The processor arrived quickly, but the Wraith Prism Cooler fan was DOA, and no amount of TLC got it work again. Fortunately, I had another cooler to use with this processor. These coolers are less than wonderful, anyway, and always require a struggle to get the clips to align for proper lockdown. In fact, I've ordered another brand of RGB cooler to replace all of my Wraith Prime Coolers with some easier to install and easier to remove, should that become necessary.

Bought this about a month ago for a new PC build. Decided to use the stock cooler until I get into more complex overclocking. It's working really well so far. Getting the cooler installed and set up was a bit tricky, but this is my first build ever, so take that with a grain of salt. Overall, a very positive experience. The star drop is purely for the cooler. Pros: - Processor is fast, handles lots of different programs open at the same with little effort - Processor is easy to install - Cooler looks great and has customizable LEDs - Processor overclocks itself up to 4.1 GHz out of the box Cons: - The fastening mechanism for the cooler was a pain in the butt to fiddle around with, and I'm pretty sure the tension arm on mine is on the wrong side or that the face plate is upside down. - The fan on the cooler is the noisiest one in my case (other fans are bequiet! Silent Wings 3 140mm and Phanteks PWM 140mm). It's not crazy loud, but considering the other fans are silent, this one is noticeable when it gets up to speed, which is often because the processor tends to run hot. - The LEDs on the cooler require separate software made by Cooler Master in order to customize them or sync them up with case/fan lights. TL;DR: Great processor; pretty and usable but not amazing stock cooler.Read full review

This is a huge step up for AMD in the line of CPUs. I really like how my applications launch faster and run smoother than before. Coming from an FX-9590, the difference in performance is absolutely mind-blowing. I cannot stress out the efficiency and silence this CPU runs at. Even the included cooler looks... cool! I am glad I went AMD and not Intel because for the price I paid for this CPU, I saved up and got a larger hard drive for my new PC.

the best cpu I ever owned, I paired this 2700x with a b450 asrock hdv 4.0 micro atx model, and it runs just fine on all stock clocks with 3000mhz XPG gammix ram locked at 2133, I turned off all auto OC settings and locked my frames to 60fps with a 5500xt, CPU does not raise above 59c on gaming and it records 2k gaming at 60fps thanks AMD best chip

Wanted a cheap system to encode H265 on the CPU versus using a GPU or QuickSync since the quality using the CPU for encoding is the best from my limited testing so far. Since this processor has been out a few years there are quite a few used ones for sale so prices are fairly reasonable, motherboards are also fairly plentiful new or used giving a good range of choices from basic to full featured. Since it has been a few years since I last updated my systems I built 6 new ones ranging from Ryzen 7 2700x/B450, Ryzen 7/X470, Ryzen 5 3600X/B450, i5-9600K/Z370, i7-9700K/Z390 and i5-10600K/Z490 to see which was the best at encoding based on time and it was an interesting process with all 6 falling within a few minutes of each other encoding the same video. The Ryzen 7 2700X is middle of the pact but due to its lower overall cost makes a decent system for encoding video IMO.Read full review
