AMD Ryzen R7 1700 AM4 8-Core Processor Review

Overclocking


Overclocking

When we reviewed the Ryzen 1800X, I was very impressed with just how easy the chip was to overclock. With a simple voltage increase, the chip was able to hit an impressive 4.1GHz with ease, giving a huge boost to performance. It did seem the chip wanted to go much higher, but cooling limitations were causing it to throttle. The same is pretty much true of the Ryzen 1700, and while it is the bottom chip of the range, it still hits an impressive 4.0GHz, although it still took the same 1.488V on the CPU to reach it as we did with the 4.1GHz on the on the 1800X. Either way, this is straight up free performance, and as you saw in the testing, it turned a pretty dull chip into one that very closely matched the 1800X in most of our tests.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
