AMD YD170XBCAEWOF Ryzen 7 1700X Processor

Just a beast of a cpu. Can munch through multithreaded tasks brilliantly and a great performer for gaming. Now let me stop you there. ''Great performer for gaming'' Yes that is true. I have played all the latest games on it and getting a solid 60+ frames on ultra and above without the cpu even breaking a sweat. Yes a 7700k is a brillant chip for gaming but for how long. Games are slowly utilizing more cores and threads so this will pay of in the long run and now intel have started hex core and above cpu's in there main line up on there x299 boards it will force devs and game manufactures to utilize that technology so its winner winner chicken dinner. You need to look at the games out there and work out for your self what frame rate you want to play out and what resolution. Look at the bench marks and the 7700k is levelling or beating this cpu on some titles but look at the bench marks a little closer and specificaly look at 2k and above.. Those games the ryzen was lagging behind on now suddenly its matching or beating the 7700k simple due to more cpu power needed for higher res and this cpu can delivery it. Its only going to get better and better for this cpu.

As the title says, this CPU is a monster for the price! I currently have mine clocked to 4Ghz and it is beast on the desktop and in Games. This is a fantastic CPU, definitely worth taking a peak if you're wanting to start in PC Gaming and not have to pay ridiculous prices that Intel are offering. This CPU is super close in terms of performance to the i7 7700k and half the price! Easy to install and easy to control with the help of the Ryzen Master software where you can Tweak your custom or premade 'gaming' preset which clocks the CPU up to 4Ghz for you without the worry of voltages and timings on your RAM. Now this CPU won't be churning out games on Max settings but I've been playing majority of my beefy titles like GTAV, Watchdogs 2, Witcher 3, AC Origins and all on Very High settings paired with my 980Ti with either MSAA or MSAAx2 - MSAA with maybe 2 or 3 frames dropped here and there - MSAAx2 with around maybe 4 or 6 frames dropped, so it's definitely playable if you want to get a little better quality but the regular MSAA is your best bet if you want to play Very High settings with 60fps 98% of the time 👌🏻

AMD Ryzen 7 1700X a lot of the Pro's and Cons have already been written all over the Internet about this CPU, it's quirky and a bit of a gamble as to what Ghz you can get it to run at without crashes, mine runs at a mere 3.40 Ghz which I'm not exactly ecstatic about...

Review for AMD Ryzen 7 1700X First one i bought was used, thought i would save myself a few quid but found it was covered in thermal paste and worst was dead. Returned it for a brand new one. New one worked fine. The CPU does NOT come with a cooler. Its just the CPU and a sticker in the box. In use the CPU is very nippy. Can’t say I have had any slowdowns or stability issues. I use it for office work, watching films and encoding videos. It really excels at encoding videos. Compared to my other two PCs. e.g. encoding 45 minute video from x264 1080p to x265 (HEVC) 720p in handbrake my old AMD A10 5700 would average 10-15fps and take about 70-100 mins my i7 Lynnfield overclocked to 3GHz averages 20 fps takes about 60 mins the 1700x at stock speed runs at 55-60 fps takes about 20 mins

I was torn between getting a ryzen 1800x and a 1700x but a little research revealed that the two cpus are basically identical with exception to the difference in their default clock speeds respectfully (a small margin which gives the 1800X a little bit more headroom when overclocking frequencies come into play) but in the long run the differences/similarities senario reminds me of the AMD FX8350 vs FX9590 senario where despite the fx9590 being a somewhat faster than the fx8350, the fx8350 could be overclocked to the point that it would match or at least make the speed difference between the two seem insignificant when comparing the two. The price difference between the two ryzen 7 cpus was a bit under £100 so I went with the 1700X and have no regrets whatsoever. I stuck the cpu in an asus rog crosshair hero 6 and reused an AM3 backplate from an old asus m3n-ht motherboard I had lying around to mount a corsair H100i v2 liquid cooler and voila! an impressive monster which when coupled with some decent corsair grade 2400/3200 ddr4 ram and it's the business. The cpu was delivered on time and as described when ordered: new and in mint condition.

As with most CPU's etc.. you're fced wit the silicone lottery.. My CPU top's out at 3.8Ghz I couldn't push it more.. (perhaps I could if I was more experenced). I wasn't prepared to fry my CPU. I got a shop in my town to buld my PC. I couldn't comment on how easy it was to install and set up. I use my PC for gaming and streaming most of the time. It handles the latest titles with ease. Well worth the money even now the 2700 is out.. This CPU will be a bargain.. buy it.

Thermal paste all over the cpu when arrived.

Disappointed it did not come with a cooler. That information should be in the product description not in the question section. Everything else was fine.

