    Nice price. I'd hate to have bought one from a store in AU lol. I got my 1700x from amazon recently in a nice bundle with a motherboard.

      The Stock Cooler (ie Wraith Spire) that you get with the Ryzen 1700 (1600 and 1500X) are very good.
      In fact, they're actually CoolerMaster coolers that are rebadged as AMD.
      And they're as good/better than the Hyper 212 in terms of the fan, but smaller/worse in terms of the heat spreader.
      Of course, no where near the flagship performance of the Noctua's.

      So getting a OC'd r7-1700 is almost as good as getting a r7-1800x with the Hyper 212.
      Except you're saving yourself AU$150-$200.

      I would suggest people get a Ryzen r3-1200 instead, but with a great/expensive X370 motherboard, if they don't need all that CPU performance just yet. The B350 motherboards are great, but a X370 will service you well for the next 4 years well. Get one that includes Wifi, Bluetooth, etc etc all the stuff you want… because you want to start off with a good motherboard and not worry about upgrading it in the future.
      AMD will be throwing an event in Mid-Feb 2018 to showcase Ryzen v2.0, and the new chipsets should be available by Mid-April 2018.
      As far as I can postulate, IPC should increase around 5%, putting it about 1-4% behind Intel, which is practically negligible. Also clockspeeds should improve from around 4GHz to a 4.5GHz mark. That would mean they're actually better than Intel's Coffee Lake, since they can offer more core OR more threads at lower prices. So come around April, you could get your r3-1200=X370 PC (3.7GHz 4c/4t), sell the CPU and Stock Fan (AU$90), and upgrade to the r7-2800x (4.5GHz 8c/16t) for around AU$400 and get a good fan (eg Noctua D15-S) for around AU$110. You would be boosting your performance (x2.50 - x5.11) around ~x3.8 folds, and saving yourself money in the process.

  • BensonP on 20/11/2017 - 10:05

    Don't forget that this CPU needs a cooler, as no stock cooler is included!

      That is a good price? They overclock pretty much the same.

      • wetsandwich on 20/11/2017 - 13:05

        Mine is probably the worst clocker ever (all other high end parts involved). But I'd rather have got the higher one if it was barely any more, just to get some possibly better OCs but also have more resale value.

        • jasswolf on 20/11/2017 - 13:51

          They're all capable of 3.9ghz, but the 1700x and 1800x are more likely to hit 4 ghz, with a small chance for the 1800x to hit 4.1ghz.

  • xiaxk on 20/11/2017 - 10:23

    Does it have local warranty?

    • iforgotmysocks on 20/11/2017 - 10:33
      +3

      Definitely maybe. Some forum posts suggest AMD honours warranty on their support website regardless of purchase location but it is not explicitly stated. Also Amazon has a 30 day return policy if you test it and it's dodgy.

      • xiaxk on 20/11/2017 - 10:50
        +14

        Thanks.

        Called AMD Sydney office and they (guy name Mike) said that you still have to go through Amazon to return the item (it will be eligible for local warranty though).

        They also said on Wednesday, Black Friday, the Australian stores prices will match these prices.

        In that case I would wait :)

          And I mean, 22nd November Wednesday (2 days prior to Black Friday). The AMD Sales rep specifically mentioned PLE, PC CASE GEAR and MSY.

          Thank you!

    • Oxxy on 20/11/2017 - 12:12

      For what its worth, I've been building systems for 2 decades. Only seen one processor fail in that time, and that was one that both had the fan seize (dust and age) and no thermal cutout in the bios.

      As long as its not DOA, they chip should easily outlast the motherboard you put it in.

      • xiaxk on 20/11/2017 - 15:07
        +1

        Thanks Oxxy!

        My main concern is resale value: I have found out that when I sell my used system with warranty, it provides better value and results in a quicker sale!

        • Oxxy on 20/11/2017 - 15:09
          +1

          No problem :)

          Even then fwiw, i have hardly ever seen anyone concerned with not having a CPU receipt - motherboards and graphics cards however….

          Enjoy.

    Just a tip with tagging deals properly @OP, use the full product name rather than 'hastag' type of tags.

    https://files.catbox.moe/1cuhhd.gif

    If the product that you're trying to tag does not appear in the drop-down list as a 'Product' type, you may either

    • need to check the spelling / syntax of the tag
    • ask for a product tag to be created if it does not exist (report the deal and type in "product tag needed") and I will create one.

    Australian Black Friday AMD sales are imminent so probably worth waiting and buying locally…

  • Axelstrife on 20/11/2017 - 11:05

    this makes my Ryzen 1700 for $375 seem expensive.

  • Osprey87 on 20/11/2017 - 11:09

    1700X would seem like a better deal. The 1800X really isn't significantly better than a 1700X once they are both overclocked.

    Also if you're gaming and not doing anything else it'd be worth it to look at the 8600k.

    • Unrvl on 20/11/2017 - 11:30

      by that logic, the 1700 is the best deal. they all overclock to almost the same, couple hundred mhz difference.

      • Osprey87 on 20/11/2017 - 11:59

        That's correct. Although if you are replacing the stock cooler (likely for most) then the $10 difference between the 1700 and 1700x makes the 1700x a good deal as it should be a higher binned chip and overclock marginally higher. Although with overclocking there are no guarantees.

        • Todes Angst on 20/11/2017 - 12:30

          My 1700X clocks to 4.0Ghz with no dramas at all using an AIO cooler. It would definitely clock higher still but i'm cool with 4Ghz :)

        • magic8ballgag on 20/11/2017 - 13:55

          @Todes Angst:

    • sane on 20/11/2017 - 12:40

      Be aware that the 2000 series is likely to arrive in Feb.

      Slight die shrink, so probably more headroom at lower power draw.

      Not saying these aren't nice prices, but …

  • idonotknowwhy on 20/11/2017 - 12:18

      Your money would be better spent on Zen 2 next year, the upgrades from 6c12t to 8c16t will be very slight compared to the rumored large clock speed / IPC gains AMD have up their sleeve.

      • idonotknowwhy on 20/11/2017 - 16:12

    This bundled deal is pretty good value too. Brings the 1700X down to $233 USD. Then you get a $300AUD board for about $230 AUD.

    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075M3QZ1X/

    Although you could probably grab a cheap B350 board for slightly cheaper. This is still good value for a fully featured X370 board.

    Better to spend the extra $10 or so and buy locally imo. It'll arrive quicker, easier/cheaper/faster RMA process, and supporting local business.

      • f0x13 on 20/11/2017 - 17:02

        Lol. Whilst hilarious it's not exactly true.

        If you reword your post 'for games' instead - then it's 100% accurate!

        • gmatht on 20/11/2017 - 18:23

          I left it deliberately ambiguous whether Ryzen doesn't need to or can't use more than 1 core. Each could be true depending on the application.

          Whether it can exploit the cores really depend on the application, not just games. Apparently Excel still usually only uses a single core… for most casual users one CPU is probably fine for Excel anyway. On the other hand Battlefield 1 can use six cores.

          Some games seem to perform better with the Ryzen, or have more reliable performance when the going gets tough in the benchmarks on Youtube.

  • tightasian on 20/11/2017 - 14:45
