Packaging: It is beautiful, i will say this is a premium package, when you open it the first thing you see is the included cooler which is amazin and the processor very well packaged too.
Cooler included: Excellent, i overclocked it to 3.7 GHZ in all cores with this stock cooler and with max load using CPUz it doesn't go over 70 C, also the RGB is so cool. Very silent cooler too.
Performance: Solid, moves Windows 10 like a joke, you can do gaming and a lot of other tasks at the same time without losing performance thanks to the 8 cores and 16 threats.
Price to performance: I will say this is the best bang for the buck, I got it for $284 which was a discount price versus an i7 8700 which is faster in gaming yes, but it also costs $400 right now, on black friday it was for around $260 so it is a great option. A lot of ppl says this is crap for gaming, well... that's not true, it is excellent, yes, intel is better but not that much (around 10%). However overall benefit from this processor is better I think, for design and gaming balance.
Good job AMD (I'm not a fan boy, all my last 5 PCs were all intel, just giving a good review to an excellent product).
Update 01/26/2018 After 2 months of usage O can say this is solo good, best bang for the money. Run my games over 100 fps with the RX580 with no issues maxed graphics, imagine what you can do pairing this with a 1080 TI. Highly recommended.
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.
I was shopping an i7-6900k paired with a couple 1080's.
I am glad I waited, even though I feared being an early adopter, this "built by me and my son computer" (1700 non X, with a pair of 480's, corsair 3200 LPX, Asus X370......) flat out blows my expectations away. For what I was going to spend on the 6900 alone, I bought the 1700, the 2 480's (nuegg MSI RX480 4gb $145ea after rebate) , the SSD a Hundy, the RAM a buck twenty and MOBO. The case, psu, W10, and hard drive were less than half the cost of one 1080.
Needless to say, the final cost to build was less than half to build a 6900 system, far less than half.
The expected performance for my needs has been far exceeded. I do game but I didn't build this for gaming, but it does game incredibly. The 13yo has confirmed completely.
This was my first ever computer build, I did not know how to flash the mobo with the latest, I watched a YouTube video and 10 minutes later - the mobo was flashed with the latest! I did not know how to overclock, I watched a YouTube video and 10 minutes later I was overclocking at 3.8 and 2966 on the ram.
My son, I encouraged him to help with the build, bios update, overclocking and software loading. Full disclosure- he pretty much entirely built the computer, flashed the bios,loaded the software ...... I just made sure he watched the videos and followed the directions on the videos. This has been great to build it with him as he has even less computer hardware and software experience than me. He now has real experience and confidence.
What he built far exceeds my expectations going in, we have learned just how easy it is to choose and assemble a computer (2 hours of a 13yo's short attention span and constant refocusing) load an operating system, flash bios, overclock this CPU and ram.
What a rewarding thing to do with him (second guess most steps really).
The results of the performance of this system, had I bought a twin from ... HP or Dell, I would still be raving about!
This computer build has completely blown away my expectations on not just how easy it was to build and tune, but also how it exceeds the performance level I was budgeting to spend over twice as much to achieve. Now we have a bunch of "fun money" that was budgeted for work... Our win, a trip to the beach becons this summer now.
I'll update with some pics, of the beach of course.

I have been a long time Intel user, not because I was a ‘fanboy’ but simply because for a consumer grade processor Intel was by far the best option. My main system has been more of a workstation than a gaming computer. I primarily use my system for heavy multi-core workloads with 3D design and content creation, I also use my system for web and systems development, along with working in mass Excel documents. My previous i7-6700k was no slouch but in these tasks, there has been a noticeable performance gain with my 8 core 1700 overclocked at 3.9GHz. The value AMD brought to the market with Ryzen is phenomenal.
To think that 1.5 years ago I was considering spending a lot more money to get a 6 core i7-6850k makes me really appreciate my willingness to see what the AMD hype was all about. But Ryzen was not all smooth sailing at first, early Bios updates were often unstable and the RAM incompatibility issues I experienced were frustrating, to say the least. My issues were more of an Asus problem and had nothing to do with my AMD processor, but I can now confidentially recommend Ryzen publicly and to friends. Recent Bios updates have helped overall stability in leaps and bounds. You no longer must read your motherboards RAM QVL listing like a religious text, as long as you get DDR4 RAM from a reputable manufacturer you are going to be okay. And as someone who relies on their computer for income stability is very important to me.
