Shockingly good deal on a 1700X. It's been this price before but still a bargain.

Local delivered prices for a 1700 (non x) usually runs about $440 so this is exceptional when you consider it's the 1700x and delivery is about $10-$15.

The 1700 is the same price at the time of posting!

edit: and back up to 309.99 USD which is still pretty good at ~AU$384

    That's a damn good deal

    FYI with X series there's no Wraith fan included, so be sure to research and throw in AM4 cooler as well before you purchase

    • Kangal on 05/09/2017 - 14:09

      That Wraith cooler is pretty cool ;)
      I think it was manufactured by CoolerMaster, which is a great brand for fans.

      Wraith's actually better than the Hyper Evo 212.

      Theres really no difference between the binning of the 1700 and 1700X chips. However, the 1700 comes out of the box with lower frequency and TDP of 65W rating. The 1700X comes with higher frequency and TDP of 95W. I think "The Deal" is with the 1700, then overclock that to 3.9-4.1GHz on the Stock Wraith Cooler. But this 1700X is still a bargain, especially compared to Intel Sky/Kaby/Coffee.

    Yep, got this last time it was this price + a X370 board that was 40% off , arrived in 4 days, very glad as I am pretty sure the 1700 would have underwhelmed me…

  • Janko on 05/09/2017 - 09:48

    Man, bought a 1700 for $429 last week, stepped on it, bent pins, bought another for $440, then this comes up.

    • frewer on 05/09/2017 - 10:06

      $429 !!! This was cheaper during the 20% off http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/AMD-Ryzen-7-1700-Processor-16-MB-…
      ofc $469 x 0.20

          Maybe Janko is a giant?
          Shows how resilient the Ryzen chips are, supporting his weight whilst only sacrificing a few bent pins :D

      • Janko on 05/09/2017 - 21:49

        Chip comes in a black box similar to but smaller than a pack a cards - must have knocked off table when populating case onto dark floor - didn't see it.

    • shawnsmaggot on 05/09/2017 - 11:58

      Damn, but at least it was your fault! I ordered an 1800X from Amazon when it was on sale a few weeks back. It arrived with 3-4 severely bent pins. Absolutely horrible packaging on the part of AMD. The CPU clam shell had A LOT of room to move around so the corner pins got bent in transit.

      AMD CPUs use pins? I assumed they were painless like the Intel CPUs.

        Threadripper is pinless and the motherboards have the pins just like intel
        Ryzen has the pins and the motherboards are pinless but have a female pin array ready for the cpu to slot in

        all current intel CPU's are pinless..

          @leftspeaker2000:
          There's always a pin. Intel has it on the Motherboard, AMD has it on the CPU.

          If you change CPU's often, you want the pins on the CPU.
          That way your motherboard won't have bent pins, and can be kept as a donor for upgrades.

          If you change Motherboards often, you want the pins on the Motherboard.
          That way your CPU won't have bent pins, and you can keep the CPU while changing the Motherboard.

          Years back, Intel's choice was the superior as Motherboards did get new features, and CPU's hit a slump.
          Eg, 2011's Core i7-2600 is still competitive with the Core i5-7500, i5-7600k, and (to a degree) the i7-7700k.
          Now?
          I think AMD's direction is better.
          Get a decent AM4 Motherboard now (B250/X370), don't cheap out on it, and keep it for 5 years.
          You can start off with a Ryzen 1200 (4c/4t, 3.5GHz)….
          ….and upgrade to a 1500X (4c/8t, 3.9GHz), or a 1600 (6c/12t, 3.9GHz), or a 1700 (8c/16t, 3.9GHz), or a 1800X (8c/16t, 4.3GHz).

          Or better yet, upgrade to Ryzen v2.0 when they start shipping in late-2018.

      I got this on the shipping estimator but putting the order through it was fine. USD $6.69 for 9-12 business days, $9.98 for 7-11 days, $32.26 for 2-5 days.

          @philmarcracken:

          considering new 8700K will have six cores, it seems crazy to go with a 4 core design today.

          I would pick this any day of the week. Pair it with a B350 motherboard and you'll also save a pretty penny that you can re-invest somewhere else.

          @philmarcracken:

          i've watched allot of i7 7700k vs Ryzen 1700 videos

          in all of them the thing i noticed the most was that the i7 7700k was being used at 100% CPU usage so its at its maxing out .. nothing left in the tank.

          The Ryzen 1700 was at around 45% CPU usage.. so if it was maxed out in future games then it would provide almost twice the FPS of a i7 7700k.. future proofing is a good thing. i7 7700k is a waste of money if its only the top dog with OLD game engine today.. how long a CPU stays relevant is important

      X370

      Asus X370-PRO or Asrock X370 Taichi

      or

      B350

      Asus B350-PLUS

      All have solid VRM designs for the price. Taichi being the best of the lot.

      • ChubbyMastiff on 05/09/2017 - 11:06

        What do you think about the ASRock AB350 Pro4? I saw people recommending it a lot. How does it fair against the Asus ones?

          I have the mATX Pro 4. Haven't had any issues. OCed RAM to 3000MHz and CPU (1600) to 3.8GHz on stock voltage and stock cooler.

      • Wheresmyspaceship on 05/09/2017 - 12:44

        I've got the B350 plus with my 1600. Great so far, particularly given the price.

        Only disappointment is that there's no native digital audio or via spdif or HDMI from the standard I/O… And BF1 crashes now 😞

      Don't use the Amazon conversion rate, it's not good enough. Select to pay with USD and let your Visa/Mastercard handle the conversion. Even better if your card doesn't charge conversion fees 28Degrees etc.

    any good motherboard to with it?

    i have the trident Z RGB 3200 as my ram. wonder which board should i go so i can get archive the overclock and ram speed

    • butter on 06/09/2017 - 06:05

      See my post above.

      I made those recommendations specifically for someone that wants to overclock. The VRM is what you really want to look out for.

      All 3 boards will do what you need. If you don't do SLI/crossfire then the B350 board is fine.

      Check the QVL from the board manufacturer to see if it's listed but in my opinion, even if there is a listing, you can't guarantee it will work until you try it yourself (happened to me on two separate builds)

  • sk94 on 05/09/2017 - 22:35

    I had resisted until now but this deal had my wallet out haha

      • H_J on 07/09/2017 - 10:56

        you can still get 6% of Amazon by cashreward.

        I bought 1700x +Msi motherboard+16G ddr4. compare with ebay for the same items, even 10% off ebay, still save about $150.

        • Hornpub on 07/09/2017 - 14:52

          wow that is cool. i really don't know how cash-reward works.
          say the shopping cart total is 100$, with 6%, i will be able to get 6$ in my cash-reward account(and can be transferred to my bank). am i understand this correctly?

        • H_J on 07/09/2017 - 15:59

          @Hornpub: yes. And you can withdraw your reward to your bank account later on.

  • baldur on 12/09/2017 - 13:10

    nab charged me extra 11 dollars. now im curious if i should have gone with amazon's own currency.
