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

Havent had an AMD processor since the Athlon X2 series on the 939 socket. This was used to replace an Intel i5-4670K system. As well as consolidate two computers into one. BIG BIG difference! The new 2700X system is a dual purpose Python development/gaming system. The extra cores are a night and day difference for the former. This thing can run a Linux VM crunching data and storing that within a local database and play a game at the same time while I wait! If you need the extra threads just grab this CPU and spend the extra money saved on more RAM or a better GPU.

This is an amazing chip for what it does at this price-point. Im not talking budget-level performance either. This is enthusiast-grade performance without the nasty Intel price-points. And the chip is designed to provide almost all of the performance its capable of out of the box, without having to do anything with it (great for basic consumers who dont want to fuss with settings and whatnot).

Great CPU. Fan is great. Great for gaming. Used for an Unraid server with many dockers and VMs.

Not a big fan of the RGB lighting, but the cooler worked well and the CPU is great. I love this CPU for rendering and other intensive processes. A huge upgrade from my old i5-2500k.

Processors speak for itself.

Not much to say that hasnt already been said about this processor. Its great performance for the money. Probably my only real complaint would be that the RGB on the Wraith Prism cooler isnt completely addressable without using the Corsair connector and software. For my situation, this was not a real issue since my system is water cooled, but I can imagine it being an annoyance for anyone wanting to air cool, unless they are already using corsairs software.

This was a great purchase. The price/performance of this processor made it an irresistible purchase. It meets all my performance requirements for my digital video workstation.

Amazing cpu that runs smooth with my B450 MSI motherboard

8 cores of power to do anything, worth 300$

Overall experience in gaming, streaming, rendering, and day to day activities, I can tell there has been an improvement. Very glad to get this.
