Power, Versatility & Value!

The Ryzen 2700X is a remarkable CPU. It runs well at 3.7 ghz but automatically over clocks to handle bigger jobs well called on - in my case at roughly 4.1 ghz wit ease and no instability. The attached Prism heat sink is also huge but very quiet and provides excellent cooling; in the two days I've had it it covered around 35 to 45 degrees under average load in a Cougar mid tower case with a front and rear fan. Price-wise it's still a wee bit high, but still cheaper than the closest Intel offering and genuinely worth it if you want to build a solid rig around, it without breaking the bank - look for it to go down somewhat when the 3000 series is released later in 2019. That said AMD has done a great job on this CPU and I'm very happy I chose this over an Intel chip!
