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

Great processor, huge upgrade from my old i7 950. Better performance and better frame rate with this one, highly recommend fir budget builds if you can do it.

Update: This CPU has heating issues, I upgraded my graphics card to an RTX 30 series which before was a GTX 980 TI didnt had that many issues except heating for no reason. I dont know why and at the end I just had to buy a 5600X which stays at 45C in idle while this CPU would give me 60c in idle and when I game it goes up to 86c and it turns off. I had this heating issue for a long time and was giving me stability issues so I upgrade to a 5600x which I just had to update the BIOS and boom no heating issues anymore. The stability is much better with my RTX 3060 in gaming. I just game so a 5600X is all that I need. This 2700X is going on sale on ebay if someone is using a water cooler in there system because a cheap fan is not enough for this CPU.

I really wanted to give it 5 stars but I just cant. If I compare it to my wifes fx 8350 then yup it blows it out of the water 5 stars, but if I compare it to my Intel i7-7700k no real difference in performance to me. So the wife won out got the new pc and I am riding my pc another year out.

Cool, fast and quiet. Great value.

After using this CPU for several months, I finally have a final opinion.

This is a great processor - can handle any task that I can throw at it and probably more. The included cooler is effective except under very heavy load, but will not be something that I run with longer term.

Its fast. Very fast. Way better value than 9900K or anything intel has to offer. Handles everything you throw at it and shines even brighter at multi-threaded apps and multi tasking. Does not throttle. I also like that theres a feasible upgrade path for 2020.

Really good

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.
