AMD Ryzen 5 2400G Processor with Radeon RX Vega 11 Graphics - YD2400C5FBBOX

I used this processor for a small mATX build to drive a 4K tv for both movies and some light gaming and I've been extremely happy with the results. The CPU portion of the chip is a fantastic value on its own, comparable to a Ryzen 1500X and it's performing very well. The graphics side has just blown me away though, I've been able to play multiple games in 4K (on medium-low settings granted) with decent framerates and no noticeable stuttering), so far the only two I've tried are World of Warships and Battlefleet Gothic: Armada but I've been exceedingly happy with it, I never would've believed just how capable this thing is without seeing it for myself and with current graphics card prices this thing has been a lifesaver. I liked it so much I decided to build a second one for my brother and a 2200 version for my dad. All 3 chips have been fantastic, the only things I would note is that the graphics will perform significantly better with high speed/multiple sticks of DDR4, and that if you're planning to use one of these for a HTPC or other quiet build the stock cooler isn't very loud, but if you have a fairly open case it is audible, especially if you don't have something like a HDD making noise to cover it up. It isn't loud by any means, but it's something to consider when choosing a case and people trying to build a fully silent pc may need to look at other coolers.

This cpu works as intended. Not sure I can say much more about it other than... don't worry about overclocking the cpu cores so much. Worry more about running a high speed memory profile. So, e.g. the BIOS will typically boot the DDR at 2133 stock, but if you purchase high speed memory such as 2933 or 3300 or something like that you can enable the higher speed in the BIOS and that will get you probably 90% of the performance boost right there (vs also overclocking the cpu core), while burning around the same amount of power as on a non-overclocked system. It's really the best way to go for this cpu. The GPU is particularly sensitive to memory performance since it is limited by system memory bandwidth. So focusing on buying high-speed memory (e.g. in the 2966-3300 range) gives you much more bang for your buck. I've been able to test this with a few games, but not being a heavy gamer all I really had was WoW and GW, neither of which need high-end GPUs. With dual 4K monitors I found that the GPU works amazing well at 2560x1440, giving me a solid 30-60fps (remember this is an iGPU), smooth and very play-friendly at high settings. At 4K resolution I get 15-30 fps or so but it isn't smooth and there is noticeable input lag. Not unexpected since even high-end GPUs have problems at 4K. Desktop works great at 4K, of course. I'm very happy with this cpu. I have it in a mini-itx case and mobo with a Noctua air cooler/fan and its dead silent and cool enough that I don't even need to connect up the case fan (cpu fan, yes, case fan, no). -Matt

I would personally go with Ryzen 3 2200g or Ryzen 7 1700x. Great processor but for $5 more I’d buy the Ryzen 1700x. If you don’t have a graphics card then instead of using built in graphics, buy a Athlon 200ge (overclock to 4Ghz) and pair with a used rx 580 or gtx 1060. I’ve built many systems (a couple Athlon based) and Athlon 200ge for $50 even (at time of posting) seems to be best deal for low/mid-low GPU’s. I built a $350 budget system with a used 8gb rx 580 for $120 and averaged 70fps on beautiful settings (with 1080p) on rust. If you plan on later pairing a better gpu then a 1060 or 580 in this system then go with Ryzen 3 2200g and use Vega 8 in 720p until you can afford a rtx 2060 or Vega 56. I did this for awhile and gaming was great on Ryzen 3. Easily overclockable both gpu and cpu. If you want the most from Ryzen 3 Vega 8 then don’t overclock cpu (to conserve heat) then overclock gpu clock to 1,600Mhz or higher if u can! I would get 60+ FPS on mid/high settings with 720p on apex ledgends with Vega 8 overclocked to 1,650Mhz. The ryzen 5 cpu doesn’t have a place in my heart sadly. It performs good and I’m sure has an application. But for gaming I’d go with 2nd gen ryzen 3 or 1st gen ryzen 7 (currently $155 on Amazon). Posting this as of 2/26/19. When zen releases or ryzen 5 2400g price dips below $150 then my opinion could very well change.

