CPU Processors

AMD Ryzen 7 1800X 3.6GHz Processor 8 Core for Socket AM4 in Box

Key features:

8 cores
16 threads
Base frequency 3.6 GHz
Max frequency 4.0 GHz
Cache 16 MB
Unlocked

CPU Speed

The speed at which the processor operates in everyday use.

During the execution of demanding applications (e.g. games), the frequency may automatically increase up to the Maximum Processor Frequency.
Cores

The natural individual processing units that the processor has. The more cores a processor has, the more efficient it is in running multiple applications simultaneously. For simple use, 4 cores are sufficient, while for gaming and video processing, at least 6 are recommended.
Socket

The processor socket type.

The motherboard we choose should have the same socket in order for the processor to "fit in".
Maximum CPU Speed

The maximum processor frequency is the frequency that the processor can reach when executing demanding applications that use one core. Generally, when running demanding applications (e.g. games), the frequency can automatically increase up to the Maximum Processor Frequency depending on the number of cores in use. (the fewer cores are active, the closer they can operate to the maximum frequency)
Unlocked

Ability to change the processor clock settings to achieve higher operating frequency (overclocking).
Cache Memory

Cache is a very fast memory that acts as an intermediary between the processor and RAM. It stores data that is frequently useful to the processor for faster access.

This is the best 1st generation Ryzen 8-core.

The R7-1800X is still a good multitasking tool today, with performance that is not significantly inferior to that of later CPUs in the same family. In several tasks/uses (except for gaming at 1080p), I don't think a noticeable difference can be observed compared to 8-core Zen+ (2000 series) and even Zen2 (3000 series) up to 6 cores. There is also the possibility of overclocking all cores depending on the motherboard/UEFI BIOS, so this specific CPU has the ability to achieve benchmark scores very close to the R7-2700X.

As for temperatures, this is a hot processor only under certain conditions: it requires high voltages (1.4+) to reach (or slightly exceed) 4GHz on all cores, if you attempt it. It is possible that this issue is better addressed in the more recent - and possibly better manufactured - chips. However, in stock/light overclock settings, the temperatures are okay and it does not require any additional investment for cooling.

Nevertheless, at its current price (245€+), it does not offer good value for money in my opinion, as for an additional +30-35€, you can get the 3700X with a cooler. In reality, the price of the 1800X should be at least 60-70€ lower. Therefore, it is preferable to look for a used one and you will come out as winners.

The first generation of the RYZEN empire. The amazing machine that shattered Intel and forced it to lower its prices by 50%, but it still runs and doesn't disappoint.
I have been using it for about 3 years on a Gigabyte AX370-Gaming K7 motherboard in a horizontal position with a Noctua NH-D15 SE-AM4 cooler with 2 silent fans. It runs on Windows 10 and has never crashed. It works for 5-10 hours a day and the highest temperature I have seen is 35°C.
On YouTube, it plays 1080p videos with the CPU at 10-17%, while in Corel Video Studio X7 and Pinnacle Studio 17, the CPU reaches 35-40% usage. Only in Premiere 2018 does it reach 85%. I don't have any games to test.
The RYZEN family is highly recommended, "RYZEN AND NOTHING ELSE".
If I ever change it, I will get a Threadripper, never Intel again.
I RECOMMEND: Get RYZEN 5 or 7 on a motherboard that has an M2 slot. They are 10 times faster than SSDs and 100 times faster than IDEs. Read the compatible RAM list from the motherboard's website. Get a Bronze or Gold-rated power supply, don't go for low-quality ones as they can damage the motherboard.

one of the best processors currently available, and it can only be compared to the 2700X. There's nothing else to say, it's simply unbeatable. Highly recommended for all applications. As for temperatures, it has never reached high temperatures for me, and right now I'm using the wraith prism. Basically, it depends on what cooler you choose and how much your pocket can handle

The processor is very good, perfect for multitasking. I can play games with several open programs and browser in the background without any issues. The temperature slightly increases up to 70 degrees Celsius, but this may also be due to the cooling fan

Excellent processor. The processor is a beast for the money, the best high-performance one. I highly recommend it. Incredible processor, great speeds, plays everything. Stable and reliable operation, high-performance value for money, worth the money. I have used it for heavy tasks (video editing, 3d rendering, gaming) there is nothing more powerful for this price

The best you can get for 250€... In my opinion, if you mainly use the computer for gaming, I would recommend this one over the i7...
Temperatures are incredibly low even with the CPU cooler that comes with the case... So in the future, if you get a good fan, you can easily overclock.

