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

A vast improvement from my old Ryzen 3 2200g. Looking at significant FPS increases. Works best with 3200Mhz of ram. This processor has not let me down and the extra cores call for great editing capabilities! I use this for gaming as well as editing and it does a great job for such a banging price!

So, I am usually a non-AMD person/builder. That said, I saw some benchmarking numbers and was impressed and also, I didnt want to miss out on a good thing.

Awesome CPU only downfall is no onboard video support

The first PC I ever built I used an AMD Athlon processor in, and I loved it. When I found out about the Ryzen processors I was excited to see what they could do, and I was not disapointed. This chip feels very compitent. I put it into a gaming system, and I have had no issues with it. I also like the cooler. It looks good, and seems to function well. My only complaint about this setup is the factory applied thermal compound. I know, wipe it off and apply third party, but Im not over clocking, so I figured it would work for my purposes, and I was not disapointed, that is untill I had to swap a faulty motherboard. When I removed my cooler, it pulled the whole chip out of the socket. I was terified thinking it had dammaged something. Thankfully all pins were in place. Then came the hard part. It turns out that the factory thermal paste had spread all across the chip, and melted down the sides. I have never seen factory paste do that. The real problem though was that it somehow formed a sort of glue that had now bonded the CPU and cooler togather. They were not coming appart for anything (at least anything I was willing to try on my $300+ chip). Eventually I was able to disolve the thermal paste and save my chip using some very light heat and a little alcohol and a piece of dental floss. Aparently this happens more often then I had realized because there was a whole subredit about how to fix it (Thank you Redit ;-) . In the end it all worked out well and I have everything back up and running in my new MoBo. It was just an experience I will not forget.

Like it is just what I wanted.

Best CPU imho. Stable and fast.

I set to auto overclock and it runs quite hot for me (45-55c) at 4.0ghz . I set it to base speed and its around 42-45c. I would recommend getting a good cooler if you plan to use this all day/overclocking.

An amazing cpu for the price

it did not come with the ryzen sticker! the processor has a great performance, everything is running so smooth and great... cant go wrong with AMD