My initial experience with the AMD Ryzen series chip was not a good one. I had purchased my first Ryzen processor (Ryzen 3 2200) and began the process of building a new PC using the Asrock AB350M Pro 4 motherboard and 8GB of GSkill Ripjaws DDR4 RAM. I wasn't building a gaming PC, but needed a solid work station with decent on board graphics. I had RAM compatibility issues (the GSkill RAM I used was listed as compatible on the PC part picker website, but like many RAM modules that do work it was not listed on the support page for the board on the Asrock website). That was not the fault of the processor. What was frustrating to learn about this processor is that there was not much information available about it not being Windows 7 compatible. The Ryzen series processor is ONLY Windows 10 compatible (didn't try it with Linux) and through much frustration and trial and error, it is ONLY version 1809 compatible. My evil plan was to use the Ryzen processor, install Windows 7 and then upgrade to Windows 10. (version 1507 is the upgrade if memory serves). This created a miserable situation that has frustrated many people I've talked to. The result was watch dog errors, freezing and restarts. Stability for a very short time while using the Microsoft basic graphics driver. The AMD Vega graphics drivers would immediately crash. The system was to unstable to allow Windows update to install the latest version of Windows 10. Now that I have gotten past the Ryzen 3 build, and have ordered and built the Ryzen 5 2400G system using the same Asrock AB350M Pro 4 board, Silicon Power 256GB SSD, Asrock supported 16GB of GSkill Flash X RAM, and started with the latest version of Windows 10 (1809 at the time of writing), the system is smooth, fast and stable. I had to turn off the hardware acceleration in Google Chrome as I was getting green tinting and imaging while watching videos on line. That fixed that problem. But other than that, this build is giving me strong performance and stability so far.

i have yet to play rust on this apu but i will update it when i do , i have played garrys mod and it only hit a peak of 50% of my gpu apu , so if your only playing half life 2 or what not then you will not need a video card saving you around 200$ because you would need to buy a gtx 1660 but then you could run any game and every game, but i dont want to play every game i only want to play gmod and maybe rust , but now now rust may need a gtx 1660 but i do not know yet , i am still downloading the game lol, will update after a few more test , this cpu does save money on your build only if you like to play older games , if you want to play the newest games and win your stuck buying that gtx 1660 video card and that i7 with the liquid coolers, well maybe not , i will try to update this as i test it more on games like rust , works great on garrys mod. , okay i just tryed it on rust and it stays maxed out at 100% so it is maybe not so good for playing rust , but it did play it so maybe it will work. i will test it out on rust more soon and be back with info

Got this for my new media PC, with a mini ITX board. Good value for the $$. The Stealth cooler is compact, which was critical for my build. I did have to remove the very outer fan ring, with the AMD label, to clear the memory. Very thankful that AMD allowed for that in the design or I would have been in trouble. CPU runs greats. Plenty fast for my media PC. Installed easily, but do wish the AMD CPU design would allow for an outer locking ring to clamp over the upper edge of the CPU from the board socket. Something similar to Intel's mounting design would be a wise change. I had issues with my Ryzen 1600X cooler sticking to the CPU, in another PC, and it being a nightmare to remove without damaging the CPU. My Ryzen CPU ended up actually pulling out of the socket with the cooler "glued" by the thermo paste to the CPU. Luckily I did not damage any pins. I'll still buy AMD, as they offer, by far, the best bang for the $.

This is a great APU to have. Initially, I was having some problems getting it working with my Mobo, but that was a BIOS update fix. RMA-ed the ROG Strix X370-F Gaming Mobo to Asus for bios update after a phone diagnosis with Asus texh support. But then when my Mobo returned, it still wasn't working in dual channel memory. It would work with memory in single channel mode though. I happened to have the Ryzen 3 2200G APU in it's box at my disposal. Swapped the Ryzen 5 with the 3 on the same Mobo and it worked in dual channel. I carefully inspected the pins on the Ryzen 5, all pins were perfect. I swapped the Ryzen 5 back into the board, just to make sure, and it did Not work with dual channel memory yet again. Put the Ryzen 3 back in once more to reverify, and it worked with dual channel memory. Exchanged the Ryzen 5 2400G through Amazon, and when the new 5 was installed, it did work with dual channel memory. So I did end up receiving initially, a faulty Ryzen 5 APU. But after gaming with it for a few months now, I am happy to put the 5 Stars up with this unit. Paired with 16 Gigs G-Skill Trident RGB ram- 3200 MHz, it plays Fortnite on high settings and plays between 35-50 FPS, usually stays around 40-45FPS, which aren't the highest numbers, but the game is absolutely playable. I recommend this APU.

