Ryzen 1700X price drop at Microcenter

[nathanddrews]

So I just got an e-mail flyer showing the 1700X dropped to $349. They will still honor the $30 motherboard bundle and $20 GPU bundle. Looks to be in-store only, so depending on sales tax...

Not sure the extra $20 is worth it over the 1700 non-X.

Better cooler in box and 400MHz of base clock before OC is probably worth $20 over the plain 1700. Makes the 1800X a sillier proposition than it already is, though.

In-store only, don't expect anyone to price-match.

For some reason I thought the 1700x doesn't come with a cooler? Am I crazy?

Any source for them still honoring the motherboard bundle? I might be provoked into heading over to MC for the Asus mATX board and 1700x if they'll honor the $30 off and it comes with a decent cooler. I've been on the fence since I just bought a 6700k a year ago ...

Fry's is also running a sale on the 1700X for $389. Not nearly as impressive. :/

Is the 1700X the middle child that few people want?

Poor 1700X

It's Goldilocks at that price, though, in terms of voltage and OC stats (going off Silicon Lottery).

Pretty much... 1700 comes with a cooler and if you get a decent OC you have > 90% of the Perf of a 1800X. The 1800X is only for those that don't want to OC or want the best possible chance to get a high OC.

It might have something to do with the sole customer review of two stars. I fear that Vega performance will be very similar to Ryzen and turn out to be a huge disappointment.

I can only dream of being as disappointed in Vega as I am in Ryzen. It'll be 90% of the performance of a Titan or 1080ti for 50% of the price.

Too bad they don't have a motherboard to bundle with it. lol

I'll believe it when I see it.

Seems it is back up to $399 in stores?

 

[unseenmorbidity]

It is cheaper on ebay too, along with 1700.
