In the description of Digitec it says that the Ryzen 7 2700X belongs to the 2nd gen, on the AMD website it is shown under the Ryzen 7 2700X that the "AMD Wraith Prism" cooler with RGB is included - but if you look at the cooler specs it says on the AMD website that this cooler is included with all Ryzen 7 of the 3rd gen.

So is this item 2nd or 3rd gen? Does it come with the "AMD Wraith Prism" cooler or another one?

Accepted Answer

The 2700x is second gen, i.e. Zen+ (not to be confused with Zen 2, which is the architecture of the 3000 or third gen).

The 2700x comes with Prism, you can also check it here: https://www.amd.com/de/technologies/cpu-cooler-solution
With the 2700 it is only the Spire, in my opinion too little for Zen+ on 8 cores. The Prism is better, but with PBO switched on, it is also at the limit, because Zen+ produces significantly more heat than Zen 2. If you really buy a 2700(x), I would recommend an aftermarket cooler.
