I love this CPU! Overclocks like a dream. Got it stable at 4ghz on 1.38v using corsair h100i v2 water cooler staying around 37c on full load. This out performs my older I7 3770k clocked at 5.2GHz which is NUTZ.
I suggest this cpu to anyone who loves to overclock if not its not for you on stock speeds.

I had done a decent amount of research before making this purchase and I was satisfied with it. I have it overclocked to 3.7GHZ with my memory overclocked to 3000MHZ on a AsRock Taichi and it has not crashed on me at all. I have it cooled with a Celsius s36 which is more than enough. Would recommend to someone who wants to do things such as photoshop, some after effects, some video editing, etc.

Does everything I needed it for- video rendering, multitasking, streaming, and high setting gaming. 4k video too. It came with a fan. I only have a $100 graphics card and everything still looks and feels great!

Awesome processor so far. Working great and ordered from best buy because I had credit. My only recommendation is price match if you can. I saved over $100 by price matching with newegg.

Processor is fast and gets the job done. Seems notably faster than my 4790k. Don't expect to to overclock like 1800x. AM4 platform has some maturation left to go. Wrt stablity and memory module oc support.

This has been an amazing processor for me. I have used it at 3.9 GHZ 24/7. Only now, after a couple years have I upgraded to a 3700X , which is 30% faster than this.

In the Ryzen 7 Series this 1700 is a steal. While its lower clocked than the rest, it is easily able to handle 3.7-3.9Ghz with stock cooler. The extra threads handle multiple applications with little CPU usage.
