AMD - Ryzen 7 2700X Octa-Core 3.7 GHz Socket AM4 Desktop Processor with Wraith Prism LED Cooler
- Key Specs
- Processor Socket: Socket AM4 (Type of pin configuration that connects a CPU to a computer’s motherboard.)
- L3 Cache: 16MB (Cache memory, also called CPU memory, is random-access memory (RAM) that a computer microprocessor can access more quickly than it can access regular RAM.

- General
- Product Name: Ryzen 7 2700X Octa-Core 3.7 GHz Socket AM4 Desktop Processor with Wraith Prism LED Cooler
- Brand: AMD
- Model Number: YD270XBGAFBOX
- Compatibility
- Processor Socket: Socket AM4 (Type of pin configuration that connects a CPU to a computer’s motherboard.)
- Memory
- Cache Level: L3 (The cache stores data that the CPU needs to access quickly in order to complete tasks. Each level is ranked according to priority of access; Level 1 (L1) cache stores data that the CPU needs to access first. L1 cache is also the fastest but holds the least amount of data, with each following level decreasing in speed but increasing in capacity.)
- L3 Cache: 16MB (Cache memory, also called CPU memory, is random-access memory (RAM) that a computer microprocessor can access more quickly than it can access regular RAM. This memory is typically integrated directly with the CPU chip or placed on a separate chip that has a separate bus interconnect with the CPU.)

A: The Ryzen 5 2400G is more like the i7 8700, but presumably the motherboard you have is for the intel cpu chipsets and you would want to get a motherboard that is compatable with amd cpu chipsets like the MSI Pro Carbon X470 amd motherboard. But before you go out buying a board i would do some research and look up compatability, especially look at pros and cons such as intel cpu chipsets may have some features that amd chipsets dont, this is a pro con situation cause it goes both ways such as an amd cpu may have overclocking capabilities while intel may have higher clockspeeds pre-configured, but the newer amd chipsets have those clockspeed configurations unlocked so you can configure them to what you are comfortable with. The other thing to look at is pricing, amd cpu parts are very affordable, compared to intel, but intel cpu parts are very simplified, and are what lots of first time pc builders will go with, amd is for more of gamer enthusiast people. Weigh your options very carfully and Do Your Research First!
Q: Is it compatible with the ASRock A320M/ac?
A: Technically yes, but if you use them together the motherboard's CPU VRM (CPU voltage regulator module, i.e. the CPU power delivery system) will overheat under heavy CPU load. You will lose a large amount of the potential performance of the CPU because the motherboard cannot deliver enough power to it, and the motherboard may be damaged if the VRM runs too hot over a long period of time. I would not use a Ryzen 7 2700X on any motherboard with no VRM heatsink. The ASRock A320M and B450M Pro4, MSI B450M Pro VDH, and Gigabyte B450M S2H and DS3H are the cheapest motherboards that I would consider using with a Ryzen 7 2700X. Their VRMs are much larger than the ones on the A320M/ac (with 12 MOSFETs each instead of just 8), use more advanced components, and have heatsinks to keep them cool.
A: I would not put a 2700x in that motherboard. OWM motherboards tend to be as basic as you can get.
Q: Will my B350M Bazooka motherboard be okay for this processor?
A: Yes, it will work just fine. I would direct/advise a slight upgrade to the Tomahawk B450 because it has better VRM and VRM cooling. This will allow the processor to hit it's speeds better and more efficiently.
Q: Is this cpu worth getting over the i7 9700k?
A: Yes as far as multi tasking etc. You may see a slight advantage for an intel chipset in gaming environments, although this CPU is amazing for that as well and difference would be miniscule.
Q: Does this come with a heat sink?
A: Yes it does come with a heat sink. The wraith prism cooler is a all in one heat sink with air cooled properties. The factory cooling system is exceptional unless you want to overclock it then I recommend an aftermarket cooler.
