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

awesome!

Great for gaming i get 60 plus fps paured with the gtx 1050ti not that powerful of a gpu but pairs better than u think I play all the newest cods with not issues

Best budget CPU in its price range (Q1 2020). For me it was an upgrade from an I7 4770, I paired this cpu with an ASUS ROG mobo, and a 2070 super, no bottle necking and no need to OC. Only thing I would recommend is reading the instructions. Spent about an hour trying to force install the bracket that holds the cpu when I finally gave up and decided to read the manual it showed that you need to loosen the top two sets of screws before trying to fasten it on. Once I did that it took me two seconds and was effortless. Might just be me, but for your own sanity read the instructions first. Especially if this is your first build.

works like a charm

This chip has been amazing for the past 2 years. It has been under a custom loop in a meshify s2 case since I first purchased it and never went above 52C degrees. Paired up with 32gbs 3200mhz cl 16 ram and a 1080 ftw2 gets well at 144hz 1080p. This was first paired with a msi b450m titanium board and now its on a msi unify x570 working like a charm.

Good CPU

In all the years of my machine building, this is a first for me: I got a defective unit. I understand, this happens. Worst part about it, though, is that the replacement from Amazon for this piece was on backorder for about a month. Im just sending back the CPU and went to Best Buy to buy another.

Havent even been able to get past the bios screen, the Wraith Prism Cooler that came with the processor was dead on arrival; will light up but will not spin or even picked up by the motherboard in the bios. Waiting to be able to speak to the vendor about being sent another CPU cooler

I got mine on black Friday and was going for $159, if someone told me just a couple of years ago I would get 8 cores 16 threads processor I wouldnt believe them. AMD for the win, finally a worthy competitor to put Intel in its place.

pros:
