    I just replaced an old i7 3770 with this beast. Even without overclocking it is an ultra upgrade from my previous built. Not sure if I wouyld have waited for the 3rd gen but I am so happy with the relation between cost/performance/capabilities of this processor. It's been a long time since I built a pc with an AMD processor (Athlon I believe) and this is a very powerful mainstream desktop for me.

    Great value for the money. In gaming, same performance as the 2700x, for $100 less. Easier to setup higher quality streams than with any current gen (coffee lake at this time) Intel i5. If you heavily multi-task, render, or stream a lot (rather than once in awhile), I would recommend the 2700x over it

    A great upgrade from the Ryzen 5 1600

    I decided to upgrade from a Ryzen 5 1600 and this performs so much better. It has an auto "boost" feature that enables the speed of the CPU to go between 3.6-4.1Ghz which can be monitored through Ryzen Master. Definitely saw improvements in games and video editing. The included cooler works great as well! Keeps the CPU between 40-45 on idle and below 60 on load.

    Works like a charm, put into a server and the extra cores help. AMD has really stepped up their game.

    Works great and has a decent stock fan. Bought mine on sale for $189.99, so shop around or have Best Buy price match. Works well with my Asrock 350B Pro4 which has 2 NVME slots if you are looking for that and something price friendly.
