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

Bought this for my sons custom PC build. He was super excited knowing that some of his favorite streamers run this chipset, & I was happy that performance actually outweighs the price point. I would definitely recommend in a build for a teen gamer. I would not pair Cosair ram though, that caused a few issues but we switch out to another brand.

It’s Ryzen. It’s perfect. Sure it’s single core isn’t on Par with intel, but it’s not that far off. And it’s multi threaded performance is off the charts and wipes the floor with intel. All for a MUCH cheaper package, cooling solutions, mother boards, etc. 10/10 one of the best purchases I made last year.

That’s nice thank you AMD

On sale this item was a steak and highly recommended.

Am very happy with performance for the price. Know it’s not top of the line but for my personal applications I’m very happy.

More processing power than the average user needs. i use this for making my blue rays and video encoding/decoding flys threw no problem.

This chip is amazing, runs a little hotter than my previous I7 but that was expected and stock cooler is definitely louder but is something I am willing to put up with until I buy a stock cooler.

I got this CPU on Prime Day for $199 and sorta won the silicon lotto, With a standard 240 Arctic water AIO it stays below 65C and boosts to 4.35Ghz. Really good product from AMD. Make sure to match it to a good MB and RAM.

What Ive always loved about Ryzen CPUs is their value compared to Intel. AMD is comparable to the 8700k (~$360), and some even consider it to be on par with the 9700k (~$420 on Amazon). Upgrading from a 1600 (on one computer) and 2600x (on another) is a breeze. Why? AM4 compatibility, which is something Intel decides not to do. Want to upgrade to Ryzen 2 (TBA at CES)? Just take off your cooler, take your current CPU out, and put this new one in WITHOUT the hassle of dropping another $190-$290 on a new motherboard. The 2700x even comes with a cooler, which the 9700k does not have, and a fine cooler at that. An aesthetically pleasing cooler and fully functional one that keeps one of my 2700x under 73C with Precision Boost 3 (which goes up to 5Ghz for me). My other 2700x is AIO water cooled, and can push out up to 6.5Ghz (on all cores) with Precision Boost 2 at 70C-80C.

Has been an outstanding processor so far. Mine usually runs at 4.2 GHz with XFR and has no issues.
