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

A vast improvement from my old Ryzen 3 2200g. Looking at significant FPS increases. Works best with 3200Mhz of ram. This processor has not let me down and the extra cores call for great editing capabilities! I use this for gaming as well as editing and it does a great job for such a banging price!

Whats to say that hasnt already been said.

Initial impressions:

I picked an Asus b450 mb, originally with a 3700x and corsair vengeance ram. Got the ram and the mobo quickly, the 3700x kept having its date pushed back so I cancelled it and got the 2700x for a better delivery time also to remove the worry about having to update the bios so the 3700x would work. Got the 2700x a few days later and put it together with a coolermaster hyper612 v2 I already had. The bios was up to date (nice), I was seeing 4.291ghz, just short of 4.3 ghz, again good, but ram was 2166 instead of 3200. Youtube search and found the bios adjustment to get the rated 3200mhz for the ram, couldnt be happier. This replaced a e5-1680v2 which I gave my wife that couldnt be overclocked on an unbranded mobo. Also bought the 4 yr. warranty for both cpu and mobo, just in case. Mobo was $80, ram was $80 cpu $197, had everything else laying around, really cant beat Ryzen price/performance availability.

Easy to install and good looking

Its affordable and powerful. Nothing more awesome to see a 4.2 ghz with just using the regular auto-boosting from the motherboard.

Epic processor cant wait for Zen 2 and Zen 2+

This is a great processor - can handle any task that I can throw at it and probably more. The included cooler is effective except under very heavy load, but will not be something that I run with longer term.

Processor works like a dream! However, make sure your MOBO BIOS is updated if youre upgrading from a previous processor chip set. Kinda defeating when you plug in your new processor to find out it doesnt work lol. Luckily it was an easy enough fix.

Compared to a FX8350, this processor smokes anything it touches with ease. If you need to do anything but play CSGO this is the CPU you need. The included cooler is made by CoolerMaster and works very well. use 3200MHZ DDR4 ram for great results, and remember to set it to that speed in your bios using XMB or manually as it will default to stock speed.