I got my Ryzen 5 2400G on Amazon to take advantage of the 30-day Free Trial. Although there was a lower price on this APU the week previous to my purchase, I still considered the $149.72 I paid to be perfectly acceptable. I decided to get the Ryzen 2400G in case AMD GPUs weren't available at budget prices (I read about how the "Bitcoin/Etherium mining" craze put even normally reasonable RX graphics cards well above MSRP). It turns out that prices had fallen back to normal, so I later purchased an 8GB Polaris card a couple of weeks after getting the Ryzen APU. I'm purchasing all the components to have an "all AMD" PC built. Most of the laptops I've purchased over the years were HP branded with AMD "Athlon" APUs and were very sturdy and reliable. I skipped the FX processors as I researched what kind of components I wanted for my first-ever, none-OEM PC. I knew I wanted a Ryzen CPU and Polaris GPU to start with, and the Ryzen 2400G on Amazon came at both the right time & the right price. Once I got it, it was "off to the races." Hopefully, I'll soon have all my components together as a PC that I've always wanted & that I'll be able to upgrade as time goes along.

En mi caso, lo quería para una build de desarrollo en Linux, sin intenciones de jugar, pero con potencia gráfica suficiente como para mover gráficos 3D y vídeo a 4K (30 FPS), y cumple perfectamente. Ubuntu 18.04 no tiene problemas con respecto a la aceleración gráfica, pero sí que los tiene a la hora de obtener la temperatura del procesador. Para poder obtenerla, sí que son necesarios los drivers propietarios de AMD y aunque éstos se instalan sin problemas, no los recomiendo, puesto que van peor que los que instala Ubuntu. Muy contento con el procesador, la verdad. En cuanto a Amazon, bueno, primero encargué un Ryzen 3 que pareció entrar en un agujero entre dimensiones y desapareció. Después, viendo que no venía y que el procesador era la última pieza que me quedaba para la build, compré este Ryzen 5. Me llegó, sí, pero con la caja aplastada, abierta y con trozos de plástico de envolver metidos entre las aspas del disipador y pegados en el compuesto térmico que trae preaplicado. Me llevó unas dos horas arreglar el desaguisado y usar mis propios compuestos químicos. No lo devolví porque realmente lo necesitaba, más aún tras el retraso del primer procesador que encargué. Un procesador genial, una experiencia con Amazon horrible.

