Power Consumption
This is fascinating, not only does the R7 1700 clock in with a slightly higher power usage at stock, it’s much higher than the 1800X while overclocked too. This shouldn’t be where it is, and we suspect that the 1800X was thermal throttling and therefore using less power during our testing phase. Perhaps a retest is in order in the near future, but either way, it’s obvious that Ryzen uses a fair bit of power, it’s a high-end 8-core processor, and high power usage should be expected to some extent.
Temperatures
Ryzen is a hot chipset, it’s quite compact despite housing 8 high-performance CPU cores, so a good cooler is recommended to get the best performance from it, although that’s true of virtually all processors.
