AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (Tray / OEM) — High-performance 8-core desktop CPU
The AMD Ryzen 7 2700X is a 2nd-generation (Pinnacle Ridge) AM4 desktop processor delivering strong multi-threaded performance for gaming, streaming, and content creation. This listing is a tray/OEM unit (TRAY-P) supplied without the retail Wraith Prism cooler — a protective clamshell or tray is required for shipping. Ideal for system builders and OEM integrators who provide their own cooling and packaging.
Key highlights:
- 8 cores / 16 threads for heavy multi-threaded workloads and multitasking
- 3.7 GHz base clock with Precision Boost up to 4.3 GHz (some listings/conditions report peaks up to ~4.35 GHz)
- 20 MB combined L2+L3 cache to reduce latency and speed up cache-sensitive tasks
- 105 W TDP for sustained desktop performance; unlocked for overclocking
- AM4 socket compatibility (300-, 400- and many 500-series motherboards with appropriate BIOS updates)
Important notes:
- This is a TRAY/OEM CPU: no retail cooler is included. Retail boxed SKUs include the Wraith Prism cooler; tray listings are CPU-only.
- Confirm motherboard BIOS compatibility before installation — many older 300-series boards require a BIOS update to fully support 2nd-gen Ryzen CPUs.
- Memory and PCIe performance depend on motherboard platform and configuration. Check your motherboard QVL for tested DDR4 speeds.
Recommended for:
- Enthusiast gaming systems where GPU and multi-core CPU performance are required
- Content creators and video editors leveraging multi-threaded workloads
- System builders and OEMs who prefer to supply custom cooling solutions
