I hate being relegated to to r5 1600 or r7 1700 because of lack of cooling options totally annoying upside my case probably won't be here for at least another month, here's hoping a mini miracle happens between now and then in regards to low profile ryzen cooler options
You've already stated you don't want to even think about overclocking, "no matter how easy it is," so I have to ask...
Why in the everloving hell is .3 MHz of boost clock so gosh-darned important to you that you're that upset you can't spend an extra $180 on it?
