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

Got this during Black Friday 2019 for $160. It was an unbeatable deal. I just looked at the R5 3600 like "sorry buddy, I want you but lol...they're making it difficult." I know they usually say the extra 2 cores work well for streaming so I did some twitch streaming @60fps 720p high video bitrate over wifi just to see how it handled it. Had several of my friends tune in including myself from another device. Stream was flawless. Meanwhile the game I was running was Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown. 1440p, completely maxed out graphics locked at 60fps. Didn't check the results without a cap while streaming but I know that when I was playing off stream and removed the cap I was getting like 170fps. I paired it up with a Sapphire Nitro+ 5700XT. It's a match made in heaven and the RGB of both the CPU and GPU are glorious. I've yet to find any reason to overlcock this CPU. It destroys everything I throw at it. Afterburner shows that the CPU handles itself nicely, boosting up to 4.2Ghz when it needs to, and coming back down to 3.7Ghz. I've never seen it hit 4.3Ghz on its own but like I said, when all your games get FPS like that at stock with those resolutions & graphics settings, what's the point? Emulators get devoured too. Wii U, PS3, Wii/GameCube, PS2 etc, just straight devoured. Breath of the Wild running at 4K@60 like....."WASSUP?" Not to mention CEMU 1.17.1 is dropping very soon and we're gonna see an even bigger boost in performance for AMD users. I always see the argument about "get the R7 2700X over the R5 3600 only if you stream". No bro, just get it cuz it's cheaper, has more cores, and has a monster heatsink. The gaming performance you're gonna lose is extremely negligent. Check out the testers on youtube. Speaking of heatsink, almost forgot the temps. I use a NZXT H510 with only the default exhaust fan setup. No extra case fans. I just tweaked the fan curves of the case, cpu and gpu slightly to my liking. Not enough for noise to be an issue either. I live in the Caribbean, it's dry season at the moment, so it's hot as hell. No AC in my room. My temps never go above 70c while gaming....so it's pretty safe to say the heatsink is doing its job. I was expecting more heat with a cramped case like mine and that monster AMD gpu (you know AMD looooves some toast action), but everything's actually running cool. This CPU/Heatsink combo man, there's just so much to love and so much money to save. Gotta love it lol.

Stable, no issues. Wrote more about my feedback in regards to the platform on my board review. You can find plenty of reviews on this, but this is highly recommended. Great for gaming and software development. The performance is really strong, no blue-screens, and they did a good job of coaching/handhold the board companies to make sure they have their act together on this release. I have only had it for a few days, but i didn't even need to reinstall my os from the previous cpu which was intel (your mileage will vary). This is truely a great platform. And with amd you can upgrade your cpu in a couple of years, in the same board. They promised though 2020 support which means you get the 7nm cpu. Since there is real competition now you can expect some real innovation in the next couple of years, so this is a big deal from both intel and amd. It makes everyone better Nice to see amd back in the game. It has made a huge impact on cpu prices and feature set. The cooler also worked great for me. No temperature issues. The cooler is louder than what i liked. as a bit of an enthusiast i would rather have a larger but quieter fan on the board. The cooler is perfectly designed for this cpu. i would by default spend any money on an after market cooler 100 would be better used on a gpu or ram by far. Note you can also make sure your case has good airflow and go with simpler cooling solutions since you don't need to compensate for a bad case or case fan setup. Anyway, this is a great well rounded cpu. As a software engineer it is great to see fast compile times, and cores to spare for hyperv and docker. I can also play all the latest games just fine. though truth be told you can do that with a 150 dollar cpu. I didn't have any problems with Ram compatibility. I came from Haswell (intel) i dont' notice any difference in gaming (not expecting to) but productivitivy is a big boost. If you just game you really don't need this much cpu generally.

When I saw these go on sale for 160 I had to pick one up and get a new build going. My previous PC had an AMD FX 6300, so upgrading from that to this Ryzen 7 is pretty amazing. The 6300 could handle most of what I wanted to do, but this Ryzen handles it with ease and does more. Constant 60fps with 1440p and some games in 4k with good framerates paired with the RX 580, and down the line I plan to upgrade GPUs to get better performance since I'm sure it can do better. Nearly instant boot times when paired with an M.2 NVMe drive, and most processes are a breeze. The Wraith spire was very easy to install on the ASUS Strix B450-F since it went directly on the brackets that were already on the motherboard (which was great since the coolers I've installed in the past have been a pain in comparison), looks pretty with the LEDs and runs relatively well from what I can gather. My only concern is the temps on this CPU, and to my understanding the main difference with X models is that they come overclocked, and I imagine that's why the temps are high. Of course, the 6300 with an aftermarket cooler rarely went over 100°F and that's the CPU I've had for a while, so I was a bit surprised to see the temps show up at 130-140°F while idling. According to some posts I've seen this is the normal for the 2700X, and it does make sense since it is more powerful and comes overclocked in comparison to the CPUs I've had more experience with. Thankfully even though it does run hot it doesn't get much hotter, my temps haven't really gone over 155°F while gaming or performing tasks, and the max is about 185°F. The usage percent hasn't gone above 40 for most of my regular gaming and tasks either, which is impressive. It's a great CPU to get, especially while it's on sale for around $160.

