AMD YD1700BBAEBOX Ryzen 7 1700 Processor with Wraith Spire RGB LED Cooler

Absolutely superb processor for the money asked of it. Too Long; Didn't Read: This is a high end spectrum CPU, with vast potential for overlocking. If you're not after high end gear, look toward something more akin to a Ryzen 5/ I5 processor. As always with such crucial and expensive parts, do some research before hand. Make sure you've got the right motherboard not just for this processor unit, but for yourself as well. AMD do two types of motherboards you'll want to look at for this CPU; the B350 and the X370. The B350 being more mid range and the X370 being more high end range. Now, onto the CPU itself. Intel's iX series processors are amazing and have been for years, nobody can argue that. However, for the first time in a long time, AMD have really outdone themselves with the Ryzen series. If you're looking into *pure* gaming, I may still say to look at a high end iX series. If you're looking to do more than just game, I'd certainly recommend an equivalent tier Ryzen. Even then, Ryzen processors are outstanding at gaming as well. This particular chip, the 1700, comes with a surprisingly brilliant stock "Wraith" cooler and a lower price point than the 1700x or the 1800x. So you're already looking at better value and less work, since an appropriate cooler comes with. Now, most importantly if you're looking at higher end processors; *all* the Ryzen processors are unlocked, the 1700 included. Not only this, but they're the same chip as the 1700x and 1800x, but with lower default settings. What this means is that you can have a 1700x/ 1800x for the price of a 1700, if you're not afraid to do a little overclocking. I will forwarn you that overclocking can be very dangerous to your system, so if you plan on doing it, either do alot of research, get some friends who know about it and are willing to help, or both. That being said, if you're unsatisfied with a 1600/ Ryzen 5 and don't want to fork out the <£300 for a Ryzen 7/ 1700x/ 1800x yet don't want to overclock, this is an astounding processor. I, personally, am a coder, so I have multiple IDEs and windows and so on and so forth open and running at any one time, which can be quite taxing on a CPU. For comparison, a sentiment analysis machine I was using consumed 80~90% of my Quad Core i5 @ 3.8Ghz, but barely even hits 50% of my Ryzen 1700 even without overclocking. I'm certain other people running even more demanding tasks can make better use of this processor than I. Really, with the 1700 existing like it is, there's no reason to ever go for a 1700x or an 1800x unless you really want to eek out that little bit more for considerably more money.

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.

Picked this over a 1600 6 core and glad I did. Definitely glad I waited and never went with the 7700k intel. I think I paid around £285 for this and I hope it will support my main PC for the next 5 years. With 8 cores and 16 threads I find I am able to jump onto open webpages while gaming with no hitch. System is snappy once booted up despite still running a 5500rpm hard disk rather than SSD. Expect to do photo/video editing with this CPU so tested some benchmarks. Managed 1385 multi thread in Cinebench R15 with ram at 3000Mhz but CPU bone stock. Some people report scores of 1400 but I am not too concerned with my missing 15 points. 7700k is under 1000 with an overclock. So its got power for heavy lifting now and I think lots of threads may help give it a decent life span. I don;t think this will ever overclock as well as an i5 or i7 but running stock my power draw is low - about 70W for the whole system (inc GPU etc) at idle and getting over 200W when stress testing. Also runs cool (54 degrees c max) and quiet. Can hear case fans but not the (supplied) CPU cooler fan. Just hope new software/games/OS take advantage of cores over clocks...

This is a very powerful CPU, and the price is incredibly good for what it is, and at 65W TDP! There is simply no Intel competition to this at all on their mainstream platform, let alone at anywhere close to the 1700's TDP or price. With sixteen threads it handles most tasks without breaking a sweat (expect CPU usage under 10% most of the time!), and tearsthrough multi-threaded workloads. As a programmer, being able to do `make -j16` to fire off a 16-threaded compilation is quite incredible and delivers a more than ten times speed improvement over my Intel laptop. And when it comes to games, this thing is far from bottlenecking my GPU. The included cooler is quite good, too. It's both quieter than my case fan and much less annoying, even under load. And as a bonus, the cooler has a pretty RGB LED ring! It looks beautiful in action. (Mind you, the cable to connect it to your motherboard is quite finicky, and you'll probably knock it out of its socket on the cooler whenever you work inside your case.)

