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

At 159.00 this was a steel. Cant beat AMD right now for price and performance.

Outstanding CPU, I havent had it even reach 100% power due to how little multi-tasking, games, and Adobe illustrator affects it.

Works well to keep high end games running well, especially for the price.

Received an amazing deal on this processor to build a gaming system for my son, and the processor has not disappointed. Easy install and amazing performance. Highly recommend.

I marked the ease of installation as a 3/5 because of the cooler. The way the clips function isnt particularly well explained in the manual and the lever is a bit of a pain in the ass to work. For a first time builder it was marginally terrifying futzing with the seating of the cooler as there arent many videos available for an explanation.

Went with a gen 2 for a game box and paired with a Vega GPU. Great for 1080 gaming and thats what it was built for. I have a gen 3 as well paired with a 2080 and other than a few 4k titles not much reason until some triple A VR titles and more 4k games and not remakes.

Good power for the price. Comes bundled with an exceptionally good heatsink and cooler.

Excellent processor. Stock cooler is too loud.

I upgraded my wife’s gaming/streaming computer for Christmas. Don’t get me wrong, she did upgrade from a 6 gen i3, so anything newer was going to be better. But this exceeded all expectations. She is streaming 1080 at 60fps and drops. On top of that, her rig looks good with the cooler and all the lights. It was easy to install and no problems out of the box. I’m not a tech genius so I don’t know any of the benchmarks or any of the more technical stuff, but as a hobbyist the real world usage of this is amazing.

Got a great processor for a great price. Im a moderate gamer and and do some work in lightroom and Photoshop as well. Did a little overclocking on it and its smooth as butter.
