AMD Ryzen 7 2700 Processor with Wraith Spire LED Cooler - YD2700BBAFBOX

Ive been getting more and more into video production lately both at home and creating training videos for customers at work. Ive been looking for something with enough multicore beef to allow me to do very high quality software encoding and my old 7700k wasnt quite cutting it in some projects. After building a few cheaper Ryzen 5 gaming systems for friends and coming away impressed, I decided to take a chance on AMD myself. I have to say, I dont regret it. This CPU powers through multi-threaded workloads with ease and keeps the 1080Ti fed plenty well enough for my 4k60Hz monitor when gaming. If you plan on pushing clock speeds though, plan on spending for an aftermarket cooler or just go for the 2700x if the price is close enough. The Wraith Spire is pretty good for free cooler, but Ryzen tends to hit a thermal wall pretty quickly at about 3.8-4Ghz depending on your luck in the silicon lottery. For my needs though, the spire is fine and its an attractive, compact cooler. My particular chip was able to hit 3.8Ghz on all cores with the voltage set to 1.21 (all boost/performance options in ASUS BIOS enabled also) and that pretty much maxes out the spires thermal capacity. All higher clocks needed exponentially more voltage (thus heat) and are a no-go without a very large air cooler or AIO. Aida64 was stable for 3 hours and posted an average temp of 85 celsius with one very brief random spike to 92. Blender and any video projects Ive done so far have not managed to get the CPU nearly this hot (usually never worse than 75 celsius with occasional 80 spike). Gaming doesnt stress the CPU too much, particularly at 4K60Hz and after a couple hours of 64 player action in Battlefield, my temps never exceeded 62 celsius. Overall, great chip. Also got one for my father shortly after purchasing the first and his was able to hit 4Ghz (all cores) on the stock cooler at similar temps to mine @ 3.8.

I love it

Good .

Good price

Love this

great value

Wow. Positively amazing. This was an upgrade to an older Haswell era i7. I thought, sure itll be a bit faster. No..oh no...Its like the first time you experienced a SSD versus a HDD. This is an absolute MONSTER of a CPU. Ive been using it at the heart of a workstation for Next Generation Sequencing analysis, where 8 cores is about the minimum necessary, and I was blown away by the speed of this CPU.

16 cores is this real life? with the bitcoin nonsense wish i had a rtx 3070 to go with it

Best value for money out there at the time of purchase . Absolutely eats at 144hz gaming and 1080p 60fps streaming. Hits about 80-90% load during streams but I think it is yet to throttle. Running with stock air cooling, 3200 c18 DDR4, GTX 970 & samsung 970 evo pro.
