Q: I am the one who asked about the 2933 RAM, I am planning to use the Asus Tuf X470 plus gaming board< which has the socket and ability to take advantage of Ryzen 2, But it does not list DDR4 2933 as acceptable RAM. All Ryzen 1st gen just say "DDR4". Why would AMD only list 2933? And asus not? I am not questioning if it works now, but am I going to be missing features? Should I use 2933 with my Tuf board? Or use the 2400 I have already bought?

The RAM has to be compatible with both the motherboard and the CPU. The CPU can support a clock speed that the Motherboard, for whatever reason, does not.

Q: Is the only RAM it works with DDR4 2933? You cannot use DDR4 2400?

I am using a 2666 kit and have had no issues.

Q: Can I play GTA 5 with mods smoothly?

Although i have never played GTA5 I would have to say yes to what your asking as I play World of Warcraft with around 35 add ons and it doesn't slow down one bit heck I've even been playing WoW with 3 browsers open and it didn't slow any i hope this answers youe question and helps you decide on getting this CPU

Question 1

Does this CPU come with thermal paste?

Accepted Answer

Sort of:  This CPU comes with AMD's Wraith Spire cooler, which has pre-applied thermal compound on the surface that will contact the top of the CPU when installed.  It's not as good as a name-brand thermal paste like Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut for example but it gets the job done for normal usage.

Question 2

Yes i just got mine today put it in with stock cooler came with it and speccy is showing my cpu at 80celcius? anyone having this issues besides me or any info from amd why my cpu is at 80 stock temp just booting into windows 10?

Accepted Answer

Suggest you use the CPU temp data from the system initialization data.  Access this by a fresh start up and tap the DEL key or F2 key or ESCAPE key depending on your brand of motherboard.  This CPU was moved to the AMD business CPU section of the AMD desktop area under business CPUs.  A 65 W CPU usually will not heat up that much at all unless the owner pushes the settings from stock to a level that enhances the CPU speed and memory speed.  This CPU has enhanced broadband as a design feature which allows it to manage fast internet speeds and multiple programs active.

Question 3

Does this CPU have a sticker on top that needs to be peeled off before securing the cooler on top? I've already installed mine but this step was pointed out to me and I realized I may not have done it. Temperatures are great, honestly. I'm just worried about damaging the CPU.

Accepted Answer

Yes sticker needs removed immediately with it on there your contact with thermal paste is nonexistent. Good chance of overheating. Remove it clean up all old thermal paste and put on some arctic five.

Question 4

Does this processor use Integrated graphics?

Accepted Answer

No this version does not. you are looking for will clearly show Radeon GPU information on the box  similar AMD RYZEN 3 2200G Quad-Core 3.5 GHz (3.7 GHz Turbo) Socket AM4 65W YD2200C5FBBOX Desktop Processor

Question 5

What type of power supply would you recommend?

Accepted Answer

this power supply would work well: CORSAIR RMx Series RM850x CP-9020180-NA 850W ATX12V / EPS12V 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Power Supply

Question 6

will this work with a B350M BAZOOKA Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard?

Accepted Answer

Hello Bryce,

Thank you for contacting us in regards to your question.

It will be compatible hardware wise. However, you will need to update the BIOS of the AM4 motherboard as it is a B350 motherboard. Once the BIOS of the motherboard is updated, then you can use the 2700 with the B350 motherboard.

Thank you,
