Doesn't it get tedious and boring to spin the same dribble EVERY day? I bought a pair of flare X RAM and got it to 3400MHz CL 15 (stilts timings) with a slight OC on a $75 B450 asrock motherboard. On that SAME motherboard I got my 2600 to OC to 4.1GHz on a $30 hyper evo 212.
I actually used to own an i5-7600 intel system myself btw and noticed a really hefty performance improvement moving to my AMD system. And sure I could have spent a couple hundred more for a cannonlake system but why would I do that when zen+ systems are cheaper and 90-95% just as fast?
