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

Thanks

UPDATE: 2/28/2019 - This is now a FIVE star review. Please read the initial review and the update below.

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

Good price for a good processor. Sadly I paid $270 for this and now it is $250 so I could have saved some money but who cares this thing is awesome. The cooler looks great and is very quiet you can almost never hear it. The processor clocks at 4.02 ghz on my pc and it fluctuates quite a bit but I dont really notice it because I can tweak it In bios. In general get this if you dont want the newer one or just get the 3600x if you dont care about having a 8 core pc

Mine goes to a stable all-core clock of 4.15 GHz with the stock Wraith Prism cooler. I backed it off to 4 GHz to keep voltage down, but Im excited to see what it can do with a proper water cooling setup.

This CPU is wonderful! I had no problems installing this CPU. Took less then 5 minutes. I also love the LED colors!

So far no issues overclocking or in general. paired with a crosshair hero 7. stable at 4.2ghz and RAM is 3200mhz factory and OCd to 3466mhz. would recommend as an alternative to pricey intel CPUs of same tier. just do the research and get to know your bios. ryzen has lots of features and will probably not recognize RAM at the intended speed without some adjustments.

I just finalized my new PC build using the AMD Ryzen 2700x with the goal of photo and video editing. I also considered the Intel i7 8700k which slightly higher single core score, whereas the 2700X beats it at multi core performance. I mostly use Photoshop, Lightroom CC classic and some other photo editing software suites and while they are not yet fully optimized for multi core operation, I’m better prepared for the future with the 2700X. I use this CPU together with the MSI x470 gaming plus motherboard and it runs without any issues. With the fan that comes with this CPU and without any over cloxking, the standby temperature of the CPU is around 31C which steps up to just below 50F under load. Since I’m not using this system for gaming, I do not really need forced water cooling. The system runs quiet and fast. The attached photo shows that the CPU fan that comes with this CPU has multiple colors which is nice.

Good CPU for the cost. Its not going to perform as good as an intel but its good enough. The Wraith cooler that comes with the cpu is surpisingly good. On load with OC to 4ghz, it runs around 50-55c. With a 2080 RTX at 1440p on BFV i get average fps of 100

You won’t believe this right I was in such a hurry that I accidentally bought a 2700 X instead of a 3700 X I am such a silly goose