Actualizado por segunda y última ocasión :) *** Este fue mi primer armado. El procesador es excelente, de lo mejor que puede haber por tu dinero si eres alguien que aprovecha todos los cores. Si quieres jugar es mejor que te compres un R5 o 3 y el restante del dinero vaya a la gráfica. Lamentablemente mi enfriador vino defectuoso pues el anillo RGB no prendía completamente. Es algo menor y estético, pero se paga todo el precio. Por tanto, se espera que el producto funcione al 100%. Y más tratandose de la punta de lanza en la linea RYZEN. Sí es molesto y lo es más el tener que considerar volver a comprarlo separado (unos 1300 MXN) solo por este detalle, pero tampoco me agrada para nada el quedarme con el producto así. Investigaré sobre la garantía con fabricante pero no tengo grandes esperanzas, además de que tendría que quedarme sin CPU, y por lo tanto PC, por quiénsabe cuánto tiempo lo cual es muy inconveniente en mi caso que es mi herramienta de trabajo. Trataré de actualizar mi reseña conforme a lo que suceda. Gracias por leer. *** Actualización *** Parece que pequé de pesimista debido a malas experiencias anteriores con las garantías. He contactado directo con AMD (aunque el enfriador sea fabricado por CoolerMaster) a través de la pagina web. Les envié una imagen y descripción clara del problema. Tiempo después fui atendido por una agente de soporte, pidiendome un video demostrando el asunto. Pocos días después de enviado me confirma que enviaría la información internamente para su seguimiento. Esperé pacientemente y si bien no me han respondido, me encuentro con la grata sorpresa de un correo de envío DHL a mi dirección con la siguiente descripción: SAMPLE / WRAITH PRISM COOLER(SR4) No pensé que AMD hiciera RMAs avanzados (te envían el producto reemplazo primero) pero ya desde el vamos, por el hecho de que al parecer resolverán el problema sin complicación, estoy contento. **Actualización 2** AMD me reemplazó sin problema alguno el disipador no una, si no dos veces (aduana dañó el primero que enviaron) por medio de DHL en dos días. Estoy muy contento con ellos pues el producto no solo tiene un excelente valor si no que el servicio fue muy grato. No tuve que enviar mi pieza defectuosa ni dar mucha explicación mas que un video sencillo en el que mostré el defecto. Sin duda me quedaré en el equipo rojo para el futuro.

Edit: Bios güncelleme ile 3600mhz xmp ile direkt sorunsuz çalıştırıyor (2x16gb) Video Renderde çok başarılı Bilgisayarınızda EKRAN KARTI gerekiyor kendi içinde dahili grafik birimi YOK 3466 veya daha üstü ram hızını destekliyor Sıvı soğutma ile kullanın İçinden rgb fan çıkıyor AM4 soket Anakartı X470 msı Gaming plus seçtim Ram uyumunu araştırın netten 4K oyunlarda çoğu işlemci yakın performans veriyor 1080p oyun oynayacaksınız 8700K alabilirsiniz Garanti belgesi fatura çıkıyor kutudan 3 yıl garantili olduğu yazıyor gelen kağıtta Not: sonraki gelen ürünlerde 2 yıl garantili Olduğu yazıyor 2 yıl garantili mi 3 yıl garantili mi anlamadım öyle bir ikilik var. Anakartın 3466 mhz desteklemesine rağman 3466 mhz ramle 4x4 gb kullanıyorum MAXİMUM 2933 MHZ destekliyor şuan . belki bios güncellemeyle ince ayarla oc falan düzelir AMA genel durum bu. zaten sistem tavsiyelerinde de 3000 mhz ram tavsiye ediliyor. fazla ayrıntısını bilmiyorum. 8 gb ram ile 3466 mhz destekleyebilir yazıyor sitesinde uyumlu ram listesine bakın orda ayrıntılı bilgiler var i7 6700K ile 16 gb sorunsuz 3466 mhz destekliyordu bu ramler. ramde sorun yok. işlemci halen güncel bir işlemci alınabilir.

Ainda não montei o PC, porém a entrega foi rápida e efetiva, assim que montar darei minha nota.

Fonctionne a merveille

It's a super processer that you can get at this price point! It's blazing fast. The installation is bit frustrating especially mounting the heatsink, you have to try couple of times before easily putting it into place. Plus you have to be really careful while mounting, too much pressure can break the board/processor. The heatsink is super cool and massive, has RGB lighting as well. You need to upgrade to a water cooler only if you're planning to overclock the unit.
