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

The first PC I ever built I used an AMD Athlon processor in, and I loved it. When I found out about the Ryzen processors I was excited to see what they could do, and I was not disapointed. This chip feels very compitent. I put it into a gaming system, and I have had no issues with it. I also like the cooler. It looks good, and seems to function well. My only complaint about this setup is the factory applied thermal compound. I know, wipe it off and apply third party, but Im not over clocking, so I figured it would work for my purposes, and I was not disapointed, that is untill I had to swap a faulty motherboard. When I removed my cooler, it pulled the whole chip out of the socket. I was terified thinking it had dammaged something. Thankfully all pins were in place. Then came the hard part. It turns out that the factory thermal paste had spread all across the chip, and melted down the sides. I have never seen factory paste do that. The real problem though was that it somehow formed a sort of glue that had now bonded the CPU and cooler togather. They were not coming appart for anything (at least anything I was willing to try on my $300+ chip). Eventually I was able to disolve the thermal paste and save my chip using some very light heat and a little alcohol and a piece of dental floss. Aparently this happens more often then I had realized because there was a whole subredit about how to fix it (Thank you Redit ;-) . In the end it all worked out well and I have everything back up and running in my new MoBo. It was just an experience I will not forget.

Nice product, all went good

Great upgrade if you are in the FX line of processors. Runs ARMA and Squad well.

Wicked fast. Good value for the money and this is coming from a devout Intel CPU advocate. I am now converted to AMD.

Works pretty well right now. Was a good upgrade from an older 8320

I got this CPU on Prime Day for $199 and sorta won the silicon lotto, With a standard 240 Arctic water AIO it stays below 65C and boosts to 4.35Ghz. Really good product from AMD. Make sure to match it to a good MB and RAM.

This thing runs cool as heck for being a 8 core :D FAST AND RELIABLE!

Amazing cpu! Best I’ve ever had. Anyone who wants bang for your buck go ryzen all the way

What can i say? 8 cores, 16 threads, 4.3GHZ boost. My video editing is a dream on this.

Switched from a Ryzen 5 1600 to this 2700x. Words can not..... well, they can, I just dont have the vocabulary. :) Seriously, well worth the money if your a gamer.
