SOME RYZEN 7 1700 OVERCLOCKING!

I think people were saying air and water 1700, ln2 1800x,1700x ...nobody knows

The 1700 actually ran a good 10c cooler.

Gibbo have you tried to disable XFR and boost on a 1800X, and try clock it to it's limits?
Because it seems that is the cause for the 1800X running hotter than the 1700, showing less perf.

Saw a review today, the 1700 @3.9 was running circles around the 1800X, including lower temps, when shouldn't be the case :/

Mine will receive a dual Nemesis 480GTX treatment. And if it feels warm, I will drop a third rad in the loop....... It will either comply of get more cooling.
Alternative next step, use those external radiators, which are as big as the Thermaltake P5 case

I do find it rather nuts how the RAM speeds are so low atm, I'm hoping this can be sorted and 3200mhz be the norm, anyone who says RAM doesn't matter needs their noggin hit.

Yes in the Asus Crosshair!

B350 motherboards seem to be very weak for overclocking at present, so avoid those if OC.
Tried MSI 370 SLI board, CPU overclocked OK, but refused to run beyond 2400MHz RAM, clearly BIOS bug.

So in short Crosshair is the only board I can recommend.
We should get the Taichi tested tomorrow which should be a good one hopefully.

Thanks Gibbo the review and advice.

How well did the mid range Asus prime and the MSI x370 pro carbon do overclocking ??
I assume you would recommend the higher end boards to better results now and in the future ?

Will you be rechecking your tests once the bios updates start rolling ?

I'm thinking of getting the 1700 what type of cooling would you recommend ?
I was looking at the Thermalright true 140 power or the cooler master seidon 240v

Can someone make head or tails of the following https://www.facebook.com/theoverclo...46028454.301569.72682703453/10155035829263454 and perhaps try some stuff on a 1700?

For me 1700 is obvious choiice. Runs cooler than 1800X. OC to same level.... Absolute no brainer!!

The 1700 just uses a bit more power when running at 4ghz compared to the others.

sityeuropa · 4 Mar 2017 at 09:55

Quick question, if overclocking the 1700, will it ramp up to a potential 4ghz when under load or will it always be at 4ghz?

8 Pack · 4 Mar 2017 at 10:04

Solid 4ghz always.

Billy1280 · 4 Mar 2017 at 10:10

do you think 4ghz is going to be a realistic 24/7 oc on a 1700 + Taichi? will be using corsair h110i extreme performance AIO

8 Pack · 4 Mar 2017 at 10:10

AIO 240 is the ideal solution for me for this chip.

TWST did a lot of testing on single rad which was pushed at the top end OC but still able to do the job. So I think 240mm AIO is perfect to ensure good headroom.

I am testing this Monday/ Tuesday so will post back then when I am sure exactly what I will offer in my bundles.

Oh... sounds very sweet
What do you mean by.. fine? For me, fine temps are below 65C under water on overclocked CPU.

NO they are not. STOP TALKING JUNK!!!!!!!!

I bet you really get a huge performance boost when your clocking imposing such exciting and extravagant limits...

Omega · 4 Mar 2017 at 11:20

Hi 8 Pack,

I have a 1800x on a 240 AIO and it idles around 57c and peaks to 75c on load. Are these safe temps for long term use?

8 Pack · 4 Mar 2017 at 11:24

^^Ofcourse!!!

Yeah memory actually really important for efficiency.. A high oc on mem like 3200 from 2400 was like 200 Mhz cpu oc without even touching timings. So it's like turning 4G cpu speed to 4.2!!

This for me should be a priority for AMD

Omega · 4 Mar 2017 at 11:25

Ok thanks for the confirmation! Yeah I'm having problems getting the ram to 2666mhz... But i am on a M-ATX chipset. Lets hope the bios updates resolve these issues in the future

Frozennova · 4 Mar 2017 at 12:02

Can't get my Gigabyte B350 Gaming 3 over 2666mhz even with super loose timings. Now to see what sort of cpu of I can manage

mattyc1977 · 4 Mar 2017 at 12:47

when clocks set to 4.0GHZ constantly, do they still step down when low load and reduce the voltage? Like intel speed step?

mattyc1977 · 4 Mar 2017 at 12:50

And another question (aimed at 8pack!), do you think once all the "issues" get resolved/ironed out, the 1700 will still be the "better" chip compared to a 1800x? The 20 degree temperature difference is really making me want to return the 1800x and get the 1700 and just clock to 4.0ghz...
