Is the ryzen 1700 worth it without overclocking

[Victor8582]

I am not planning on getting an aftermarket cooler. Also i don't think i'm willing to overclock my system, so is a ryzen chip then worth it for me? I will be using it for rendering, streaming, gaming and c4d/blender/after effects

What do you mean? Without any specifics in what you're looking to achieve it's hard for us to answer. I personally have the R7 1700 and I didn't overclock it and it's 100% worth it for me. Unfortunately my needs and your needs are probably different so it might not be worth it for you.

this is not the correct subforum to post this as stated in the posting guidelines:

if you want to discuss CPU things post it here next time:

don't worry a mod will probably move it. this mistake happens a lot to new forum members

Depends on what you want to use it for.

 

Also, if you're looking for value for money I don't understand why you don't want to overclock.

For gaming the overclocking really helps.

 

But there are plenty of other applications where it is a multi-threaded beast even at stock.

Defiantly good for those applications.

That 65W TDP goodness.

It's not because i don't want to it's because i am not allowed to. I am buying it from a company that builds computers and seels them to a similar price as a custom one. (In my country it costs about the same) And if i overclock the warranty is gone. Also i don't think this motherboard can overclock "Asus Prime B350M-A"

The assumption that stock coolers are bad stems from the garbage intel stock cooler. The wraith spire is fantastic for a free cooler and I got an 800MHz overclock (3.8GHz total) using my wraith spire on my 1700.

 

You can easily do a very mild/safe overclock of 3.7Ghz on this cooler and 3.8GHz if you want to push the cooler.

 

EDIT: Btw all B350 motherboards can overclock.

Thank you, i think i will try to overclock then. I just read some reviews about that motherboard where people wrote stuff like "Unstable overclock on this board"

NP heres a video with that exact board

 

 

And here is why you want a 1700 for streaming  (linus uses a 1700X but a 1700X/1800X is just a pre overclocked 1700, my 1700 is at 4GHz)

Kyle (Bitwit on youtube) tried overclocking Ryzen on B350 and X370 and got the same OC on both chipset mobo

So it seems Ryzen chips are hitting their own inherent OC limit even before the difference in mobo quality comes into play

If you want to spend money towards an OC I suggest getting a proper RAM kit made for Ryzen, instead of an expensive mobo

Yep i agree, already linked him that video above
