AMD Ryzen 7 1700 Test Platform

AMD Ryzen Test System

The AMD AM4 platform that we used to test the Ryzen 7 1700 was run on the following boards and UEFI versions:

  • MSI X370 Xpower Gaming Titanium with UEFI 1.26
  • GIGABYTE GA-AX370-Gaming 5 with UEFI F5d
  • ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Hero with UEFI 1001

You can see the HWiNFO64 details for each platform below:

The processor was run at stock settings. The Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 memory kits were run at 14-14-14-28 memory timings at all clock speeds. We used an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 8GB Founders Edition with GeForce 378.78 WHQL drivers. We also used the Corsair AX860i digital power supply, Corsair Hydro Series H110i water cooler and Corsair Force MP500 480GB PCIe SSD on the system.
