Question 1

Does the Heatsink come with pre-applied thermal paste?

Accepted Answer

confirmed. thermal paste is applied, however I would recommend a bit better application than stock amd. e.g, oil change after you pick up your new car straight off the dealership lot.

Question 2

Is this a significant upgrade from the regular Ryzen 7 2700X?

Accepted Answer

This is no different than the Regular 2700x. Its just autographed and has AMD50 printed on the IHS. If all you want is a 2700x then you should get the normal version.

Question 3

is it true that these chips have not been binned? and if no, why not?

Accepted Answer

From reviews around the web such as by GamersNexu; no these are not binned chips by any means, simply collectors edition more or less. If you could care less about Lisa Su's Signature, and the free t-shirt, then I strongly suggest the standard 2700x for sometimes a lot cheaper.

Question 7

When I saw the product description at 4/29 Monday 9AM EST, a sentence similar to "Buyers of the product will be entered into a free prize draw to win an AMD Matisse processor, coming out later this year." was present. Anandtech found it and mentioned it in its AMD 50 introduction article. At 4/30 Tuesday 3AM EST, the sentence has been just removed from this product page and the comment in Anandtech webpage has been striked-out (cancelled by center line). What is Newegg doing?

Accepted Answer

Damn Corporate-Illuminati-Barons they're taking over... "ya hear"

Naah jk... they are probably trying to keep stuff from being hinted out early... and/or Keep people spam buying the AMD50 R7 before stuff is set in concrete
