TDP and Overclocking

[MKeefeus]

I'm going to be upgrading from my FX-8350 in the coming weeks after the release of ryzen. When I was looking at the new R7 chips I found the the 1700 has a lower TDP the the 1700x. Does TDP affect how well a CPU overclocks? (Will a 64 watt chip not overclock as well as a 95 watt)

That's the same question that I'm asking myself. Right now we don't know ...

Wait 2-3 more days and you will see reviews of those CPUs.

Your looking at it all wrong.

 

You cannot compare the OCing capability of a 65w CPU against that of a 95w CPU, it just doesn't work that way.

 

Its like comparing the rev range on a 6 cylinder engine with that of a 12 cylinder, they're 2 entirely different things.

 

You should be comparing your 65w Ryzen against other 65w Ryzens.

Since it takes LN2 for a 1800x to overclock past 5GHz, none will probably overclock that well. Luckily the out of the box performance is pretty good.

TDP stands for Thermal Design Power, and represents the maximum amount of heat created in this case by the CPU. It basicly means that if you use the same cooler when overclocking them both to the same clockspeed, the higher rated TDP one will generate more heat. But if you cooler is better of course it will result in better overclocking.

TDP stands for Thermal Design Power, but Intel and AMD measure it differently

And 1,8V on CPU core  

 

I hope we can at least get stable 4,4 or at least 4,2GHz on water/air.
