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

I just finalized my new PC build using the AMD Ryzen 2700x with the goal of photo and video editing. I also considered the Intel i7 8700k which slightly higher single core score, whereas the 2700X beats it at multi core performance. I mostly use Photoshop, Lightroom CC classic and some other photo editing software suites and while they are not yet fully optimized for multi core operation, I’m better prepared for the future with the 2700X. I use this CPU together with the MSI x470 gaming plus motherboard and it runs without any issues. With the fan that comes with this CPU and without any over cloxking, the standby temperature of the CPU is around 31C which steps up to just below 50F under load. Since I’m not using this system for gaming, I do not really need forced water cooling. The system runs quiet and fast. The attached photo shows that the CPU fan that comes with this CPU has multiple colors which is nice.

Ive been an Intel guy forever but This thing is sweet. It can handle anything I need to do. Video editing is super snappy in Vegas Pro, Im even able to edit 4k raw video. Gaming is sweet, im getting over 100 fps in most games paired with a GTX 1080. Photo edit and design is easliy handled. I Paired it with Asus B450 MB, 32 GB ram and a 500gb NVMe and this is the best PC Ive ever built. 5 stars and I would recommend this to everyone.

Attaching the stock fan is kinda wonky

Pay the extra money for this CPU vs the Ryzen 3 or 5, you won’t regret it.

really fast and quiet, i got it for a new build and it works like a charm great cooler too.

An excellent upgrade in the gaming rig. I will say that the heat sink was fidgety, but performs well once it installed.

I am more of a plug and play kind of person thats why i chose this X variant because it overclocks itself depending on the temps and im happy with the given results in games and productivity.

Cool

Excellent Price per Performance for the product itself, very nice shipping speed and quality from Amazon.

I love this 2700X processor very much. I cant wait for the 3700X series to come out in Q2-2019, because it will be amazing!!!
