AMD Announces First Three Ryzen
Models; Sets Launch For March 2
AMD has been teasing information about its new Ryzen
processor lineup since CES in January, but we now have
more details and a firm release date. The company plans to
launch its first three Ryzen chips—the 1800X, 1700X, and
1700—March 2. The 1800X has base/boost clock speeds of
3.6GHz/4GHz and TDP of 95 watts. The 1700X has base/
boost of 3.4GHz/3.8GHz and the same TDP. The 1700
has base/boost of 3GHz/3.7GHz but sips just 65 watts of
power. The 1700 also will be the only one of the three to
ship with a cooler, AMD’s new Wraith Spire. The company
says the cooler operates at a quiet 32 decibels. Preorders
in the U.S. for the new Ryzen processors are being taken
by three retailers: Amazon, Newegg, and Micro Center.
The 1800X/1700X/1700 processors carry MSRPs of $499,
$399, and $329, respectively.
EVGA Announces Two Closed-Loop
Coolers With RGB & Flow Control
EVGA has added two new closed-loop liquid CPU coolers to
its product portfolio. The new EVGA CLC 120 and EVGA
CLC 280 feature new EVGA fans, one 120mm for the 120
and two 140mm for the 280, that the company says have
a new blade design and “Teflon Nano” bearings to produce
better cooling at lower noise levels. The coolers also have RGB
lighting that can sync up with select models of EVGA cards.
Color setting preferences can be saved to firmware.
EVGA says it has new Flow Control software on the way that
will let users control fan speed, pump speed, RGB lighting,
and other settings. Other features the coolers offer include
fully sleeved tubing and a five-year warranty. Both coolers
come prefilled so you just plug and play. MSRPs are $89.99
for the CLC 120 and $129.99 for the CLC 280.
