After many, many years, I'm looking to build a new system this winter. I'm starting my research and am strongly leaning towards one of the newer AMD Ryzen CPUs. Probably the Ryzen 5 2600.
I do not want to overclock, but I've come across this article on the MSI site that indicates there is an auto boost feature on AMD chips....essentially the mobo will overclock the chip when needed:
https://www.msi.com/blog/amd-ryzen-b350-vs-b450-chipset-difference
This "Precision Boost Overdrive" feature is appealing to me.
Anyone have experience with this?
And the B450 chipsets are the boards that do this? Or do other chipsets have this feature?
Lastly (and this is more a CPU question), is this the primary benefit of the "X" CPUs vs the non "X" CPUs (i.e. 2600X vs 2600)?
Thanks!