Ordered this CPU for my new upgraded rig, being the core hardware for my build. The first thing to know, although you can work around this, is that it is only compatible with Windows 10 OS', which is something I wish I had known or people had talked about more while I was researching about the Ryzens for my build. Although it requires a lot of wiggling around, I managed to get this working with Windows 7 although it's not a 'setup and go' process if you decide to overlook this incompatibility. If you prefer Windows 7 or 8 over 10, you will have issues to work with to get it working - USB drivers will need to be setup before/with your OS or you can't complete the installation process (keyboard and mouse simply won't work due to lack of drivers), so I don't like this about the Ryzen off the bat, but you can work around it, so this was not a complete flaw. As for performance, it's been a fantastic step up for me from my previous AMD APU - the Ryzen 1700 benchmarks made it 3x more powerful than my previous CPU. The performance difference will differ depending on the CPU you're switching from, but this is my experience. A heat-sink comes with the Ryzen 1700 which makes this honestly exceptional to the 1700X and 1800X which do not come with heat-sinks, to my knowledge. A friend advised this one over the other two as the performance difference is minimal and the extra cost for the other CPUs plus the cost of a heat-sink that isn't provided with the other models makes the 1700 the best option in my opinion. I personally do not have a lot of experience fitting hardware (aside from installing GPUs), however with the help of my partner, it was relatively straight forward. If you do have experience installing hardware, this will be easy for you. I initially had issues securing it to the motherboard, however I simply advise you monitor all the little screws, etc, as they are easy to lose track of - especially if you're installing a fresh rig with lots of little parts for different pieces of hardware. Overall, I'm really content with my Ryzen 1700 - it's been a fantastic hardware upgrade which enables me to work faster and play more intensive games. The Ryzen isn't what you would consider a dedicated gaming CPU, but it can definitely run very well for a gaming rig if you have a tighter budget. I work as a video editor and artist, with gaming as a major hobby of mine - and my rig runs everything I need very efficiently. My only gripe is what I described above regarding Windows 7, but even that isn't a problem once I finally got around it.

This CPU destroys any task with as much ease as opening a bottle of vimto, its hysterically quick. once the cpu is fully optimized for games in about 6 months it will be a real pound for pound intel killer. its a beast, especially on the asrock ax370 boards. theres not one thing NOTHING it cant run, really is a hell of a workhorse cpu, if your into video editing this cpu is for you, the equivalent in price intels are nowhere near as quick as this. I find it laughable that to get this performance with intel you need to pay nearly double the amount of money, i can see Intel going out of business if they dont start sorting their inflated prices out. there are various videos on youtube showing this cpu at stock beating a 7700k overclocked at rendering video and streaming content, this one is 65w now thats very good, my computer is running win10 home so fast its comical, 3 seconds to boot for starters. amd are bringing out more ryzen cpus after christmas as well! In all my 25 years as a pc builder, this beaut hits the spot bigtime, no messing its an absolute winner. the 1700 is the one to go for, forget the X versions, this will clock as high or even higher than the others on the right motherboard, everything else is the same as the X versions as well, so it doesnt make sense to buy one. well worth the money.

First the bad news: When I received this item, the outer courier packaging was perfectly sealed, however my heart sank to see that the security seal on the product box was sliced open. The cooler was in the box however the Ryzen CPU had obviously been stolen prior to posting. I was very disappointed, and thought I would have a fight on my hands to prove my innocence. To my relief, Amazon were fantastic and sent a replacement immediately, and I was able to send back the Box and Cooler in question free of charge. Top marks to Amazon, although I would feel much better knowing how this was able to happen and that the culprit was sacked and reported to the police. As for the product itself, the sheer bang for your money is superb for video and photo editing and obviously gaming too. The low energy consumption is a small bonus too. The LED Cooler supplied with the CPU is also very effective and very quiet. Under normal load I had to check it was actually working it was so quiet. I have no doubt this will be my workhorse for quite a few years. 5 stars to AMD for such a superb product. Highly recommended! ...and kudos to Amazon for their excellent customer service!

[Update 5 May 2017:] The Ryzen-7 1700 is an amazing chip for its price, it overclocks on an Arctic-33 cooler to a decent 3.9GHz frequency at a 1.375V CPU core voltage installed on an MSI X370 Carbon Pro mother board. All cores run at overclocked speed, unlike its competition.I had a pair of Corsair 8gb x2 kit rated at 3200MHz. The MSI BIOS was flushed to revision 1.4 using the live update tool.The RAM kit runs at 2933MHz for now, expect that to hit full 3200MHz speed after more BIOS updates. The A-XMP profile-1 & 2 did not work for the RAM. I expect that to work after a new BIOS updates from MSI. The so called platform Ecosystem will take at least a year to settle down in my humble opinion. The Cine Bench-15 scores a superb 1719. CPU-Z shows a multi threaded score of 4820 and a single threaded score of 453.A 30gb blu-ray movie trans-coding took me 45 minutes to complete without GPU acceleration which used to take 3 days on my Core-i5 system.I used an EVGA platinum rated power supply to hit a nominal 94% electric efficiency connected to a 230V mains supply.The chip's performance feels organic and smooth like a peanut and butter for its 65W rated power consumption! Well done, AMD !

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.

J’ai acheté ce Ryzen 7 1700 en 2017, et il m’a vraiment bien servi pendant plusieurs années. Avec ses 8 cœurs et 16 threads, il a tenu le rythme entre gaming, multitâche et travail un peu plus lourd sans broncher. Je suis très content de sa longévité et de sa fiabilité. Il chauffait peu avec un bon ventirad, et il restait très stable même en usage intensif. Un excellent processeur pour son époque, qui mérite pleinement ses étoiles. Je recommande sans hésiter, surtout si vous cherchez un bon rapport qualité-prix.

Satisfeito com a compra

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
