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

I really like this processor. Works great and reliable and does what it’s supposed to.

Our son said we needed this now my husband is happy

Basically very very good CPU in all aspects.

I have been very eager to get a Ryzen CPU after some saving and waiting I was able to get 2nd gen Ryzen 7 2700X and I have used it mainly for gaming but also a little bit of 3D modeling and animation and I am very impressed with its performance and I also got a vega rx with it so that combo was very nice.

Lots of compatibility issues it appears it having.

Product was $40 cheaper less than 2 weeks after purchase. Considered returning it and repurchasing. Seemed dishonest and amazon was no help. Not much I could do...

It was an amazing CPU, the problem is the Wraith Stealth Cooler theyve attached with the product. Theres so much thermal cooling paste applied to the fan that after installing the cpu, when I tried to take the fan off the cpu it yanked the cpu out of its socket, breaking my sockets lever and bending multiple rows of cpu pins. This effectively rendered my computer a $2500 paperweight till I can buy a new one. REMOVE ALL BUT A VERY TINY AMOUNT OF THERMAL PASTE OFF THE FAN BEFORE USE.

Seriously, buy it.

CPU handles everything that I throw at it. Can stream with CPU encoding on medium quality settings in OBS while playing a game and not max out this CPU. Stock cooler performs well enough and looks really nice. No issues with Linux. Cant really ask for any more in a CPU. Id recommend the Ryzen 7 2700 over this if its on sale or the Ryzen 5 2600(x) if you want to spend a $100+ less and dont mind overclocking/having two fewer cores.

This was my first comp build in 15 years. Also my first AMD build. Needless to say not disappointed one bit. Processor has handled everything I have thrown at it and impressed me greatly. Games, streaming, you name it. Has handled it all.
