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

Great for gaming

General:

AMD score BIG with this processor! GREAT price for this kind of performance and It comes with a GREAT air cooler, I came from an intel 4790k + R290x + 32gb of DDR3 1600mhz, and the 2700x is 2 to 3 times faster (cinebench on 4790k is 866 poins and on 2700x its near 1700 with stock settings). I had it for less than a month, im still configuring the new machine (x470 Asus Strix ITX + EVGA 1080ti SC2 + 32Gb Corsair 3333mhs - maximum RAM speed i can run stable right now is 3000mhz - this combination is more than 3x faster than the old one). This processor is the new performance/price king of this generation! Really recommend it!

Super nice

Given the 3000-Series launch right now is the perfect time to upgrade CPUs. I purchased this on prime day ($199) and the price to performance of this chip is amazing. It comes with the cooler and was far easier to install than my 1600x that required an aftermarket cooler.

The air cooler rgb ring was stuck on yellow and would only change the amd letter colors.

AMD hasnt seen a good oveecllocking chip since the Duron 600. Ive been using them since the super 486 chips were around. I did managed a 4.2Ghz @ 1.4v OC but that isnt even turbo speed. Ryzen has given team red the chip we have been waiting for but as usual falls just short of truely competing with team blue. AMD for life.

Epic processor cant wait for Zen 2 and Zen 2+

Ive been an intel guy my entire life. So when one of my friends recommended this as a close bang for your buck option for gaming I thought he was nuts at first. But it turns out hes absolutely correct. Before my last pc fried I was used to intel and was running an Intel core i5 4570. I think I paid $189 for this on sale? Anyways this thing over clocks based on tempurature so when you use sufficient cooling its just nuts. With my new setup it rarely gets anywhere over 45 Celsius (running it with an Asus rog b-450f motherboard and rtx 2070 super) when you compare this to the Intel option which I belive was around $500 AND it does not come with a cooler included (which this does) you cant beat it. Save yourself 400 dollars in the long run and accept the general 4 to 9 percent of performance lost tested on many games. Coming from an Intel fan boy building pcs sense the pentium 4 days you will be highly satisfied.

First time building my own PC and used the Ryzen 7 2700X. It was very simple to install into the MOBO, just have to be careful to only touch the edges, not the bottom or top. The cooler was a little more difficult to install only because I thought I would break it. There is a latch on the cooler that attaches to the MOBO and you have to apply quite a bit of force for it to snap down. Dont worry tho, you wont break anything.