Bonjour, J'ai acheté ce processeur, car cela faisait longtemps que je souhaitais changer mon vieux 2600K, seulement il fallait une bonne raison, et les 10% de plus par génération offert pas Intel ne me paraissaient pas du tout justifier les hausses de prix. Pour l'aspect esthétique, rapidement, la boite et très classe et le processeur estampillé Ryzen très beau. Mais cela n'est pas le plus important puis qu'on ne le verra pas. Voici mon avis : - L'installation se fait sur un socket AM4 d'AMD, les pins étant sur le processeur et non plus sur la carte mère je n'ai plus peur d'abimer celle-ci, et je ne me demande plus si le problème viendrait pas d'un pin tordu de la carte mère quand celle-ci à un comportement étrange. Premier bon point. - Les performances qui sont vraiment au top pour tout les logiciels professionnels que j'utilise. Je n'ai pour l'instant, jamais eu le moindre soucis de latence avec ce processeur. La seule chose que je lui reproche sont ses performances sur Winrar, qui gère très mal ce processeur, les performances restent bonnes, mais bien en deçà de ce qu'on peut attendre d'un 8 cœurs. Ce processeur montre réellement toutes ses capacités dans le multitâches, pour un streamer par exemple, c'est la perfection : Jouez, Filmez, Uploadez, sans que cela n'impacte jamais les performances en jeu. - L'overclocking est facile et pouvant facilement faire gagner 25% de performance pour ceux qui ont en besoin, je n'ai jamais vu un modèle 1700X ne pas atteindre les 4,0Ghz. Cependant, c'est régulièrement une fréquence plancher pour beaucoup de modèle, et de ce point de vue là, le 1700 est préférable au 1700X. Déjà il n'a pas d'offset de 20 degré sur la température, et il est plus ou moins capable d'atteindre les mêmes fréquences. le 1700X et 1800X sont à privilégiés pour ceux qui ne comptent pas overclocker. - Les températures si non overclocké, le processeur a un très bon comportement sous watercooling AIO, ne chauffant pas de trop et ne mettant pas à mal la durée de vie des autres composants. - Le coup de pied dans la fourmillière : Alors qu'Intel nous fait croire qu'il a rien de mieux que des 4 cores, on voit depuis la sorti des processeurs d'AMD qu'Intel nous cachait beaucoup de chose et faisait de la veille technologique sur le dos des consommateurs, tout en ne baissant jamais ses tarifs, AMD a mit fin à ça avec ses nouveau processeur et c'est une bonne chose pour les consommateurs.

Processore di qualche anno fa ma che riesce a competere senza compromessi con i processori di ultima generazione. È velocissimo pressoché in tutte le operazioni dall'editing al gaming senza il minimo impuntamento, l'ho montato su una scheda madre b450 aorus m ha funzionato perfettamente dal primo avvio. Sono rimasto stupefatto anche dalle temperature, anche dopo una sessione di gaming con temperature estive molto calde e il processore a pieno carico non ha mai superato i 45° centigradi. È il primo AMD che ha soddisfatto al 100% se non addirittura superato le mie aspettative. Per chi ha un budget limitato ma vuole prestazioni e affidabilità è un best buy.

Excelente producto y en muy buen precio! Demuestra que año a año no tiene nada que envidiar de intel y su precio lo hace una preferencia instantánea.

Excellent piece of engineering! 8 cores 16 Threads CPU at very affordable price, especially when computer parts are in shortage. Easily overclockable to 4.1GHz at 1.35V. This thing is gonna overtake the Zen 2, 3700 at stock speed for half the price! Highly recommended, especially when it has entered the price point below 120USD, new from Amazon. A direct installation on MSI X470 Carbon.

I got this on sale, and only been using it a week or so. I must say its impressive how far AMD has come since its last generation. There was nothing from Intel that could beat this in price and performance. The motherboard i bought with it was the "GIGABYTE GA-AB350-Gaming 3" which was on sale for just over 100 dollars. Just amazing value here. Similar Intel motherboard and cpu would have set me back almost double the cost and had no noticeable gains for me. I got this to replace an old 2600k cpu. So far its literally twice as fast in benchmarks i've run on it compared to my 2600k that was overclocked to 4.6ghz.... and its 3 times faster than my 8 core bulldozer cpu i had. But its single threaded performance is just slightly better over the 2600k, but still good enough that you could easily game on this unless you are a 144/200hz gamer. Someone running 60 to 75hz will easily hit those framerates with this. Likely over 100fps in most games if they use the threads. Unless a game is horribly optimized and a complete cpu hog that only runs on 1-2 threads, this cpu should run games good. But i'm actually using this cpu for mainly heavily threaded applications and won't be gaming on it much. Comparing it with the 2600k i7, i did a power test on it, and it uses about 25-30 watts less power at idle than my 4.6ghz overclocked 2600k. I assume it uses over 60-80 watts less power than my bulldozer cpu but i didnt test it directly to it. Since it was the 1700x I got, it didn't come with a cooler, so i bought a Noctua NH-U12S SE-AM4 to cool it. It works well, the temps keep the 1700x at 31-32c at idle, and 42c at 30% cpu usage, and 63-64c at 100% usage (older version of prime95 was used to max cpu, 20 min test). I think one thing to look out for is VRM temps on these ryzen motherboards, they get really hot. At 100% cpu usage i noticed my vrm temp hit a max of around 112c. But when i put a small 80mm fan above the heatsink of the VRM, dropped the temps to 65c under the same load. But under mild load the vrm won't hit 112c, so this all depends on how long your cpu will be hitting 100% load and how long you want your capacitors on your motherboard to survive. A simple fan above the heatsink gives you a lot of cooling on it and makes you feel safer by cutting those temps in half. Fortunately the motherboard i got let me monitor those temps and fix the problem easily with some airflow. So i'm happy with this cpu, if you can get it on sale its a steal. This cpu can do everything i need, and am looking forward to what AMD can do with other ryzen cpus in the future. I haven't tried to overclock this at all and probably won't since i'm getting enough performance from it. From what i heard you can only overclock them up to 4ghz or so, and its hard to know if its worth the extra power usage for small gains, i'd have to look into it further.
