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

Good product but only lasted me 8 months when I still have a cpu from previous pc I built from 7 years ago.

As it stands, for this price range, AMD Ryzen is the only choice to consider. Comparably performing processors will ccost at least $80 more (from my research at least). It takes a lot of power and runs a little hot, but a decent PSU and fan (which it comes with)should take care of that.

Great price for performance. Went from a Ryzen 5 2600 to this and you would t think it would be that big of a jump but it was!

Runs about 65 to 70c under stress test with the prism cooler. Otherwise nothing I have played has tasked it beyond 35%. My vega 64 has 99 to 100% usage in demanding games and the CPU doesnt skip a beat. Could buy the i9-9900k if you wanna waste 300 for a few extra fps.

Incredible CPU! I have been on Intel for a couple of upgrades now, but the i5 I wanted at my price point was on back order. This thing had amazing reviews by the tech crowd, so I figured I would give it a shot, and I have not be disappointed! The cooler looks great and works surprisingly well for a stock cooler (though I have since replaced it), and the CPU itself handles everything I throw at it with ease. Join the red team!

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.

Got a great price and the processor is fast. Paired with MSI X470 Carbon Pro MB and EVGA video card.

Ok gonna be completely honest with this review. Value per dollar as of the time of I’m writing this it’s been about 3 weeks with the processor. I love it so far for virtual machines I can run 2 virtual machines at once for work. If you actually have a need for the extra cores by all means 10 out of 10 price to performance for things that Need more threads and more cores can take advantage of that shear processing power if you have the extra budget go for the 3600x or better but if your budget is 160 then this is the best bang for your buck

It handles video editing like a DREAM.

Very good.
