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

In all the years of my machine building, this is a first for me: I got a defective unit. I understand, this happens. Worst part about it, though, is that the replacement from Amazon for this piece was on backorder for about a month. Im just sending back the CPU and went to Best Buy to buy another.

It has worked well for the last 3 months. Great CPU for the price.

Its a pretty solid CPU with 16 threads on 8 cores which is great if you do any data crunching. Based on cpubenchmarks.net, its one of the best in terms of bang for your back, and its pretty close to the market leader in absolute power as well. Unfortunately, both major companies newer processor are suspect from a privacy/security standpoint, but intel has a much worse reputation in that regard - as far as I know Ryzen doesnt have a remote shutdown feature or a radio in the CPU (intel does, look it up).

Upgraded to the AMD Ryzen 7 2700x from my old Intel i7 3770k. My old system could still handle gaming and proccessing ok, But i always notices my CPU at Idle would be utilizing 20-30% of its resources. This chip completely destroys anything I throw at it with ease and it does not even break a sweat. Not only is this chip great for gaming but other multitasking. If you like to game but do a lot of other things like streaming your games, video editing, or other work related solutions then you cant go wrong!

Easy to install with stock heatsink CPU temp is at 36°c when just idling surfing the web for watching videos when gaming on 1080p settings CPU temp goes up to 46 to 48°c not overclocked

After trying 3 different coolers on this thing, it seems to run very hot. However after obsessing about my temps for so long, I decided to ignore them. Im still playing at 1080p and this cpu is more than enough for that. The CPU doers run noticeable hotter than Intel. This doesnt bother me anymore though and for the price, you are getting a really good processor and it allows you to spend more money on a GPU. I gave 4 stars for stability, because this is the x version. It constantly jumps in temps and usage. I get a sawtooth temperature graph. Even when my PC is idling, the CPU is going nuts sometimes. Its only annoying if you pay attention to it though. I have never had a problem in gaming or any other tasks.

As I purchase this on sale, it is an incredible value in computer technology. For my new build, I decided to give AMD the nod, and went with this processor. (I have not built with AMD since the Athlon X2 6000 Windsor core.). This CPU handily outperforms my OCd i7-5930K on the X99 platform, and that is no slouch, for a lot less money. I am running this on an ASUS Crosshair VI Extreme X370 Motherboard, and I am not noticing any thing missing from X470. My overclock and RAM compatibility are fine.

Great cpu for gaming...

although this CPU was powerful at the time of its release in 2018. I just dont get it why would spend 450$ on a CPU that original MSRP was 289$? while you can buy a Ryzen 5600x for 289$.

I used it with Gigabyte B450 for a year. It works well.
