so it's finally here the rise in our seven 1700 X review which is the second best CPU from a and these are seven lineup it is 399 USD or 569 AUD and it's eight quarts and 16 threads of AMD K 17 architecture so I'm sure you guys have a lot of questions for example what is the IPC like how does it perform and how does it overclock well let's answer all those questions here today welcome back to texting today we're going to run through this CPU the good the bad and the mediocre and we will start with the good it is currently coming very close to Broadwell a IPC almost identical at least from my testing and about seven percent behind Intel's latest cabbie Lake though four o'clock this CPU at least a 1700 X clocks to 3.5 gigahertz on all caused out of the box so what about those clock speeds well for the r7 1700 x8 cluster 3.5 gigahertz on all course out of the box then I managed to overclock it to three point eight five gigahertz which if the standard stone scales relatively the same when comparing it to the 7700 K that out of the box is four point five gigahertz and goes to five gigahertz when overclocked though let's run the benchmarks with a lot of them being overclocked as that's what I am baby and enthusiast is likes overclocking also keep in mind these are deliberate CPU intense benchmarks designed to stress those cause rather than the GPU so lots of testing was done to get an insight into how the CPU really works and the productivity benchmark showed just how kick off this CPU really is especially for the price though when we start to look at those gaming figures it is very weird to see that Rison is falling behind a little and it seems like the productivity IPC isn't scaling to games why this is is anyone's guess at the moment more testing will have to be done before anyone can say for certain what it is the way will stress this for most games on most GPUs and especially if you are stressing the GPU gaming will be absolutely fine it's just at the exact same clock settings with the exact memory speeds on even the exact same memory - I'm getting figures that differ by quite a lot in some games power consumption is pretty good and temperatures were fine on both CPU and VRM also the risin AM for platform is still very infant so overclocking memory speeds and also settings like USB ports dropping and with particular settings get occurred but again this should all be resolved in the coming weeks memory speeds are also a factor to consider the max I could get my memory to was 2,400 megahertz at 1314 1436 one and there was no option to change the command rate hence I think while I wasn't able to achieve higher memory speeds on this board though it could indeed also be a weak IMC on my r7 1700 X memory speeds did account for a slight difference in some tests I did going from 2133 megahertz to 2400 megahertz though again i retested this on the same intel side of things with the same speed and considering the bandwidth results were very similar in those tests the memory speeds can't explain the majority of those differences out of the box from rising CPUs have AMD sense mi technology which is meant to adjust the clock speeds automatically depending on your cooling solution I think this is also relative to the motherboard you have to and it's vrm though I found in real-world testing I did manage to see clock as high as three point nine five gigahertz in Hardware monitor though I actually believe these clocks would not realize in any real-world testing as a single thread Cinebench test scores showed it's still capping at its default Oh point five gigahertz but and gaming frame rates was still lower compared to the three point eight five gigahertz overclock in the particular games was a three point nine five gigahertz overclock appeared so stay tuned as I will be releasing an overclocking and tuning tutorial for Rison very shortly but when it comes to overclock it was a very different beast altogether and I have to say it was a lot of fun working with this CPU it is something very new and also it's for the cool the compatibility latch down coolers should fit no problem that bolt down coolers will most likely not fit and will still need a new bracket from the cooler manufacturers which should be getting delivered for free if you purchased the cooler from that said manufacturer it should also be noted that although I did dip tie the cooler down temperatures were not a problem at all with me topping out of 53 degrees max which was actually better than some others who had air coolers ashtag you can do anything with a zip tie and now its verdict time and the rising CPUs are of course excellent value for money especially when it comes to productivity and these CPUs will handle the outpaces 6800 K in value for money and get around sixty nine hundred K levels of performance for half or even less than half the price the gaming performance however was a bit behind with the 7700 K handily beating it in every title I tested here with some figures that left me scratching my head the 6800 K also beat it for gaming and these are the two CPUs where currently the r7 lineup is going head-to-head with so if you are a tech enthusiast and gaming is your priority then maybe it is better to wait for the r5 or r3 line up to see what price performance that brings to the table or of course if you are building a workstation then Rises certainly offers amazing price performance some last-minute things to native nvme support works fine on this motherboard the asrock gaming k4x 370 and the speeds of the USB 3 and nvme drives were also on point so everything checks out there guys if you enjoyed this video to be sure to hit that like button if you dislike the video and be sure to pop a dislike in there and let me know in the comment section below was the result what you expected from the r7 1700 X firstly I'm a little bit disappointed with the gaming performance but the productivity performance is definitely there anyway guys I'll catch you in another tech videos very soon please now for now bye