Gaming on the 1700 is pretty good paired with my GTX 1080 Ti but I recently uninstalled games from this PC as it is my work computer. The Ryzen 5 2600x is the best gaming CPU in terms of value right now and I game on my i7-6700k system anyways so I won’t comment any further other than the i7 is my better gaming CPU. Until multi-core gaming optimization improves Intel CPU’s will remain at the top of gaming performance due to their better single core performance and the higher frequencies the i7 CPU’s can clock to.
Moving forward the AM4 lineup is worth investing in, I’m sure many of you have seen the leaked information on the upcoming 7nm Zen CPU’s. I would take the leaked information with a grain of salt, but it looks promising and as AMD has promised AM4 support through to 2020 it means we can likely run the new Ryzen 7 3000 series CPU on our current motherboards. Their lies my main reason for buying a Ryzen CPU right now. I think buying the best R7 CPU currently available is not worth it, if you need a workload heavy CPU look at the cheapest option from the R7 lineup, right now that is the 1700x at $292cad. Then in a year’s time look to upgrade to the new R7 3000 CPU’s. It is a fantastic value for the money and the performance gains are why I am excited for what AMD has to offer moving forward. When the new Ryzen CPU’s launch, I will be buying the newest CPU from AMD and moving this 1700 into an ITX system. Moving forward the Intel lineup seems like a poor option simply because of the limited upgrade path and AMD has come such a long way in the past year. Anyone on the fence about a Ryzen CPU can confidently make their AMD purchase knowing they got a lot better value for their money and have a solid upgrade path moving forward. Not to mention these CPU's are incredibly powerful!

Además el 1700 viene con un ventilador muy bonito y completamente silencioso (incluso tiene luces RGB, por si te agradan). Sus hermanos mayores vienen sin ventilador, así que es un gasto menos que considerar. El procesador por sí solo alcanza los 3.6GHz por núcleo, sin necesidad de hacer overclock. Hasta ahora no me ha dejado tirado ni trabajando ni jugando.Además es el procesador con consumo de energía más bajo en su gama, incluso comparándolo con sus equivalentes de Intel. (y a la mitad de precio).
Y lo mejor de todo: AMD seguirá fabricando procesadores con el socket AM4, así que en un par de años podrán comprar uno MUCHO más potente, sin tener que reemplazar su tarjeta madre u otros componentes.
Si buscas la mejor relación calidad/precio, compra este. Si buscas lo más barato pero de buenas prestaciones, compra el 1600. Si buscas lo más potente (y más caro), ve por el 1800x o un ThreadReaper.
I’ve had my Ryzen 7 1700 processor for about a month now and I love it. After some research I set my sights on the Ryzen processors. I’ve been buying AMD processors for a long while; don’t have the budget for a Threadripper so these were a logical choice. I’m not a big fan of overclocking and I like the lower temperature CPUs like the 1600, 1700, 2600 or 2700 which seem to fit my budget and are very appealing. I chose the 1700 as it was a good price point (at only 147.59 pounds) and I didn’t want to risk not having the latest BIOs shipped on my motherboard (newer processors may require an firmware update and I’m not risking it!).
This system is a vast improvement over my previous Athlon X4 845 with its DDR3 RAM. My ‘upgrade’ felt like a complete overall since it requires new DDR4 RAM and another motherboard with an AM4 socket. Fortunately I can reuse my SSD, HDD, GPU, case and PSU so at least there’s that.
Installing and POSTing
I found installing the Ryzen 1700 easy. The CPU fit nicely into the AM4 slot of my motherboard and the lever lowered perfectly - a very nice feeling. The heatsink and fan fixes to the motherboard using 4 screws which went ok but it uses more force than I expected. Then came the cabling and wire management.