Ho già assemblato 2 PC con questa CPU. Ho aspettato un paio di mesi prima di esprimermi. Volevo Essere sicuro che le sensazioni divenissero certezze. E’ stato così per moltissime delle percezioni avute, con qualche tentennamento dovuto probabilmente al controller di memoria o alle schede madri usate. AMD ritorna quindi in grande stile proponendo una seconda versione di un’architettura che ha dato un incremento di circa il 45% (e più) alla precedente versione di CPU (gli FX) a prezzi molto concorrenziali. I concetti sono rimasti invariati, i thread sono sempre 8 per questa versione rispetto agli FX di punta, ma ci troviamo di fronte ad un affinamento nei consumi (65W per una APU di questa potenza) e ad una architettura fatta da 4 core e SMT (Multi Threading Simultaneo). Parliamo di prestazioni: messo a confronto, riesce a sprigionare potenza a sufficienza per farci di TUTTO (sia in piccoli uffici, sia a casa o per divertimento). E’ al livello di Intel Core i5-7400, supera il core i5-3470 di un 10% complessivo. NOTA: in multithread spinto i suddetti processori Intel soccombono con prestazioni pari a metà del Ryzen. In situazione a 4 core o meno sono più o meno alla pari. Se poi si vanno a spulciare i listini allora è lì che ci rendiamo conto che l’affare è fatto! Il rapporto qualità prezzo per una CPU che “fa tutto” è a favore di AMD. Se prendiamo la stessa fascia di prezzo dei 150€, Intel propone nuovi Coffee Lake i3-8xxx che somigliano agli i5 della Settima generazione, ma non brillano in multithread (8 contro 4): intel per cercare di compensare (senza riuscirci) ha aumentato la frequenza (ed i consumi). Core i3-8300 supera in quad core il Ryzen 5 2400g (per via della frequenza) ma ha il 45% di prestazioni in meno. Fatevi voi un’idea a seconda delle vostre esigenze. Riassumendo, le architetture danno un IPC (Istruzione per Ciclo di clock) molto simile (Intel rispetto alla prima generazione di Ryzen era avanti di massimo il 10%). Confrontando il 2400G con la passata generazione possiamo asserire che il suo rivale è il Ryzen 5 1500X (nonostante quest’ultimo ha una cache maggiore). Parlando del fiore all’occhiello di questa APU va menzionata la Vega11 (con i suoi 704 motori di elaborazione, con l’ultima architettura di AMD di fascia alta). Praticamente ha capacità simili ad una Radeon HD7770 (GHz edition). Nella pratica invece le nuove tecnologie danno uno sprint in più al suddetto acceleratore grafico. Se confrontiamo questa GPU con quelle integrate fornite da Intel nelle sue CPU, AMD vince 3-0 a tavolino. Giochi come Batman Arkham Knight, Mad Max, Tomb Raider (2013) girano bene (con dettagli che spaziano dal minimo al massimo). AMD dichiara di poter giocare con questa APU a giochi tripla A tutto al minimo. Sì, effettivamente ce la fa! Altro vantaggio di questa CPU è il SMT, tramite il quale riesce a processare 8 thread contemporaneamente, velocizzando molte attività programmate a thread. Praticamente un i7 di qualche generazione fa (i7-4790 o i7-6700 per esempio). Ora parliamo della presunta NOTA DOLENTE: ho installato le 2 CPU acquistate su una Asrock B450M-HDV (Memorie Patriot Viper XMP a 3000MHz certificate) e una Gigabyte B450M-D3SH (Memorie HyperX Predator a 3200). Nel primo caso non sono potuto andare oltre 2866MHz e timings da profilo XMP, nel secondo mi sono fermato a 3000MHz con un profilo conservativo XPM. La CPU potrebbe essere la causa? Non lo so. So solo che non mi è mai capitata una situazione del genere in anni che assemblo PC per diletto e NON. Ad ogni modo le prestazioni non ne risentono tantissimo. Concludendo: la CPU è da consigliare a coloro che vogliono un sistema scattante (SSD/M.2 permettendo) e a chi non ha possibilità di comprare una scheda grafica (con i prezzi altissimi degli ultimi 2 anni). Le prestazioni sono adeguate a fare di tutto ad un prezzo finalmente umano. La concorrenza a parità di spesa offre prestazioni simili: superiori di poco fino a 4 core, inferiori di molto in Multithtreading. AMD ha portato vantaggi a noi acquirenti abbassando i prezzi. Per chi ha una scheda video ancora valida è bene rivolgersi ad un Ryzen 5 1500X oppure un Ryzen 5 1600X (o 2600) sulla fascia di prezzo di questo 2400G. PS: il dissipatore è quello in foto. La APU non scalda quasi mai, ma sempre con temperature che per chi ha avuto gli FX sono freschissime.

Awesome little APU. I had this APU as my daily driver for almost a decade. Took to over clocking very well, had it running stable at 4.0Ghz. Temps got a little crazy some times but still very satisfied with this old APU.

le pc fonctionne parfaitement avec 8gb de ram il peut même faire tourner quelque jeux avec des réglages au plus bas

