AMD Ryzen 3700x: A Perfect CPU For Video Game Streamers? (PROACTIVE)edit
The Ryzen 7 3700x uses the Zen2 architecture which makes several 7nm CPU dies and a 12nm I/O die. Another feature that I love about 3700x is the 65-watt TDP, measured at boost clock. I tested the CPU at a fairly cool temperature and the AMD Precision Boost remained active almost all the time. With a lower price point and objectively better performance in gaming and productivity, the Ryzen 7 3700x is one of the best CPUs to buy in 2020 if you’re looking to build a PC in Rs 60,000 (~$850). However, if you’re low on budget then the Ryzen 5 series also has plenty of CPU chips to offer which you can choose.

Sapphire Pulse AMD RX 5600 XT Review (PROACTIVE)edit
If your choice is between the RX 5600 XT and the RTX 2060, it mainly boils down to one question – how much do you care about ray tracing? Just go through the list of current and upcoming titles that have ray tracing support. If you think they’re the kind of games you’d enjoy more and want to see RTX in action, by all means go with the 2060. But if all you’re looking for is raw performance and want the best framerate at highest settings when gaming at 1080p, the RX 5600 XT is hands down the best option available in the market right now.

AMD Wraith Prism Cooler vs 360mm AIO Liquid Cooler: Performance with the Ryzen 9 3900X (PROACTIVE)edit
AMD’s wraith prism cooler is easily the best stock CPU thermal solution out there. But RGB and aesthetics aside, is it any good is it in terms of actual function? The Ryzen 3000 processors are governed by the Precision Boost 2 algorithm which in turn is fairly temperature-sensitive, among other things. Without a liquid cooler, it’s nearly impossible to get to the spec boost frequency, let alone overclock the CPUs.
