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

Even after watching a tutorial video the fan unit was especially hard to install. In trying to get the metal straps onto the motherboard I think that I damaged the processors pins. I definitely smudged the thermal paste extensively. Now I have to worry about repairing it, and will probably have to get it professionally installed if it can be salvaged.

Using this for heavy games that require alot of processing power like Beam.NG Drive, and it doesnt even skip a beat. Highly recommend

SO HAPPY with this cpu. Upgraded my i5-4570 to this cpu was a no brainer for $160 Black Friday deal. Originally wanted to jump straight to 3600 , budget MB and 16gb ram but decided on this and use the savings for a better motherboard and more ram; MSI b450 Tomahawk MAX motherboard and 32gb ram to future proof for years. Later I can set my sights on 3900 when those prices come down a bit.

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.

My first Ryzen and this is FAST!

I just upgraded from an old FX 6100...wow was this an upgrade. Im not sure if I shouldve waited for zen 2 or not..but Im completely satisfied with this cpu.

Ive gotten 2 of these processors so far and have found them to be powerhouses when it comes to production workloads. In gaming they are on par with some less expensive, fewer core packed packages. As a general purpose processor they may be a bit overkill and they do run a little hot. The included cooler isnt as terrible as most would say but you will also not squeeze the most power out of the cores with it either.

Muy bueno lo recomiendo

One of my best upgrades so far.

**To control the RGB lighting on the cooler you only need to connect the USB connection to a motherboard USB Header and download the Wraith Prism Software from their site.. You DO NOT need to use the RGB cable. I know, sounds silly but this took me many face palms to figure out**
