How reliable are TDP numbers for coolers? I'm looking to overclock a r7 1700 to ~3.8-3.9ghz and want something a little quieter than the stock wraith cooler, but I'm having a hard time which cooler is strong enough and how much I can trust the TDP numbers (both from AMD and the third party coolers)

A big ass Noctua cooler, though Ryzen 1700 overclocks like trash with 4.0Ghz being the limit and requiring melting voltage to run at that frequency, too much for welded HS
>he fell for the Ryzen runs at 65w meme
Try 150+W. You need a massive air cooler or at least 240mm water cooling.

The cooler is decent, but the temps you'll hit depend on what voltage you'll need to reach those frequencies.
A decent sample will hit 3.8ghz under 1.25v. At that level you're staying at decent levels for power consumption. The included cooler doesn't have a problem keeping it in a safe range.
The stock 1800X only pulls 110w under a 100% AVX load, a chip with lower peak clocks and lower voltage won't be pulling more than that.

Go away, little kid.

Well, seeing as the boxxed cooler is basically free, there's no harm in just trying and if it doesnt work, go for a noctua u12s

Dumb street shitter.

I'm running my 1700 at 3.8ghz/1.3v on stock cooler. No issues at all, temps don't exceed 75c in p95 and don't go above 65c in real-world scenarios.
Also, the stock cooler is very quiet.

seems like thermal shut off is around 80c, good to know I need an after market if I want to oc, going to just get a d15 and stop worrying, noctua is very good with sending out brackets when new shit comes out, so Ill likely just take the d15 to the next computer too.

Keep in mind that at best you are going to only get 100mhz above my speeds, so if overclocking is the only reason you are considering an aftermarket cooler then it may not be the best usage of funds. If you want it for lower temps/looks/security then that's another issue. But like I said, the stock cooler is not audible for me.
I've ran my 1700 past 80c when stress testing at higher voltages and it didn't shut off. I wouldn't want it to run like that for long though.
