1700 strange gaming temps

[jjohnthedon1]

1700 maxed at 42 degrees and gaming for many hours on many different games 

crysis 3 

bf4 

witcher 3

overwatch 

and wildlands 

 

it never went over 42 in hwinfo64 and ryzen master 

 

how come my 1600 would run at 60 degrees and my 1700 only 42 ? 

 

The 1700 even runs cooler for rendering maxing at 53 degrees  where as the 1600 has been as high as 67 

 

both at 1.33 3.9ghz

The R5 1600 was a defective die which had cores disabled, this means the power drawn in isolated to a smaller area. It also likely has higher resistance due to defects causing elevated temperatures.

The R7 1700 is a non-defective die and the power drawn on the CPU is spread across the entire die, making heat dissipation easier resulting in reduced temperatures.

These theories are BS, but it doesn't really matter, either way both CPU's temperatures are well within safe limits.

 

The thermistors used in CPUs are not accurate or calibrated, the values are really only useful for relative within-CPU comparisons at different loads, not comparing one CPU to another.

I'm curious if the 8 core series are soldered where as the other series are thermal paste. 

 

I don't know the answer as i have only seen the first gen ryzen chips delided

Apparently there all soldered dude, ain't no way you could run 1.45v through at intell chip at max oc and it only hit high 60's
