AMD Ryzen 7 2700 Processor with Wraith Spire LED Cooler - YD2700BBAFBOX

Ive been getting more and more into video production lately both at home and creating training videos for customers at work. Ive been looking for something with enough multicore beef to allow me to do very high quality software encoding and my old 7700k wasnt quite cutting it in some projects. After building a few cheaper Ryzen 5 gaming systems for friends and coming away impressed, I decided to take a chance on AMD myself. I have to say, I dont regret it. This CPU powers through multi-threaded workloads with ease and keeps the 1080Ti fed plenty well enough for my 4k60Hz monitor when gaming. If you plan on pushing clock speeds though, plan on spending for an aftermarket cooler or just go for the 2700x if the price is close enough. The Wraith Spire is pretty good for free cooler, but Ryzen tends to hit a thermal wall pretty quickly at about 3.8-4Ghz depending on your luck in the silicon lottery. For my needs though, the spire is fine and its an attractive, compact cooler. My particular chip was able to hit 3.8Ghz on all cores with the voltage set to 1.21 (all boost/performance options in ASUS BIOS enabled also) and that pretty much maxes out the spires thermal capacity. All higher clocks needed exponentially more voltage (thus heat) and are a no-go without a very large air cooler or AIO. Aida64 was stable for 3 hours and posted an average temp of 85 celsius with one very brief random spike to 92. Blender and any video projects Ive done so far have not managed to get the CPU nearly this hot (usually never worse than 75 celsius with occasional 80 spike). Gaming doesnt stress the CPU too much, particularly at 4K60Hz and after a couple hours of 64 player action in Battlefield, my temps never exceeded 62 celsius. Overall, great chip. Also got one for my father shortly after purchasing the first and his was able to hit 4Ghz (all cores) on the stock cooler at similar temps to mine @ 3.8.

As I will start using Vegas, this is by far the best value for video encoding speeds.

Buen precio

Best CPU I’ve had way better than r5 2600

Muy buen procesador

Got this in 2019 at like 63% off. It was nuts. Still works to this day

funcionando correctamente OK

Save $$ and just overclock this to a 2700X, Im at 4.0ghz @ 1.325v. Performs about the same as a 2700x with XFR.

Sono i nuovi processori ryzen... Non cè niente da dire se non che sono potentissimi e reattivi da paura!

Excellent processeur, offre une grande polyvalence, OC à 4,00GHz avec AIO watercooling, ne dépasse jamais 72°C après un burn sous Cinebench. Système très réactif, super puissance de calcul et à laise dans les jeux. A recommander les yeux fermés !