My PC:
Ryzen 1800 (this one)
GTX 1060 6GB
16GB RAM
750W PSU

FPS tests:
PUBG (all settings on ultra) 87-133 fps
Fortnite (all settings on epic) 160-221 fps
Rainbow Six Siege (ultra-high settings) 100-156 fps
We don't even need to discuss LOL and CS:GO.
And generally, there is no game that can't be played on all ultra settings with less than 50 fps...
and above 60 degrees

The price-quality ratio is the best you can have, I recommend pairing it with a good 3200mhz memory or higher to enhance the infinity fabric and get better performance.

No issues so far, and it seems like I will sell it to get the upcoming Threadripper since AMD seems to be changing the game.

This is the best 1st generation Ryzen 8-core.

The R7-1800X is still a good multitasking tool today, with performance that is not significantly inferior to that of later CPUs in the same family. In several tasks/uses (except for gaming at 1080p), I don't think a noticeable difference can be observed compared to 8-core Zen+ (2000 series) and even Zen2 (3000 series) up to 6 cores. There is also the possibility of overclocking all cores depending on the motherboard/UEFI BIOS, so this specific CPU has the ability to achieve benchmark scores very close to the R7-2700X.

As for temperatures, this is a hot processor only under certain conditions: it requires high voltages (1.4+) to reach (or slightly exceed) 4GHz on all cores, if you attempt it. It is possible that this issue is better addressed in the more recent - and possibly better manufactured - chips. However, in stock/light overclock settings, the temperatures are okay and it does not require any additional investment for cooling.

Nevertheless, at its current price (245€+), it does not offer good value for money in my opinion, as for an additional +30-35€, you can get the 3700X with a cooler. In reality, the price of the 1800X should be at least 60-70€ lower. Therefore, it is preferable to look for a used one and you will come out as winners.

The first generation of the RYZEN empire. The amazing machine that shattered Intel and forced it to lower its prices by 50%, but it still runs and doesn't disappoint.
I have been using it for about 3 years on a Gigabyte AX370-Gaming K7 motherboard in a horizontal position with a Noctua NH-D15 SE-AM4 cooler with 2 silent fans. It runs on Windows 10 and has never crashed. It works for 5-10 hours a day and the highest temperature I have seen is 35°C.
On YouTube, it plays 1080p videos with the CPU at 10-17%, while in Corel Video Studio X7 and Pinnacle Studio 17, the CPU reaches 35-40% usage. Only in Premiere 2018 does it reach 85%. I don't have any games to test.
The RYZEN family is highly recommended, "RYZEN AND NOTHING ELSE".
If I ever change it, I will get a Threadripper, never Intel again.
I RECOMMEND: Get RYZEN 5 or 7 on a motherboard that has an M2 slot. They are 10 times faster than SSDs and 100 times faster than IDEs. Read the compatible RAM list from the motherboard's website. Get a Bronze or Gold-rated power supply, don't go for low-quality ones as they can damage the motherboard.

Kids, the 7th series makes everything simple, it is more for video processing, editing, multi applications, etc. If you want one for gaming, go for the Ryzen 5 3600x

At 230-250 euros, this specific chip is the best. Crazy performance, easy overclocking, and performance that surpasses processors worth much more. Simple and nice.

one of the best processors currently available, and it can only be compared to the 2700X. There's nothing else to say, it's simply unbeatable. Highly recommended for all applications. As for temperatures, it has never reached high temperatures for me, and right now I'm using the wraith prism. Basically, it depends on what cooler you choose and how much your pocket can handle
