AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Processor with Wraith Prism LED Cooler - YD270XBGAFBOX

Beats Intel

Was the fastest Ryzen when I bought it. Never really peaks above 65% while gaming.

The amount you get out of this cpu for the money spent is unreal! Highly recommend amd over intel. Intel is so over priced. Just don’t make the same mistake I did and buy a cpu cooler. It comes with a pretty good one I think it’s the exact same as the wraith.

Processors speak for itself.

I recently went team red, and am super happy with the results. I have been using an older Intel chip (4790k) and while it wasnt a slouch by any means, it was still showing its age. I was tied to DDR3 RAM and I do dabble in content creation and gaming/streaming. Trying to run everything all together caused some noticeable slowdowns/stutters. I paired this chip with an Asus ROG STRIX X470 board and 16 GB of DDR4 from Corsair. I do have an AIO cooler that I chose to reuse and as such I left the wraith cooler that was included in the box. It does however appear to be a pretty beefy cooler, and not just a basic fan like you would get with an Intel chip. Pay attention to the orientation of the chip before installation, there should be a gold triangle on the corner that coincides with a mark on the board socket. This seems to be where most new builders accidentally damage a pin and you dont want that. Speed wise I saw an immediate jump in terms of how fast rendering happened, and putting load on the chip was like slicing warm butter. Smooth, easily spreadable and loaded with delicious goodness. Benchmarking showed a definite increase in the multicore score compared to my 4790k which is great. I wish I had saved a screencap of each but that didnt occur to me until after I had done the AMD chip. I havent dabbled in OC this chip yet, I want to do some research to determine the best route to go but I hear it clocks well and can get some great speeds out of it. Overall I am glad I got this, I could have waited for GEN3 Ryzen but I dont mind. I feel like all the bugs got worked out here.

This CPU is generally really great. It performs well in games and boosts to 4.3 ghz. However when it boosts with XFR2 and Precision Boost, voltage temporarily increases, meaning temperature increases. On my system, with a Dark Rock Pro 4 cooler, my temps float between 33 and 44 Celcius, with the occasional spike into the 50s. I havent noticed anything higher than 60 or 70 Celcius during gaming, so not a huge issue so far. Just be prepared with a good cooler before you buy, the included one is ok, but if you want more headroom youll need a better cooler

Would be great if it did not crash for no logical reason. No error message, no bsod, nothing at all

Hello, I bought this Processor, with it I bought mother board, Power Supply, Memory, M.2 SSD, deepcool fans, please check the links:

Runs a lot faster than Intel. Excellent value. Shouldve switched to AMD sooner! Been building computers forever!

Easy install, beatiful AND functional stock heat sink, stable performance, competitive price.... what more can you want? This was an amazing purchase, and I highly recommend it for any advent PC users.
