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

poop... When I bought this product, I got ryzen 5 2600.

I gotta give props to AMD for this CPU. Why? Well, I was an idiot and put the CPU fan on the wrong side and so I had to remove the CPU fan. When I did, I ended up yanking the CPU out of the socket and bending at least 3 or 4 pins. I thought the CPU was dead, but I cleaned off the CPU in alcohol and straightened the pins using a razor blade. To my surprise, I installed the CPU and it has been up and running now without issue for a few months. Not one crash, stability or heat issues.

Just get you will not regret it.

Best CPU on the market in my book. Has no Meltdown IO performance hit as Intel CPUs do. I tested my workload (Visual Studio solutions) and saw up to 30% performance hit on the Intel systems at work compared to my 2700X at home.

As far as processors go, there are a few things to note anout this one in particular:

Works like a champ. Fan and heat sync look great as well.

Am very happy with performance for the price. Know it’s not top of the line but for my personal applications I’m very happy.

MAn i can get this CPU to perform gracefully, recommend to anyone.

The Ryzen 7 2700x is more than capable than handling anything I throw at it. Also, the cooler it comes with works great too.

I bought this more for the Prism cooler than the processor itself so I can use it when I upgrade. It keeps me at 60 - 62 degrees at 4.25hz. It also has a really neat Mirage effect that makes the fan appear to spin slower than it actually is, which is really neat. Still a crazy good processor for the money. Would recommend to anyone who doesnt want to break the bank with their build. 8 cores and 16 threads is great for someone who likes multitasking and wants good performance with gaming and productivity workloads like photoshop.
