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

Worth buying ...

Was considering an Intel, but this is a much better value. Quiet, runs cools, included fan is nice.

Item arrived in a pretty banged up AMD box, everything else looked okay so I continued with the CPU install. As I was putting it into the motherboard, 3/4 sides would drop down in to place fine. Took a closer look at pictures I took before putting the CPU in and found that 3+ pins were bent! Anyways, thank goodness for Amazons great tech support department, Im getting a replacement, however, this item is listed as NEW but the packaging and bent pins suggest otherwise. Ill give this review an edit when the new CPU arrives.

This product was excellent while I was using but one day, the plastic holding the fan snapped and broke off hitting my GPU. I called the company to just send me a replacement of that plastic piece and they said they wouldnt do it..... I was livid because the entire thing now doesnt work because of something so minor.

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.

My son bought this to build his computer. He was buying parts at different times until he got enough parts to put his new computer together, so it had been several months from the time he bought this item and when he actually took it out of the box to use it. When he did, it did not work, at all! So now the time to return it has past, we have a CPU that does not work, we are out $305 dollars, and he still doesn’t have a working computer cuz he needs a new CPU!!!

I picked the Ryzen 7 2700X up for $135 from Amazon, the Wraith prism LED cooler is very nice, the CPU is fantastic for the $$ and the MotherBoards for AMD4 are as feature rich as Intel, sure you dont get the built in VGA graphics like Intel, but who would use only that those graphics? The 2700X is the sweet spot

Thanks AMD

I upgraded my wife’s gaming/streaming computer for Christmas. Don’t get me wrong, she did upgrade from a 6 gen i3, so anything newer was going to be better. But this exceeded all expectations. She is streaming 1080 at 60fps and drops. On top of that, her rig looks good with the cooler and all the lights. It was easy to install and no problems out of the box. I’m not a tech genius so I don’t know any of the benchmarks or any of the more technical stuff, but as a hobbyist the real world usage of this is amazing.

The cpu is great, i have put it to work and it is stable and can handle any game I throw at it. I gave away the wraith cooler so I could use a 240mm AIO and have yet to have it get hotter than 50°
