Still think 1700 is best. 93% do 100 MHz over rated turbo. that's a preety solid # not to mention lower leakage chips are more resilient to voltage and willing to accept voltage vs higher leakage. My 1700 can run stable at higher voltage.
The 1700x and 1800x reach a certain voltage and say FU after that point.
Of course this may change as I test more chips but for now.......
As we can see by that the % of higher models doing 100 MHz over there rated turbo drops significantly
Doing 4gig on a 1800x that has Xfr to 4.1 and turbo @4.0 is not spectacular. Not to mention the heat that will need to be dealt with.
Sux to be ln2 guys though. binning gonna be expensive.
