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

This is the first time I've gone AMD since the days of Athlon 64. My i5 2500k is really old by today's standards. Even overclocked to the max, it still stutters in intensive web browsing, lightroom, VR and newer games. Time to change. Problem is, the best two mainstream high end chips available today are the 8700k and the 2700x. Which one do I go for? For gaming 8700K will get faster frame rates if you have a 1080ti or game at a lowly 720p, but not by a huge margin. If you game at 1080p the advantage to Intel is marginal, gaming is just as good on both. 2700x has more muscle. With a whopping 16 threads you can throw any workload at it and it will chew it up. A massive difference to my 4 core 4 thread 2500k. But here's what made me go AMD. Intel Coffee Lake is a dead end. Intels desktop processor improvements have been a measly single digit % increase with each release, and you'll probably need to buy a new motherboard for the next refresh. However, AMD will support the same socket up to 2020, so whatever Ryzen 2/3/4 AMD releases in two years time will be a viable upgrade option and I can just plop it into the same motherboard. In addition, the AMD cooler is good quality and looks awesome. The 2700X is phenomenal value and cheaper. You get a huge amount of processing power for your money. You won't go wrong with 8700k or 2700X but I believe the 2700X is a better all rounder and better value. If you absolutely must have 145fps versus 125fps for gaming and happen to have a 1080ti to attain those frame rates, then go 8700K, but you will have a non upgradeable system in a years time. My build runs super stable, its on a MSI x470 carbon gaming pro motherboard with 16gb 3200mhz patriot memory. My HTC Vive VR also runs much smoother compared to the 2500k. Gaming, photoshop, lightroom, general computing tasks etc all have a noticeable improvement in speed or smoothness .Never bluescreened never crashed. I don't bother with overclocking the Ryzen, it's not worth it.

...so will try and keep it simple. I had the opportunity to upgrade from an Intel 4690k which was getting old, although still a good performer. I wanted something that would futureproof it for at least 3-5 years with games and for my photoshop video content work. The Ryzen 7 seemed to be the one; not as fast as the best I7s, but very good at Desktop work. A good all rounder from my research. Well out of the box it came with 2 cables, a big cooler fan as well as it s own connector. The spare cabling allows you to connect the fan for customisable colour changes, which is gimmicky, but nice. Then there`s the CPU, slightly bigger than my previous i5 cpu. I fitted it nervously into my new 470 Motherboard.I used the standard paste already on the fan. Whole thing came to life on startup first time with the fan exhibiting a very orangey swirly display. After installing the chipset drivers,etc off the net from AMD`s site. Running with 16 Gig 2400mhz Ram (I heard that 3200mhz ram is better for Ryzen, but just couldn`t push that far, probably later). I checked the Bios which is very user friendly... I guess it`s just me, but I kinda of liked Bios when they were a scary-looking blue screen with a severe interface! Felt serious, now it looks almost gamey... Popped up the ram Easy overclocker to 1, left the rest. Anyway... Ran a few games first to see if all was well (I find this often better than synthetic benchmarks). Dying Light ran like a dream. It ran really well with my previous i5, but this time it just `felt` much, much smoother. everything just happened instantly without a sweat; a zillion zombies attack and I`m just slashing through them with all the carnage then running and jumping into a ledge and climbing a tall building. hard to describe just how smooth it was, not a dip. Total Warhammer 2 again, ran smooth on the Campaign map and in battles, just no dips or stutters that I could see. Xcom2 breezes along. On photoshop, while running Office and playing VLC music, no problem at all working sweetly and efficiently, opening graphic files, manipulating them, etc, even while online (I usually go offline while working). Finally I gave a synthetic benchtest on SuperPosition and 3Dmark which was when I finally heard the cpu fan start chugging and it can be quite noisy. The scores weren`t really that much better than my 4690k, though I know it measures more off my 1060 graphics card. I guess the cpu is now bottlenecked partly by the GPU? Ran User Benchmark and got Gaming: Aircraft Carrier. Desktop: UFO. And WorkStation: UFO... Whatever that all means, but I guess it`s good. lol. Very please with this cpu so far. Recommended. p.s. Had it a year now and it has worked flawlessly. It is unfair for me to keep this at 4 stars, upping to 5 Stars- Deserved.

A great all-round CPU, you get 8 cores and 16 threads with clock speeds upwards of 4GHz in most workloads on all cores. This processor will outperform any similarly priced Intel CPU in raw performance and be very competitive in gaming performance. Essentially unmatched price/performance out of the box, with the exception of the 2600X which is just as good for gaming, but you get 2 less cores. I highly recommend this processor for anyone running the latest games, streaming, recording, and multi-tasking as it's a beast and really can handle anything you throw at it. AMD has come a long way since the Bulldozer FX series, and the 2700X really represents that progress. In a nutshell, for this price point (£300) you are getting the best performance possible in multi-tasking and productivity and still excellent gaming performance. The slightly cheaper i5's of the 8th and 9th generation will give you a bit more Average FPS in most games but your minimums may be lower. This CPU stomps both of those in multi-threaded. This also comes with a soldered heat-spreader and high quality stock cooler (With RGB)! whereas you have to buy the cooler with Intel.

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.

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.
