Ryzen R7-1700 (RS) Vs R7-1700X (QS) Vs. R7-1800X (QS) - Is the Extra Worth it?

2017-03-30
where I live is usually called the Sunshine State but today there's a cycling going on that side so it's called the wet State and what better to do then over clock three rise in our seven CPUs because that's what I've been doing anyway regardless of the weather welcome back guys and today going to be overclocking three different rising CPUs two of which will review samples up being the r7 1700 X and also the r7 1800 X and then comparing that against my retail sample v r7 1700 now Paul's Hardware already did a very similar video to this which is a really good video so if you haven't checked it out already then I'll put the link in the description below for you guys but basically he said the r7 1700 was the best value out of the lot symptoms got relatively close to his upper to r7 CPUs in terms of maximum overclocks and today I'm going to be giving you guys my opinion and what I've done with my CPUs and how they overclock so let's get into the first CPU so the CPU of most curious about was the r7 1700 since it comes in at 330 dollars and also includes a cooler now also recently tested this a couple of videos ago on a be 350 motherboard that I got for like 80 US dollars extremely cheap and it performed really well it got to three point eight five gigahertz on all caused with the stock cooler though I wanted to see how further it would go with a much better cooling solution and also a better motherboard so today I'm using a ek predator 240 and also might as Rock Taichi motherboard to see how high this CPU can go and when I started overclocking it they found that the maximum overclock I could get out of the CPU was about 4 gigahertz on all cause I could boot into a little bit higher with a 4.0 5 gigahertz but it would just shut down and even with the over-voltage and overcurrent protection switched off it just wouldn't go any higher however 4 gigahertz for the price I paid for this thing was absolutely phenomenal especially on all caused so the next of you I've got in the lineup here is the r7 1700 X it comes in a little bit more expensive than the r7 1700 however it doesn't include a cooler but it does come with a thing called xfr technology where if you put a cooling solution it will boost the CPU automatically now I found on the tachi motherboard this really only worked for single or dual core applications or when the threads are loaded up dynamically it wasn't working when all the cores are loaded up I found in Cinebench and also in games that load it up a lot of threads it would only load up to 3.5 gigahertz maximum though it did report 3.9 gigahertz on single cause when I was doing single threaded test which was exactly where my main overclock was sitting on this CPU and I managed to get it to 3.9 gigahertz at one point 3 6 1 to 5 volt and this was the lowest of all the over clocks I've seen here though keep in mind it was a hundred megahertz lower than the r7 1700 and also the next CPU that we're going to look at so now lots of you here is the r7 1800 X now this comes in around $500 it also doesn't come with a cooler and it also has the support for XFR technology and putting that to the test I found it boosted up to 4 point 1 gigahertz so 200 megahertz higher on xfr then the r7 1700 X however on all calls it only managed to go to 3.7 gigahertz however I shouldn't be saying only that's actually pretty good considering you'd have to do anything at all so if I wanted to overclock the CPU which I did I managed to get it to 4.0 to 5 gigahertz on all course so nothing really changed and I was using the latest bios here now this managed to hit these speeds at 1.39 75 volt stable and also an interesting thing is when I ran all these CPUs on stress tests they all leveled out and around the same temperatures I was using just the latest version of hardware monitor which does report the CPU temperatures pretty accurately I'd said saying that was maxing out at around 54 degrees maximum on all three different tests at around similar voltages though let's talk about the winner here and in my opinion the r7 1700 comes far ahead of the other two with it being just simply awesome value for money it clocked a hundred megahertz higher than my r7 1700 X it was only 25 megahertz below the r7 1800 X and it did that with almost using 20 millivolts less so the clocking in at one point 375 volts versus one point three nine seven five volt on the 1800 x so did o'clock in low it will use a little bit less power and it will get similar over clocks to an r7 1800 X and you also get an included cooler so if you guys are into manually overclocking your CPUs then you'll definitely want to get an r7 1700 save some cash and just have an awesome time on the rise and line up though what about the 1700 X and also the 1800 X well they do have their places of course if you guys don't want to do any overclocking at all and I know some people out there that just go to work they want to not worry about entering a boss or having any issues or any troubles with their computers they just want to get the best performance out of the box well that's when the its 1700 X and also the 1800 X come into play the 1800 X obviously being about 200 megahertz higher in its maximum frequencies than the 1700 X out of the box so if you just want to get that easy to use really good rise in performance then you can get that with the 1800 X and you guys are probably lastly wondering about the memory over clocks and Rison well I've tested now three different CPUs across three different motherboards and the maximum I can get my memory to at the moment is 29 33 megahertz on a cold boot now as some more updates flow through on the boss we may be able to get more higher memory speeds but I do believe that 1t Command rate timing is holding us back unless you have some really good memory however keeping that in mind the performance with a 1080 Ti is just simply phenomenal at the moment with these CPUs and I will be now that my rigs running really smooth I will be re testing it against the 7700 K at a few different resolutions to give you guys just a real date with that video because I believe some of these performance updates are flowing through now and the Rison is running near its best now guys hope you enjoyed this video and if you did then be sure to hit that like button and let me know in the comments section below which is your favorite pick out of the awesome and why not me closely men that are seven 1700's it just can't be beat I absolutely love the proper qualities the market at the moment but would love to hear your thoughts and opinions as always and I'll catch you guys in another tech video very soon please now for now bye well it's usually called the sunshine sunshine there you
