AMD Ryzen 7 Cooler

[Brandon_140]

I am soon upgrading my pc and getting a ryzen 7 1700x however it does not come with the wraith cooler and you cannot purchase the wraith cooler online. I was wondering if there are any available coolers that will work with the Ryzen 7 I have a Coolermaster Hyper LED but the am4 bracket isint yet availble. I was also wondering if my Thermaltake TR2 700w is good enough to power it. I just recently bought it so i dont feel like buying a new one just yet.

I would rather go for the 1700 instead of the 7100x. Both overclock to similar marks, maybe a difference of .1 or .2 ghz. But the extra price you pay along with the absent cooler, makes it an extremely poor value compared to the 1700. There is no real advantage of the 1700x other than higher stock clocks, which can be overcome by overclocking the 1700... http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2017-amd-ryzen-7-1700-1700x-vs-1800x-review
The TR2 is not the best of units but it will do.

Appearently the 1700x automatically overclocks itself when needed thats why i wanted it, i am no good at overclocking tried a few time before so...

Current platforms have one click overclocking solutions as well as hordes of optimization softwares if you get the right kind of board(X370).

What about the MSI B350 TOMAHAWK thats what i was planning on getting good price

 

[Hellfire13]

The biggest thing to look at when OC is power phases, and VRM sink/quality. The B350 is mediocre in that aspect. The X370 boards overclock better.

So Hellfire13 the Biostar board x370 is better for OC ? What is your reply ?

Are you talking about this one?... http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/introduction.php?S_ID=871
Whats your budget for the motherboard??? I am sure you spared some cash by choosing the 1700 instead of the 1700x.

theres no difference between overclocking on the X370 or the B350, I have both, I have an MSI Mortar B350m board and an MSI X370 Pro Carbon and they both overclock exactly the same, both run my ram at 3200mhz and both do 3.9ghz on my R7 1700 at the same voltages.

I only brought the X370 to try it out, you dont get anything extra for your money, so dont waste it, the Tomahawk B350 is a great board, you wont regret it, only get an X370 if you plan on going SLi in the future as thats the only extra it brings to the end user.

The only other board that I would recommend if the amount of VRMs and chokes really bother you is the ASUS Strix B350-F it comes with a couple more, but they really are not needed.

Once you hit that OC wall on these AM4 chips, thats it, you dont get anything else out of them unless you are willing to bang stupid amounts of voltage through them, and with extra voltage comes more heat, these chips are dead easy to overclock.

Nice, not reading all those posts, like I said, I have both right here, used the same chip and same ram in both, and both do exactly the same speeds, even cinebench scores are the same, like one post did say, unless you are doing LN2 cooling, then you dont need X370 for anything else other than SLi, even most of the people in those 2 links are saying the same, you dont need X370 unless you want SLi, just had a quick skim read.

Apparently you read. Its your version against the world. Fact of the matter is i have OCed on both and i certainly didnt find the b350 as robust on holding temps as well as volts as the x370 did. You certainly need to dig deeper.

Dig yourself into this and tell me im wrong, this was on my B350 board by the way, all pictures and results of all the stress tests I ran are in the video description, IBT for 8 hours, Prime95 for 12 Hours, Aida for 9 hours, OCCT Linpack for 11 hours, Realbench 8 hours, be sure to check out the temps too. https://youtu.be/JaQgj3PPTu8 and to no surprise, the X370 is exactly the same.

I dont need someone to tell me im wrong, ive ran all of the tests, and posted the proof, I know im right and the pictures dont lie.

One thing to learn about me is I document everything like that.

Doesnt matter. You ask anyone in this forum and everyone will tell you the same. The b350 is not meant for extreme overclocking. Keep holding those temps and volts for 6 months continuously and then we will talk.
