2700x is very well-rounded
What I’ve always loved about Ryzen CPUs is their value compared to Intel. AMD is comparable to the 8700k (~$360), and some even consider it to be on par with the 9700k (~$420 on Amazon). Upgrading from a 1600 (on one computer) and 2600x (on another) is a breeze. Why? AM4 compatibility, which is something Intel decides not to do. Want to upgrade to Ryzen 2 (TBA at CES)? Just take off your cooler, take your current CPU out, and put this new one in WITHOUT the hassle of dropping another $190-$290 on a new motherboard. The 2700x even comes with a cooler, which the 9700k does not have, and a fine cooler at that. An aesthetically pleasing cooler and fully functional one that keeps one of my 2700x under 73C with Precision Boost 3 (which goes up to 5Ghz for me). My other 2700x is AIO water cooled, and can push out up to 6.5Ghz (on all cores) with Precision Boost 2 at 70C-80C.This CPU at idle gives out 2% usage, which I took for granted until I looked at an i5 8400(?) which idled at 20%. Also, Ryzen Master, beautiful work of art. Instead of restarting my computer a million times to get a stable clock, I can just go into Ryzen Master, increase core clocks until it crashes, then raise the voltage and find a stable clock speed. Or you can leave it to Precision Boost 2, but I like to run my CPU at 4.2 Base with Precision Boost 2 enabled.If you’re doing a mid-tier budget build for all-purpose, I really suggest this CPU, as it can do everything equally well, as it is more around daily tasks than Intel’s gaming tasks. I love this CPU so much, that I’ve fitted it in all four of the computers in the house with no complaints on gaming or such from others.Edit:Added photos of stock 2700x cooler. Fan colour changes and the ring around the fan has an RGB wave pattern. It can maintain a semi-idle 2700x at 35C-45C. Also uploaded some photos of it. Havenât touched the software though and I personally donât plan to.Edit 2: Just got my 9900k, and it was a massive disappointment compared to this $310 Ryzen beast. In CS:GO, a CPU intensive game, it only ran 20FPS faster, which literally doesnât matter since most monitors canât go over 240HZ (2700x had 275 avg; 9900k has 300; but these CPUs max out at 500 in certain scenarios). My 9900k was even clocked at 5.3Ghz and costs $530, so compared to this Ryzen 2700x, it really isnât worth it unless you want to show it off or do Adobe stuff which is optimised for Intel. But because I overclocked, my temps were 30C idle and up to 90C during gaming. On the 2700x, it never broke 60C, with the same cooler and fans.Pros-cost effective-comes with a decent stock cooler-easy overclock (if you like that sort of thing)-easy to upgrade from Zen 1 or upgrade to Ryzen 2-cheaper motherboards that can easily overclockCons-not the best single-core performance, but what do you expect for $310 compared to Intel’s $380 CPU-not the best variety of motherboards (which isn’t a 2700x problem, but just general)-I can’t think of anything else

Good cpu
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 betterNice 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.

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 prendÃa 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.Sà 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 asÃ. Investigaré sobre la garantÃa con fabricante pero no tengo grandes esperanzas, además de que tendrÃa 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 garantÃas.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 dÃas después de enviado me confirma que enviarÃa 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 envÃo DHL a mi dirección con la siguiente descripción: SAMPLE / WRAITH PRISM COOLER(SR4)No pensé que AMD hiciera RMAs avanzados (te envÃan 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 dÃas.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.

What a processor !!! Just loved it. It’s been 6 months, I made my home PC with AMD Ryzen 7 2700X purchased through Amazon. I feel like I am using a server, not a home PC. I LOVE it’s Power. I run 3 – 4 VM windows machine on top of it, do lots of R&D, make flowless graphics editing. Loved it’s overclocking. But ofcourse not only the processor, I am using all other great components like M.2 NVRAM SSD, C15 memory etc… I am not a gamer, so can’t talk about that segment, but ofcourse CPU fan light is very attractive though it does not make any difference to me but my family and kids loved that. Initially I was worried about its power consumptuon, but I found it does not take much power with low processing load, once we increase the load, it takes more wattage. CPU fan is very quite during low processing, as I increase the processing load, Fan moves faster hence create some noice, but thats accaptable, atleast much lower noice than a server. Base Win10 takes around 60 watt, as I power on each VM, 10 – 12 watt increases. Base Win 10 with some graphics processing takes around 75 to 80 watt. During Extreme processing, it takes 100 watt or more

