these things fucking tear through multithreaded benchmarks

Watercooled dual cpu^?
Why not go for single cpu amd 16 cores 32 threads?

Here's mine cinebench test (single cpu, base clock speed)

just air cooled now

went for these because they were dirt cheap, $90 each, pulled from decommissioned servers
also still had my ws board to hand

I'd only go for Ryzen if it were an 8 core, otherwise generally I'd stick to the 7600k. 2x8gb is probably the better option, both the platforms you mentioned are only dual channel so you won't gain performance by using 4x4gb instead and probably only save like $2 by doing so while dicking upgradability.

Higher memory clocks do make a big difference for Ryzen if you do go down that route, especially in gaming, as the cores are split into 'groups', with the speed of communication between each group being tied to the memory clock speed. It's typically only a small difference in synthetic benchmarks as there is little generally little communication between threads, however in gaming there is much more communication between threads meaning much bigger impact.

It might also be worth swapping out the SSD for an M.2 NVME one (eg. SM961), you'll get much faster speeds but less capacity for your $.
