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

Really fast and comes with a really nice cooler.

No complaints at all. A bit overkill for my gaming rig but will last a few years till next upgrade.

Im running this AMD Ryzen 7 2700X under Linux Mint 19 as a general workstation. I paired it with an EVGA RTX 2080 GPU, 64G of RAM, and SSDs. These arent the absolute fastest parts, but the price came in about $300 less than a build with an Intel chipset for comparable performance. Typical workloads include lots of compilation (gcc), Blender, VirtualBox VMs, docker, Lightworks video editing, and other development tasks. Under moderate load the fans tick up, but it runs cooler than the box it replaces though its easily twice as fast.

I absolutely love my Ryzen 7 2700x. This is the best value for the buck at this price range. It performs well and overclocks well and I seldom get close to the limits of its power. The cooler that comes with the CPU is just another bonus add-in that you wont see Intel throwing in with their CPUs. I will be with AMD and their Ryzen platform for a long time.

Great for gaming, video editing. 2019 and this thing is still a beast.

Works as expected definently an improvement for me personally coming from the 2200g I could have gone 3rd gen ryzen but this is adequate for my computing needs

I purchased this processor in a build for my daughter, she is going from an FX-8320 and the cost was the biggest factor in choosing Ryzen Zen+ over the new Ryzen Zen 2. This processor is a powerhouse for content creation, real world workloads, and of course gaming.

Its fast! And the cooler looks... well, cool!

This thing is a beast! Over clocking is super easy as well. Make sure an get a liquid cooler though (at least a 280mm, a 240mm will work), but doesnt keep it as cool as i would like. When i up grade from my current 240mm, I will finish overclocking cpu and ram for the best combo for my system and update.

This is by far the best CPU I have ever owned. I had to return the first one, but it was totally my fault. I’m a novice when it comes to building computers and thought you had to apply the thermal paste to both sides of the chip. I ended up ruining the CPU and MB, but got it right the second time. This thing rocks!
