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

Awesome Price and processor.

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.

Bought this almost 3 years ago and still running fine with no issues.

Things a beast. I have had no issues whatsoever. Great value.

Worth every penny ... super fast!!!

Works perfectly in Ubuntu 19.10. The 3000 Series has blown it away for gaming purposes, but for a daily driver linux pc, the value here cant be beat!

Runs like a raging kitten.

The cpu is amazing had problems with the 1st one i received but Amazon send a replacement.

This is a terrible processor. Ever since I installed it into your PC Ive been getting nothing but constant hard crashes straight to a black screen. Want to run a game full screen? Too bad. Want to run more than three things at once? Too bad. Terrible purchase.

Was a little nervous putting the heat sink on...it required more pressure than I remember using last time I built a machine. But after getting it on, it works great!
