YD1700BBAEBOX Ryzen 7 1700 Processor with Wraith Spire LED Cooler

What a great price for such a beast of a processor. I was so excited to build my first PC and also use this new chipset! I liked the performance adjustments you can seem to get out of this one over the x version, so I left the included cooler in the box and put it in storage. Then I brought out my Corsair AIO and hooked it up to my new 1700. Given a high RAM diet, this chip absolutely flies. Rendering and streaming are very quick. I can stream with OBS at 6300 bitrate at 1080p60fps with NO dips in performance ever. OBS tends to be quite CPU intensive, so this is quite nice (and luckily my internet speeds can keep up). People said this isn't as good at gaming as Intel's lineup. I'm sorry, but I just don't see it. I play all the latest AAA titles as well as competitive ESports titles at 1080p super-sampled to 4k when applicable, max graphics, etc, with no dips in performance, issues with frames, tearing, or anything but the best visuals in gaming I've experienced so far. As I mentioned earlier, this chip loves RAM. I had 16GB of 3200MHz RAM to start, but found that I needed an additional 32GB to really max out my streaming as well as my video editing. 32GB 3200MHz seems to really keep this chip happy and producing great numbers both in benchmarks and in render times, stream reliability and speed, etc. I have this overclocked to 4.1GHz on all cores. This was a trial though. I'm having an issue in the BIOS (ASUS TUF board) where I can't overclock past 3.65GHz unless I play with voltages. The problem is that if I change the voltages for the CPU literally at all, in any direction, the system reboots with a default speed of 1.5GHz on all cores. The only way to get past this was to use the Ryzen Master software. I actually had tried it earlier but thought it didn't work. Turns out it gives you an error saying the application of your overclocked failed, but it really doesn't. If you look at the output, your overclock runs just fine. The part of the program many people don't like is that every time you turn your computer on after being off, it resets to default speed. So every time I go onto my computer I must apply my OC before I game in order to have consistent gaming performance and streaming. I don't mind this at all though. Just keep it in mind when you get this chip. All in all this chip is my pride and joy. I brag about it a bit because it's better than I am in pretty much every way. Paired with a GTX 1080, my system can do just about anything. Ryzen 7 1700 is probably the best chip for the price if you're looking for the higher end as a gaming/editing/streaming usecase.

At the time of purchase, this product was one of the best options I could invest in for my desktop PC. It competes head-to-head with an Intel processor, and at a much lower price. Ryzen 7 is an excellent investment for your PC. I used it specifically for graphic design, and it worked wonders. It's also versatile for gaming, delivering exceptional performance to your PC. Of course, you'll need a decent amount of RAM to make the combo work properly, along with a motherboard with all the best features.

Upgraded from a 8320 which didn't take to any overclock over 4.3ghz, even when throwing well over 1.5 volts at it. The 8320 was getting sluggist, and bottlenecked my rx 480 in most cpu-intensive games. Aside from the rocky launch, upgrading to this was a night-and-day difference. When overclocked, this chip is held back by my 480, and during heavy gaming, only sips 40-50 watts of power according to the newest version od HWMonitor. When unzipping files, usage sits at under 10%, and the whole thing is bottlenecked by my hard drive's read speed, instead of the cpu. I'm no content creator, so I've yet to find any everyday workload that will bring the CPU-usage above 20% or so. The stock cooler is really quite impressive. It's bulky, with a huge chunk of copper in the center right on top of the CPU. It kept my chip under 70 degrees, even at 3.7ghz. I loved the RGB fan, which is nice to show off if you have a windowed case like me. To me it's almost funny how good this STOCK cooler is, because if THIS high-quality cooler is what just comes in the box for an AMD processor, it makes it look like Intel hates you by comparison, which isn't too far from the truth. I got it overclocked to 3.7ghz without touching voltage (stock 1.185v). it hit 3.8ghz at 1.275v, which had the pleasant side-effect of making my 3200mhz ram stable at 2933mhz (it WOULD work at 3200mhz, but would take a few restarts to post, so I just left it at 2933 for stability's sake). However I wasn't able to get my chip 24/7 stable at 3.9ghz as it wanted at least 1.37 volts, which made it run much too hot for my cooler (a Cooler Master Hyper T4). From what I've heard, Ryzen seems to hit a wall at about 4ghz, so I'm pretty satisfied with 3.8ghz. I'm sitting at R7 1800x performance at almost half the price, which is fine by me. Even at 3.8ghz, Ryzen wipes the floor with all but the highest end Skylake and Kaby Lake chips, and comes biting at the heels of the 6900k. Which is unbelievable considering Ryzen's low price tag. As far as the problems go, there are really only two main ones. It's already been a month or so, and it doesn't look like RAM speeds will be going up for Ryzen any time soon. At least not with a simple BIOS update. You should still keep your BIOS up to date, but I think the RAM speed problem might run deeper than the BIOS. Either way, with my few hours of overclocking, I've managed to get 2933mhz RAM, which is about where speeds should have been to begin with, so my experience hasn't changed much. The second problem stems from Ryzen's design. These 8-core chips are, in very simple terms, two quad-core 'core complexes' stuck together. And if reports are to be believed, these two complexes have problems communicating between one another, so if two co-dependant threads are stuck by windows on separate complexes, performance takes a rather large hit. I personally haven't had any noticeable problems with this, but if it IS true, then I'd have to wag my finger at AMD for having such a fundamental flaw in the architecture. I would list the gaming performance as a problem, but nobody buys a $350+ processor just to game at 1080p on low settings, and this CPU is far from bottlenecking my RX 480, even with it's 1400mhz overclock. So this chip still gets a big thumbs-up from me in gaming. Overall, I think AMD has really hit it out of the park with Ryzen. While it may fall behind Intel's Skylake and Kaby Lake in single-threaded performance, it's no Bulldozer, and can keep up well where it counts.

