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

This was my first time building a PC. I always heard that putting in the processor would be the most terrifying part.

This was very easy to get up and running. Runs very cool but cant over clock it much even with water cooling. 4.1 GHz only when testing with prime 95 small FFT.

I have overclocked this CPU and have been very happy with the results. Far better value than Intel.

CPU is working Fantastic for my New AMD Gaming PC Build, Being someone who used Intel Before I find it rejuvenating Changing to AMD with this 8 core CPU Im getting better upload times and rendering times for Videos during Editing and 3D rendering which is far better in honesty then my last 4 Core Intel CPU Build. This Build even opened my eyes to maybe down the line going for a Hardcore Threadripper Build in the Future at some point.

Was the fastest Ryzen when I bought it. Never really peaks above 65% while gaming.

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.

This processor was the replacement of an i7 3770 and well I really felt a big jump and Im happy with the product, you really get to do many things and you do not feel that you have any limits, everything just flows, the stock dissipater is fine if You go to a maximum frequencies of 4.0 - 4.15, after that I started to go to 75 - 80; Automatically you get a good performance with small amounts of heat sink acceleration depending on the tasks you do for your function of auto OC, helps maintaining good temperatures but with some extra noise but if it does not bother you do not have to worry, in any case monitor your temperatures with the Ryzen Master application to verify how many degrees it goes when it makes more noise, from 65 - 70 normally went to the maximum (switch on the switch of the heatsink to high), I assume that in low it will be quieter and work less Frequently, I did not probe it, it was not something that bothered me since the temperatures were going well. In the future if you want to get more out of it, change it for a better dissipater or liquid refrigeration.

Good

I struggled for some time trying to decide on an Intel build or an AMD but I will definitely say I am more than happy with this CPU. This thing is a beast running current triple a games at full detail and only using around 20% of this 8 core chip. Im planning on trying virtualization with it to get the most out of it. Most games only need 2-4 cores.

One is the best gaming CPUs on the market Anything in the series is going to run video games flawlessly
