TailinksIt is also 65 TDP vs 95 TDP not saying this means something to everyone but it is important if you want to build for energy efficiency.

TailinksBasically, though not quite. 1600x's have been binned, so youre more likely to get a good chip with them.

GarzhadThis. Also it comes with a better stock cooler IIRC? Would be interesting to have it at the 1600's regular price

PickledTripodStock coolers should always be discarded. I mean, yeah, they are better than intel but that doesnt mean much. You cant really get a 1600 past 3.7GHz with the temps you get on stock; I know because ive tried on a recent build for a friend. You need some like the 212 hyper evo at least, or some other good single-tower cooler. If you want more, get one of corsairs clc's or something. The giant twin-tower coolers are a massive pain in the ass that makes the little bit more a clc costs worth it. Again, another thing I know personally, having used a phanteks tc14pe before.