Good clock speed and easy to install. Only problem is that I ordered an aftermarket cooler (Hyper Evo 212), and I needed to order an additional bracket to install it on my motherboard. If you aren't going to use the stock CPU cooler, make sure the aftermarket cooler you get doesn't need some sort of upgrade bracket. Other than the need for an upgrade to mount an aftermarket cooler, this is a great CPU. I may come back to edit this review after I have overclocked.

Llevo ya un mes con este procesador ya que lo adquirí en HotSale por menos de 5000 pesos y a MSI, Tenia en la mira este procesador desde hace meses y aprovechando un cupón lo conseguí a un muy buen precio, estuve indesicio si comprar este o el 1700x (3.4 Ghz de stock), Me decí por este ya que incluye un muy buen Cooler con RGB, el procesador por si solo con el software de Ryzen Master trabaja a 3.2 Ghz casi siempre aún sin hacer OC. Vivo en el norte del país donde la tempreatura de ambiente la mayoria del año es de entre 30 y 45 y la temperatura del procesador no sobrepasa los 49 grados (aún sin encender el Aire Acondicionado en la recamara). La principal función que le doy a este procesador es para hacer render de videos a 1080p con Sony Vegas y me sorprende que pueda seguir escuchando música, ver videos en youtube y editar documentos al mismo tiempo sin notar una baja en el rendimiento. Para Gaming no tengo ninguna queja; juegos como PUBGs se ven y se sienten suaves a 1080p 60fps. He probado hacer streaming y jugar al mismo tiempo (Fornite, Doom, Destiny 2, PUBGs, WoW, Ovewatch) sin perder calidad en juego o stream aún cuando solo tengo un módulo de RAM de 8Gb a 2100Mhz. Lo tengo con una MotherBoard MSI B350 ya que no siento la necesidad de hacer un OC muy extremo. El paquete llegó en un dia y muy bien protegido dentro de una caja con envoltura de aire, caja del procesador sin golpes y con sus sellos intactos.

Satisfeito com a compra

Like many i was a bit unsure going AMD due to inconsistencies in all areas. But ive found it the opposite. Overclocking is a piece of cake, multiplier and voltage and thats it. knowing your limited to 3.9 or 4.0 is handy to (mine is running 3.825). It takes no time at all compared to the days ive spent finding the optimum reliable OC on skylake (then watching the cpu cook) Ive also been running mine on the stock cooler while i wait for a noctua mounting kit and its fine! I cant encode video at 1.37volts but gaming is no problem. And important fact when comparing value - the 1700 can run out of the box - 250quid. A 8700 needs a >70quid cooler to go with it. Performance wise ive benched 3 games and its 2-1 to the the R7 over my 4.4k 6700. One game it utterly destroys the 6700, where the other 2 are close. This was at 1080p to as I wanted to really see whats going on cpu side. (im against the 1080p tests - 8core pc gamers are running hi-res displays). At 1440p im not seeing any hint of frame rate issues. PCmark comes in as a slight win for the 6700k (the 1700 being slightly ahead of my 4.4k 6600) Obviously with PCmark its up down depending on the test, but the 6700 comes out trumps in most cases due to the low core usage of the tests. And correspondingly the R7 isnt amazing single core, its noticeably behind the overclocked i5 and i7. But not that far behind in terms of IPC which was a surprise. But when you find a test to stretch all cores, its, well i dont need to even go there. Intel have shot themselves in the foot. And thats the thing, 3.8ghz is plenty fast for browsing. But double core count is a crushing advantage when the work load gets heavy. Overall, despite being a bad time to buy a cpu (prices dropping and cannon lake and Zen+, Zen2 round the corner) Im happy with my cheap upgrade from the 6700k and im glad to turn my back on the overheating, over priced yet under cored Intel lineup. Edit 04/11/17: Got my big cooler on and what a downer. My skylake inspired hyper cooled setup has gone to waste. I cant get it over 65c, with all the fans off and the cpu fans on about 30%. 5 expensive fans and new case wasted. On the bright side i could encode some video AND play a demanding game at the same time(also in silence as the fans didnt need to spin up). This 1700 has more than surpassed my expectations. Well done AMD.

