Ryzen 5 2600 VS 2600X?
I cant see any viable reason to buy the X over non X version. At the time when buying mine, the 2600 was E70 cheaper than the 2600X for no real gain other than a slight boost increase.
better clocks, better binning. I decided not to overclock mine as its a bit of a dog. Games fine under normal clocks with my RX480. Obviously would get more fps with the 2600x. I run a 1700 as well on another system. It's a pretty good overclocker.
2600X also gives you access to customize PBO settings on certain boards.
2600 is great if you know you're going to OC, 2600X is great if you want to just drop in and go while still having more tuning settings when you do decide to get into it.
I have the option in bios with my 2600 too, all set to auto - and sometimes HWMonitor is showing clocks over 4GHz, VCore max at 1.250 - is this allright, maybe HWMon inaccuracy, or because of PBO allowed ??
2600 is a bargain now, I think X is definitely not worth extra €60.
If you can keep the R5 2600 cool the boost go to 4.0Ghz, at least mine goes.... That's really nice.
Such great value processor !
and then fight out of what mobo? a few pretty decent options from like MSI and Asus Bundled you could get...not bad at all. My Hynix kit Probably works with it. What I said good buy in late 18' I agree.

Is p-state overclocking a thing on the 2600 or does the 2600 downclock with the windows plan?
In previous FX setup I was able to make an offset overclock, varying voltage and speed, but NOT working with Ryzen for me, any ideas for that??

But will it boost to 4.25Ghz like a 2600X will? or boost only to a 2600's max of 3.9-3.95.
You could just get the 1600 cheap as it comes with the heavy cooler and use the extra coin on 16Gb 3200Mhz memory as mine hits 2600x Fire Strike scores at 3.95Ghz with memory above 2933Mhz but that is all cores .
