SOME RYZEN 7 1700 OVERCLOCKING!

[Gibbo]

Im interested to see how the Asrock Taichi shapes up also, although i need to probably wait til memory timings get sorted out, got 3400mhz C16 Ripjaws to put in and i know for sure they are probably going to be an issue.

Taichi testing is on hold, the board Asrock gave me was a Z270 so the Ryzen is not particular liking that one at the moment.

Hahahahahahahaha hilarious

I just asked when my Asrock would be here and theyve told me there not in till next week

Still, imma keep my order and wait it out. Really curious what these boards can do.

Disappointed you cant jam it in there somehow

As I said the other day, unfortunately it does seem like mainboard manufacturers are 1-2 weeks behind CPU's.

In good news, we have 1700 and 1700X in FREE stock. We also have 500 units of 1800X due to arrive any moment which will put them into FREE stock as well.

Hi there

So we test 1700 and 1800X both at 4.0GHz and both performed identically. So chips are indeed identical.

Also on multi-threaded performance memory clock is more beneficial than outright core speed, so 3000MHz is an ideal RAM speed and focus on tightening the timings.

Trying to get confirmation if the K7 can run at stated speeds of 3600 hz , 1700 would be on order in a heat beat

 

[Yaayuh!]

Highly unlikely at this stage. It's quite brazen of them to market 3600MHz.

why im asking, 3600hz stated on website is a bold move currently, Gaming 5 stated at 3200 . Both have 2 VRMs for Ram .

Gibbo any idea on productivity benchmark difference between 2400mhz and 3000mhz.

Just wondering what percentage difference there would be?

Hm, after reading a bit i'm thinking I might be better off cancelling my 1700X and msi carbon order and changing for a 1700 and a taichi, or crosshair..

Any thoughts on this and eta of those boards of I ordered today? Or should I just stick with first choice.. Hm..

Get the 1700 and a high end mobo seems to be the current thinking.

If I was buying now, that would be my choice.
Gibbo's already said that once clocked the chips are identical, so why pay more?

 

[SiDeards73]

Yep i wouldnt recommend the 1800x to anyone really, no idea why the 1700x even exists, the 1700 is the go to chip for me, coupled with a solid motherboard you should be golden.

People who never overclock and IT departments where overclocking company hardware is right up there with murder.

 

[Billy1280]

Thanks guys, ordered the 1700, still can't decide between crosshair and taichi though..

I cancelled the x yesterday and got 1700 today. Put the extra money towards better mobo which will see some cpu swaps

 

[Chrisc]

I will only be doing a small amount of overclocking, and i know this is a very open ended question, but would the cheaper asrock k4 x370 board be a good match with the 1700?

Plus the auto clock will be more aggressive I presume in the volts. RE 1700x/1800x it seems like the x stands for xtra donation to Amd! (god that was lame )

@Gibbo

Would these be a good match for a 1700:

Yes 3000 is the sweet spot!

Above 3000 even in Crosshair is fiddly, 3200 seems max, whereas all the other mainboards are stuck at 2400-2666 so far, though we are yet to try Taichi and Carbon, but the MSI 370 SLI and Asus Prime did not want to go much beyond 2400MHz!

3600MHz is absolute flat out NO on any mainboard at present!
