Ryzen 5 2600X Processor with Wraith Spire Cooler - YD260XBCAFBOX

tres bon produit je recommande

I have always bought AMD cpu's, they always delivered a good value and were the underdog. If nobody supported AMD or bought their chips, intel CPUS would be far more expensive. Ryzen is the first time in a while AMD has been competitive with Intel in terms of performance, not just price/value. Ryzen uses an all new architecture and requires an AM4 motherboard. It has things like artificial intelligence built into it and automatic overclocking in addition to boost. Reading about it versus using it, you would expect a far more advance CPU. When you go into further details, the AI is fairly rudimentary but nonetheless its a very cool feature. And it will probably get better overtime. I haven't tried it yet but amd also offers a software called StoreMI that automatically manage your hard drive and SSD, basically combining them together. The CPU was a little hard to install and the instructions were not clear as it had instructions for several types of CPUS. You literally have to screw the CPU fan onto the motherboard, it was pretty annoying. I was tempted to give it less stars because of this. Supposedly AMD coolers are much better now so you don't need an afterstock, based on this I didn't buy an afterstock. It works well and it's very quiet. I notice the cpu stays fairly cool also even after playing games. The heatsink/fan has sticky thermal paste on the bottom but if you have to re-attach which is not unlikely given how hard it is to install you should probably buy thermal paste. Thermal paste will also keep the cpu cooler by a few degrees. On the older version of windows 10, the CPU was blazing fast. But unfortunately I had to update windows for my graphics drivers so its a little slower. Although that's not the fault of AMD. Also probably because of Microsoft you can't use windows 7 with Ryzen out of the box. You have to pre-install special usb drivers in your windows 7 installation disk or usb. Windows 10 is the latest but all the other hardware I bought still supports windows 7 and you should be able to easily use both. So that's something to keep in mind. I've played a few newer games and everything works fine. The cpu is very smooth, its fast and I can run a bunch of things at the same time, even play intensive games and have stuff running in the background. I did tests with passmark and this CPU ranks in the 92 percentile of all Cpus. It also surpasses the I7 -6700k which is 150 dollars more. On math test and encryption test, 2600x ranks near the top 99 percentile. I included pictures. I would say for the price there is no better CPU and not only for the price, this thing is great and can run anything without a problem. I anticipate it will stay relevant for some time and be able to run the latest software and games for several years. This is the second gen or 'zen plus' line, there is slightly faster equivalent of zen 3, ryzen 3600x. But that's nearly 100 dollars more and only for 5-10 percent improve. Your better off going with this and now they've made some improvements and worked out the kinks over ryzen generation 1. So I give it a rare 5 out of 5 stars.

I bought one of these processors in 2019 and installed it in a new computer I'd just built and it's been an absolute dream. It's almost near the end of October 2024 and it's still doing great. I use the computer for everything including online gaming and it handles everything without a hitch and when coupled with a decent mid-range graphics card you can play most games. Of course they are improving things all of the time but to be honest, I see no need to change the processor or graphics card as they still do all I ask of them.

Built a relatively (750$..excluding GPU obviously:) ) cheap PC for duties as a plex server and occasional gaming. This CPU is a beast. I mainly needed the power for transcoding films on the fly for remote plex users. This does not disappoint. It can EASILY transcode 4-6 1080p streams down to 4mbps 720p without issue(I know, not great - but im limited by my upload speed) - it can even transcode down a 45gb 4K movie to 20mbps 1080p(that eats up power for other users - so I avoid it). When less people are watching it is always throttled (met the max buffer and goes idle until more video needs to be converted). This also handles multi-tasking 1000x better than any Intel CPU out now. While gaming you can easily switch to Edge or other apps without your computer croaking. Pair it with 32gb of DDR4 ram and you are in Passmark's 96th percentile in terms of PC benchmarks. I have this paired with a relatively old GTX960 OC 4GB but it will more than handle something more recent. AMD has made huge strides in their CPU technology. While they are not as optimized for gaming (Intel always wins the FPS battle) the price, features, related hardware and overall performance are on par for significantly less money overall.

I have been using Core i7 for like 10 years. Motherboard's south bridge chipset got burnt and I had to buy a complete new PC. After reading tons of reviews for a decent gaming processor, I drilled down to this baby. Its been a week and it runs everything that I throw at it. There are so many motherboards available for this, but I went with Asus Prime X470 Pro. A decent second gen Mobo for X series Unlocked Ryzen Processors. Pros : Stock Cooler was quite and temperatures were in range from 53 to 75. But I went with Corsair H100i V2 Liquid Cooler and now my temps remain in 34-50 range. Auto Boost is available and enuff space to Overclock. Since this is the X version, it supports DDR4 speeds upto 3400ish. Cons : AMD could have given the RGB Cooler with this CPU since this is the flagship at Ryzen 5 Level. Final verdict : If you are looking for a decent gaming processor then this one is a beast. Save some money from buying i7 8700k or 2700x and buy a good liquid cooler to pair with this baby
