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

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!!!

Highly recommend. The fan it comes with is not only very effective but beautiful. And the cpu has handled everything I threw at it. Not to mention the fantastic price.

love it!!!!!

I bought this because my Intel motherboard went out on me and I was pretty broke at the time. I have to say Im extremely impressed with AMD and the quality of their products. I bought an RX Vega 56 to go along with this, and both products work just as well if not better than some of my friends setups that are using Intel processors with Nvidia graphics cards. Would highly recommend to anyone on a budget!

Outperforms Old Xeons in double CPU configuration. Nice for gaming. Awesome for rendering (of course not as good as a Threadripper).

I did take off one star for ease of use - as the cooler clamp is a bear and a half to install. I bought an aftermarket cooler to avoid this (I literally thought I would break my last motherboard while installing the cooler clamp bracket).

With the 8 cores, this thing is a budget beast. I was thinking of adding a Ryzen 5 3600, but the Black Friday deals brought it down to like a $115. This processor definitely gives good bang for its buck. Content creation will be great as I have just started streaming, the gaming is great as well (better than console). I am overall very pleased with this purchase. I use a corsair H100i Platinum SE, but the stock cooler from what Youtubers have provided can still work great. Overall, if you are just getting into gaming, streaming, and whatever other basic PC operations, it will be a solid budget option.

How can you go wrong. I have had no issues with this processor. It does anything that i throw at it.

Let me begin by saying that I am a AMD fan, always have been. But that is not relevant here. If the processor was a piece of garbage I would tell you. I changed my setup from a FX-8350 black to this chip mainly because the 8350 was getting its but handed to it by the most recent game titles. It was a very reasonable price so I took the plunge, and Im glad I did. This chip is FAST. I have had absolutely no problems with it. I play all my titles on ultra now and it doesnt break a sweat. I highly recommend this processor to everyone. Also, as a side note I have the Wraith Prism RGB cooler that came in the box with it and it is whisper quiet even though I have a moderate overclock on the chip.

Mine goes to a stable all-core clock of 4.15 GHz with the stock Wraith Prism cooler. I backed it off to 4 GHz to keep voltage down, but Im excited to see what it can do with a proper water cooling setup.
