AMD Ryzen 7 1800X AM4 8-Core Processor Review

Power Consumption and Temperatures


Power Consumption

With great power comes great responsibility, no wait, power drain. Yeah this chip does eat a fair bit of juice, but given the performance we obtained, this is hardly power that was going to waste and it’s not even as thirsty as the 6950x or 5960X from Intel, and it stood tall with both of them well enough in terms of performance.

Temperatures

This chip does run quite hot, but it does a good job of keeping its self regulated when the going gets tough. At stock settings, it does its best to stay around 70c, but since we’ve got a big cooler on there, we pushed the heat up and it topped out at 84c, which is pretty impressive given the actual size of the chip, the performance it delivers, and the voltages we ran through it.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