Joshin amazon 店さんより￥21,590 で購入しました。 購入後すぐに、在庫がなくなったのかこの値段での表示が出なくなりましたが・・・。 第2世代Ryzenが出ましたが、2万円強でしたら価格性能比を考えるといい選択だと思っています。 65Wですし。 同じタイミングで、マザーボードにASUSTeK PRIME B350M-A、メモリにCORSAIR DDR4-2666MHz VENGEANCE LPX Series 8GB×2枚キットを購入しましたが、この構成でまったくトラブルなく動いてます。 拍子抜けしました。BIOSが安定したんですかね。 A10-7850Kからのリプレースですが、体感できるほどスピードアップしました。 特にマルチスレッド性能が高く、Windows10で仮想環境を稼働させながらゲームをしてもキビキビ動きます。 適当なベンチマーク結果を引っ張ってきて勝手な評価を書いてるサイトがたくさんありますが、信用できませんね。 十二分に性能は高いです。 OC設定を極めたい人、ベンチマーク結果に一喜一憂する人、ゲームのフレームレートを1つでも上げるためお金に糸目を付けない人でなければ選択肢に入れても良いのではないでしょうか。

UPDATE: dopo qualche giorno di utilizzo in più pubblico un aggiornamento. Dopo vari test, dovuti soprattutto a una presunta incompatibilità delle RAM (ora risolta e vanno perfettamente a 3200) ho riportato il processore alle frequenze stock. Questo perché le temperature, seppur non elevatissime, erano comunque altine e perché ci sono delle discrepanze tra le temperature del software AMD ryzen master e gli altri software come HW o SIV: a basso carico l'offset è di 3-4 gradi in più mentre al 100 per cento arriva a più di 10 gradi (e non ha nulla a che vedere con l'offset prestabilito di 20 gradi di AMD perché riguarda solamente i processori "X"). Quindi, non sapendo a quale software dare retta, ho preferito stare tranquillo Dal punto di vista delle prestazioni non cambia molto perché con il turbo mode comunque il processore alza le proprie frequenze quando necessario. Ecco, a proposito del turbo mode, consiglio a chi vuole overclockare la cpu di disattivare il turbo mode perché alza le temperature e soprattutto non è necessario in overclocking. Sono da sempre un fan di AMD ma devo ammettere che negli ultimi anni l'azienda aveva perso molti punti rispetto alla controparte che, pur non aggiornando sostanzialmente le architetture dei propri processori - che tra l'altro bollono come pentole - deteneva la leadership incontrastata del mercato. Con l'avvento di Ryzen AMD è tornata a grandi livelli. Questo processore è una bestia. In particolare la versione che ho acquistato, la 1700, è particolarmente conveniente perché è praticamente a parità di prestazioni con la 1700 x ma a un prezzo decisamente inferiore. I processori Ryzen sono tutti sbloccati e quindi predisposti all'overclock. Infatti non credo abbia senso usarli con le impostazioni di fabbrica visto che il buonissimo dissipatore in stock regge facilmente un overcloking a 37 di multiplier, ovvero 3,7 Ghz. Tra l'altro il dissipatore, combinato con la tecnologia a led rgb è uno spettacolo da vedere. Ho testato il processore in vari benchmark, soprattutto unigine Heaven and cinebench. Su unigine i fps sono notevolmente migliorati (ed ho una "vecchia" gtx 950). Su cinebench i benchmark sono impressionanti soprattutto in rendering multicore, dove batte gli intel senza appello. In single core si pone leggermente dietro, ma per quanto si è speso di meno per l'acquisto, direi che è un compromesso accettabilissimo. Che altro dire, è un processore fantastico, sono ultrasoddisfatto dell'acquisto