This is a great CPU. It offers excellent performance in gaming, productivity, multitasking, and anything else you would like to accomplish. Regarding gaming, this CPU will offer a bit less framerates than the i7 8700K and i9 9900K from Intel, but only when gaming at 1080P. Once you step up to 1440P, 1440P ultra wide, or 4K, these three CPUs will offer the same performance. Some people will say or do whatever possible to discredit AMD, and attempt to dissuade potential buyers from recognizing the value and performance that the Ryzen 2 CPUs offer. There is a deliberate agenda happening to try and stop people from buying any of the Ryzen 2 CPUs. The reality here is, people have now clued in to what AMD has done. These shills can’t stop the momentum, and the continuing increase of market share that AMD is gaining. This constant claim that Intel is the “only real option if you want to game” is a complete lie. If you game at 1080P, the R7 2700X will be maybe 10 percent slower. If you could get 100 frames at 1080P with your current video card paired with the i7 8700K, this means you will achieve about 90 frames with the R7 2700X with the same video card at the same 1080P resolution. If you game at 1440P and beyond, the R7 2700X will give the same performance as Intel. The lies need to stop.AMD is a great option now in 2018, and people should be thanking them. If it was not for AMD, all PC gamers would still be getting a yearly 4 core, 4 thread i5 CPU and a 4 core, 8 thread i7 CPU from Intel. It was AMD that forced Intel to finally stop their nonsense and offer more cores and threads. The problem now is that Intel feels they can charge almost double the money for the i9 9900K when compared to the R7 2700X, yet while providing only a small performance increase. This is completely ridiculous.You can’t beat the R7 2700X for the price. The multithreaded performance on this CPU is fantastic. Everything is quick and snappy. The chip never hesitates, and never struggles to handle many tasks at once. Yes, the i9 9900K is a bit faster in various tasks, but it also costs 280 dollars more. The i9 9900K also runs incredibly hot, and does not come with a cooler. This means that you are looking at spending another 70-100 to buy a quality cooler to put on the CPU, so now you are looking at a price difference of at least 350 bucks. The stock cooler with the R7 2700X does a decent job, as long as you are not going crazy with overclocking. I would highly suggest removing the stock thermal pad that comes on the heatsink though and replacing it with Arctic MX-4 or Noctua NT-H1 thermal paste. This will give you around a 5 degree decrease in temps when compared to the stock paste, so is well worth the extra 10 bucks cost to buy a tube with your CPU.Regarding overclocking, this should also be mentioned. In my opinion, there is no need to overclock this CPU at all. The Precision Boost 2 and XFR 2 that the CPU takes advantage of will automatically overclock your CPU based upon temps. If you have proper cooling in your case, you will notice that the R7 2700X will boost up on various cores to 4.3-4.35GHz. You honestly will not need to attempt to do anything else beyond this. Just let the CPU do its job, and it will handle its own boosting just fine on its own. You will notice when you game on this CPU that you will have much higher minimum framerates in games compared to whatever CPU you are upgrading from. For instance, if you upgrade from an i5 4690K, you will discover a solid 20 frame increase in minimum framerates in many games. This results in a much smoother and enjoyable gaming experience.The value for the money with this CPU is miles ahead of Intel. Just think about that for a second. For the price of an i9 9900K, you can buy an R7 2700X, and also buy a top quality X470 motherboard such as the Asrock X470 Taichi. This is a no brainer buy if you are looking for a high performance CPU. I highly recommend it.

Provengo da un Intel i5-6600K e da quando uso computer, ovvero da quasi 20 anni, sono sempre rimasto fedele ad Intel, in quanto garanzia di maggior qualità e consideravo le CPU AMD, anche se buone in termini di prestazioni e prezzo, non all’altezza della concorrenza soprattutto per problemi incompatibilità software (dovuto spesso ai famigerati chipset VIA, spesso utlizzati nelle schede madri per CPU AMD). Però negli ultimi mesi vedendo l’esagerato rincaro dei prezzi delle CPU Intel, leggendo le buone recensioni e opinioni da parte di moltissimi utenti, nonché consultando diversi test prestazionali, ho avuto tutti gli elementi necessari per rivalutare questo produttore. Quindi ho deciso di acquistare un Ryzen 2700x. Non sono un videogiocatore e quindi il cosiddetto vantaggio che Intel ha sul singolo core rispetto AMD (soprattutto utile in ambito videogames, poiché raramente si vanno da usare oltre 4 cores) non m’interessa. I principali utilizzi che ne faccio computer sono la grafica 3D e la virtualizzazione: due ambiti dove meglio si sfruttano le CPUs con tanti cores.Quindi trovo questa CPU molto valida, un abbisso in confronto all’i5 che avevo poc’anzi (solo 4 cores e per giunta senza HT).L’unico disappunto, se così possiamo chiamarlo, è stato il dissapatore stock venduto con la CPU, ovvero il Wraith Prism RGB. Dai stress test effettuati, considerando che deve dissipare una CPU con 105 W di TDP, fa un egregio lavoro (almeno a confronti dei dissipatori stock forniti da Intel per le sue CPUs), tenendo temperature che non vanno oltre i 69-70°C in media (anche se per 1 min ha raggiunto i 75°C). Però con la sua ventola che va oltre i 3600 rpm è davvero rumoroso, almeno secondo il mio udito: quando la ventola gira sotto i 500-600 rpm è silenzioso, ma oltre sembra quasi un piccolo aspirapolvere. Quindi l’ho sostituito con un dissipatore della Noctua, il NH-U12S, che oltre a raffreddarmi maggiormente la CPU (sotto stress test dopo oltre 40 minuti, la temperatura non è mai salita oltre i 64°C) e veramente silenzioso (con velocità della ventola sui 1250 rpm sotto stress test). Tali test sono stati effettuati con impostazioni stock e senza effettuare overclock manuali.Edit: L’ho abbinato a scheda madre MSI X470 Gaming Pro e 64 GB di RAM Corsair Vengeance LPX da 3000 Mhz e non ho avuto alcun problema di incompatibilità : ho attivo l’XMP (in quanto appena installate il BIOS vedeva le RAM alla frequenza 2133 Mhz) e ho elevato la frequenza della memorie a 2800 Mhz (non sono salito sino a 3000 in quanto ho letto in giro che ci potrebbero essere problemi di stabilità se non si alza anche il voltaggio).
