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

i had an issue with intermitted posting on the parts i ordered. couldnt rule out parts as i had no more ddr4, am4 cpus or boards to change out to test. after sending it all back, i got another one of these chips. it smokes my fx8350 in every way shape and form. id advise others to be sure to get a good board to run these if youre not on the am4 platform. they can draw some power. i looked at the vrms. anyway i couldnt be more pleased with this cpu as of right now.

Such a beast for so little money

I recently went team red, and am super happy with the results. I have been using an older Intel chip (4790k) and while it wasnt a slouch by any means, it was still showing its age. I was tied to DDR3 RAM and I do dabble in content creation and gaming/streaming. Trying to run everything all together caused some noticeable slowdowns/stutters. I paired this chip with an Asus ROG STRIX X470 board and 16 GB of DDR4 from Corsair. I do have an AIO cooler that I chose to reuse and as such I left the wraith cooler that was included in the box. It does however appear to be a pretty beefy cooler, and not just a basic fan like you would get with an Intel chip. Pay attention to the orientation of the chip before installation, there should be a gold triangle on the corner that coincides with a mark on the board socket. This seems to be where most new builders accidentally damage a pin and you dont want that. Speed wise I saw an immediate jump in terms of how fast rendering happened, and putting load on the chip was like slicing warm butter. Smooth, easily spreadable and loaded with delicious goodness. Benchmarking showed a definite increase in the multicore score compared to my 4790k which is great. I wish I had saved a screencap of each but that didnt occur to me until after I had done the AMD chip. I havent dabbled in OC this chip yet, I want to do some research to determine the best route to go but I hear it clocks well and can get some great speeds out of it. Overall I am glad I got this, I could have waited for GEN3 Ryzen but I dont mind. I feel like all the bugs got worked out here.

might not run SimAnt at 120000 FPS but it works great for my multi tasking- processing and data bases are crushed under this proc. out performs my work Intel by 37%

havent been able to install it will have to buy an after market coolers :/

Solid Cpu for a good gaming pc

Got mine on sale for 200$ and it’s an easy steal for that price. I built a new pc out of some of my old prebuilt’s parts. I paired this with my Gtx 1060 6gb and my cpu is no longer bottlenecking my gpu. This processor in the right build is a beast.

Use a good fan if you planning to overklock. Mine is working at 4.7ghz for a half year and it prety stable and working fast.

Its in my PC with a new motherboard that could run more. I cant see why I would. This runs everything I want (Im a gamer) like a boss. Crushing everything I throw at it. You can get more. But you will pay WAY more. Your choice.

I expected exactly what I received from the Ryzen 7 2700x. No problems and its fast/smooth!
