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

Processor works like a dream! However, make sure your MOBO BIOS is updated if youre upgrading from a previous processor chip set. Kinda defeating when you plug in your new processor to find out it doesnt work lol. Luckily it was an easy enough fix.

Installing this thing was a huge pain due to my previous cooler being a wraith spire and not a prism. I had to buy the retention clips to install the prism cooler which required a scary amount of force to clip onto the clips, I was afraid I was going to break the motherboard in half. Anyways, the processor is fast. The prism cooler with the led lights looks very beautiful and definitely added a new look to my pc. The cooler keeps my temps under 63 degrees C when I did my test with demon souls. It was doing mid 80s with my spire cooler. This def allows me to rest a bit easier knowing it wont overheat during gaming.

Ok

When I was doing research on this processor, a lot of resources told me it would cut the performance of my 1080 Ti in half. What I found is that when I overclocked the Ryzen 7 2700x to 4.1 ghz, that it was almost the exact same as a an Intel CPU, just with more cores and better for multi-threaded applications. However, the reason I give it 4 stars or gaming and not 5 is because although it performs well in gaming, Intel still beats it. These Ryzen chips are great for people who want to game and work on their systems. If your a person who ONLY plays games, then get an Intel. But if you game AND do other things this CPU is 100% for you!

What to say that hasnt been said over an over,this thing is amazing I love how it oc on its on, dont have to worry about doing it myself. Alot better then first gen, this chip is great I love it, finally upgraded from 1700x and believe it or not this is alot better, even tho there similar, this blows it away, waiting for 3rd gen price to go down this is a good middle ground

perfect for gaming better than greedy intel

Everything runs great, easy to install for the most part and the stock cooler handles itself pretty dang well. Although if you switch the cooler from quiet to performance mode it gets about 5 times louder without much of a performance boost that I can see yet so i just keep mine on quiet mode and everything seems to runs smooth and decently cool.

Good

Great CPU for the price, handles like a beast.

Working great. Fast.
