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

Eight full cores! Sixteen threads! 4 GHz! What more could I ask for, for this price?

I been switching from 1500x to 1700x to 2700x not satisfied I switched to Intel what a difference, u you looking a processor for gaming Intel is the smart choice.

Pros- EVERYTHING

As advertised

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.

Works very well.

Serves me well.

Wonderful cpu fore the money. Does everything needed to no problems.

Noisy fan at first but I got used to it quickly. Incredible performance. Also great for editing photo and video.

i purchased this CPU back in April and it is a workhorse (MSI Gaming Carbon Pro, MSI 2060 Gaming Z, 32 GB 3200 DDR4) When the 3000 series came out, I couldnt see spending 300 dollars for only 15% performance increase. Ill wait until the 4000 series or until the price drops. Would recommend a x570 MB so when the 4000 comes out for easy upgrade. Make sure you get QVL certified Memory specified in the MB manual. So buy this awesome processor and use the savings for a better video card and you cant go wrong.