Then it was time. While holding my breath I pressed the power button. To my surprise it POSTed first time – a big sigh of relief. Great it all works - if only the software installation would be so easy.
Final Thoughts
I love this computer build so far. It’s fitting into my ethos of small form factor, very stable, quiet computer without sacrificing the processing punch of a modern CPU. Next on my list is a computer case so my system is not in a full tower and a fast M.2 NVME SSD that should be compatible and hopefully bootable with this motherboard.

I’ve had my Ryzen 7 1700 processor for about a month now and I love it. After some research I set my sights on the Ryzen processors. I’ve been buying AMD processors for a long while; don’t have the budget for a Threadripper so these were a logical choice. I’m not a big fan of overclocking and I like the lower temperature CPUs like the 1600, 1700, 2600 or 2700 which seem to fit my budget and are very appealing. I chose the 1700 as it was a good price point (at only 147.59 pounds) and I didn’t want to risk not having the latest BIOs shipped on my motherboard (newer processors may require an firmware update and I’m not risking it!).
This system is a vast improvement over my previous Athlon X4 845 with its DDR3 RAM. My ‘upgrade’ felt like a complete overall since it requires new DDR4 RAM and another motherboard with an AM4 socket. Fortunately I can reuse my SSD, HDD, GPU, case and PSU so at least there’s that.

Zwar liefern vergleichbare Intel Modelle immernoch etwas mehr Single-Core Leistung und auch stellenweise höhere Taktraten, doch dennoch kann Ryzen sich behaupten! Ich habe ihn gebraucht für 185€ bekommen, denke aber das auch die derzeitigen 240€ Neupreis absolut gerechtfertig sind für den 1700!
Der Ryzen 1700 hat satte 8 Kerne und zusätzlich Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT), auch bekannt unter dem Intel Marketing Begriff "Hyper-Threading" (HT). Somit stehen im Effektiv ganze 16 Threads zur Verfügung! Und in Szenarien bei denen diese auch genutzt werden, ist die Leistung enfach nur erstaunlich anzuschauen. Z.b. Spiele wie Ghost Recon Wildlands, welches bis zu 20 Threads meines Wissens nutzen kann, zeigen eine sehr gleichmäßige Last auf allen Threads an, und dabei eine CPU-Auslastung welche einen glauben lässt es würde ein Defekt vorliegen. Teils selbst anspruchsvolle Spiele-Titel wie z.b. Assassins Creed Origins laufen in Verbindung mit einer MSI GTX 1080 problemlos auf 60FPS in 1440p mit very high settings und bei ca. nur 35% CPU Auslastung.
Zur Kühlung nutze ich einen Scythe Mugen 5 Rev.B welcher den 1700 im Idle teils auf 32C hält. Im aktiven Desktop Betrieb meist zwischen 35-40C und unter Last/beim Spielen bei höchstens ca. 50C. Damit ist der bei 65w TDP eingestufte r7 1700 wirklich eine sehr dankbare CPU in sachen Hitze-Entwicklung.
Der Basis-Takt liegt bei 3Ghz, aber generell liegt der All-Core Turbo bei 3,2Ghz. Bei Bedarf können auch 2 Kerne (Dual-Core Turbo) auf bis zu 3,7Ghz hochtakten. So dass z.b. auch Anwendungen oder Spiele welche nur 1-2 Kerne effektiv ausnutzen dann zustzäliche Power erhalten.
Eigentlich egal was genau man mit diesem Prozessor anfangen möchte, er hat mehr als genug Power für 99,9% der User möchte ich behaupten, und liegt, für einen 8-Kerne, auch in einem relativ erschwinglichem Preis-Segment mittlerweile.
Es gibt zwar derzeit auch schon die Ryzen 2000er CPU's, aber vom Preis/Leistungs Verhältniss halte ich den 1700 derzeit für beser. Oder, falls es doch etwas günstiger sein sollte, empfehle ich einen blick auf den R5 1600, welcher derzeit für 150€ zu haben ist, und vermutlich mit eine der besten (evtl. sogar DIE beste(!)) Preis-Leistungs CPU auf dem Markt sein könnte.
