Power & Temperatures

Thanks to its relatively low clock speeds, the Ryzen 3 1200 was light on the go juice with a full system consumption of just 87 watts in our Excel examination. Conversely, the 1300X was quite a bit thirstier than you would expect based on the 1200'south results.

Although the 1200 is clocked 8-ten% lower, information technology consumed 26% less power when measuring total organization draw. The reason for this is that my Asrock lath was running the R3 1200 at a much lower voltage than the 1300X and this really helps to reduce consumption. They were closer one time overclocked but again I was able to hit iii.9GHz using less voltage than what it took for the 1300X to hitting 4.0GHz.

The Cinebench R15 power consumption results are more than what I was expecting, that said the 1200 withal consumed 17% less ability when comparing the total organisation figures. This put the 1200 on par with the i3-7350K and i5-7500. After overclocking, consumption was still tame and the 1300X arrangement only hit 120 watts.

Temperatures

For temperature testing Ryzen 3 I used its bundled Wraith Stealth libation which makes the most sense to me, though at that place are $xx coolers that volition enable even lower temps if you lot notice the demand.

Out of the box the 1300X peaked at 62 degrees when stressing the CPU, FPU and cache whereas the 1200 hit but 55 degrees. It's worth noting that if we only stressed the CPU, which I feel is a more realistic exam, the 1300X maxed out just 49 degrees and simply 42 degrees for the 1200. Those are amazing results for a box libation under heavy load.

When overclocked, the 1200's idle temps were in the low 30s and stressing merely the CPU saw temps max out at simply 52 degrees while stressing the CPU+FPU+cache saw temps touch 72 degrees, though 67 degrees was the norm here. I was nevertheless using the default fan curve and I would describe the Wraith Stealth as being quiet, which is probably the most shocking part.

Clocked at 4GHz, the 1300X and its actress voltage required the Wraith Stealth's fan to exist max out, but even spinning at a full 2600 RPMs the cooler isn't hideously loud. Stressing merely the CPU saw temps hit a manageable 63 degrees, but calculation stress to the FPU and cache saw peaks of 92 degrees with an boilerplate of 83 degrees.

All in all some incredibly expert results from the Wraith Stealth when overclocking these Ryzen iii CPUs.
