how sturdy are those pins on a ryzen chip? lmao. I really hope they arent as easy to break as a motherboard pin off and intel board.
Bonus question: Would the extra cores on an AMD chip provide any benefit for the future?