Mein altes System ist in die Jahre gekommen und es muste was neues her. Ich wollte einen schlanken aber dennoch leitungsstarken PC zu einem vernüftigen Preis und diese neue CPU (APU) von AMD schien mir da genau perfekt ... ----------- APU, was ist das? ----------- Bei den AMD Ryzen APUs handelt es sich um CPUs mit integriertem Grafikprozessor (also GPU). Solche Konstellationen werden als APU (Advanced processing units) bezeichnet. ----------- Integrierte Grafikkarte? ----------- Viele kennen das sicher noch von früher, Intels IGP. Damals gerade so für den Office Einsatz zu gebrauchen und seither kaum nennenswert weiterentwicklelt, zumindest im Consumer Bereich. Highend Grafikkarten dominieren heute ganz Klar den Markt und gerade Computerspiele verlangen immer mehr Leistung - bisher undenkbar soetwas mit einem integrieten Grafikchip zu schaffen. Doch die integrierten Systeme (1-Chip Systeme > SoC) haben sich massiv weiterentwickelt, Nintendos neueste Konsole, die Switch, zeigt eindrucksvoll wozu selbst kleinste mobile Hardware fähig ist. AMD hat nun den nächsten Schritt gemacht und bringt diese Leistung auf Desktop PCs mit erstaunlichem Ergebniss! Wichtig zu wissen ist dabei, dass diese integrierten Grafikchips natürlich keinen eigenen Speicher besitzt sondern auf den System RAM Zurückgreifen. Hier sollte man daher eine ausreichende Menge zur Verfügung stellen und auch auf die Geschwindigkeit achten um maximale Leistung zu bekommen. ----------- Erster Eindruck und Einbau ----------- Der Ryzen 5 2400G, das derzeitige "Topmodell" der Ryzen APUs, kommt in einer schlichten aber eleganzen Box. Ein Sichtfenster gibt den Blick auf die APU selbst frei. Der Rest der Box ist mit dem Kühler gefüllt und das war es auch schon. Äußerlich erkennt man nicht, dass es sich hier um eine CPU mit integrierter GPU handelt, alles sieht aus wie immer und entsprechend simpel ist auch der Einbau im System. Bei der Wahl des Kühlers sollte man sich jedoch gleich zu Beginn überlegen wofür man das System nutzen möchte. Der beiliegende Kühler ist ausreichend aber für lange Spieleinsätze und/oder in einem kleinen Gehäuse wird er doch etwas zu schwach. Hier empfiehlt es sich noch etwas mehr Geld (20-50 €) in einen hochwertigen Kühler zu investieren. ----------- Leistung ----------- Ich erspare euch jetzt Kilometerlange Benchmarkergebnisse, die kann man jederzeit im Internet finden. Mich hat vorallem interessiert ob dieser kleine Chip tatsächlich aktuelle Spiele in "spielbarer" Qualität und Leistung auf den Monitor bringt!? Für mein System habe ich 16 GB DDR3 RAM mit 3200 Mhz und CL14 Timings verwendt, damit lässt sich die Performance des Grafikchips maximieren. Getestet habe ich das hauptsächlich mit Assassin's Creed Origins, ein relativ aktuelles Spiel (ende 2017) von dem wir wissen, dass es wirklich einiges an Leistung verschlingt und selbst starke Systeme in die Knie zwingen kann. Man muss aber realistisch bleiben, wer sich erwartet mit dem Ryzen 2400G 4k bei maximalen Settings zu spielen der wird natürlich enttäuscht werden. Wenn man sich vor Augen hält was bisher mit integrierter Grafik möglich war dann wird man aber hier durchaus eine Überraschung erleben. Ohne großes Tuning und Einstellen habe ich mal die Einstellungen im Spiel auf 1080p und mittel gesetzt. Das Spiel startet schon mal, ein gutes Zeichen. Die ersten Schritte und ich war durchaus überrascht. Es sind keine 60 FPS aber ich glaube man würde von so einem Chip eher eine Slideshow erwarten. Schaltet man (mit F1) die integrierte Benchmarkanzeige ein dann sieht man woran man ist und man möchte es nicht glauben aber selbst mit diesen doch recht ordentlichen Settings und ohne weiteres tuning läuft das Spiel hier mit rund 20-25 FPS. Klingt erstmal nach wenig aber es ist ja noch Luft denn wir spielen hier immer noch mit mittleren Settings (also alles auf mittel) und 1080p. Schruabt man an den Einstellungen und reduziert vor allem die wirklichen "Leistungsfresser" wie Texturqualität und Anti Aliasing etwas dann kommt man schon auf einen FPS Schnitt von knappen 30 FPS ohne jetzt massive Einbusen bei der Bildqualität hinnehmen zu müssen. Das ist schon beachtlich. Flüssige 40+ FPS sind mit 1080p dann aber nicht möglich, hier muss man auf 720 runter gehen, dann aber läfut das Spiel wirklich super und macht spaß. Wenn man bedenkt, dass man hier eine CPU + GPU für gerade mal 140 € vor sich hat ist das beachtlich. Officeanwendungen sind dennoch die größte Stärke des Ryzen 2400G, dort spielt er seine 3.9 GHZ CPU voll aus. Für reine Officezwecke ist der kleinere 2200G die optimale Lösung. Mit rund 90 € bietet er immer noch sehr gute Grafikleistung, wenn auch spürbar schwächer, für gängige Officeanwendungen ist er aber mehr als ausreichend und die geringere Abwärme macht ihn zur idealen CPU für klaine office Systeme. ----------- FAZIT ----------- WOW wer hätte das in Zeiten von 1000€ Grafikkarten gedacht, dass wir 2018 mit einer AMD APU Spiele wie Assassin's Creed oder andere spielen können ohne utopische Summen für Hardware zu bezahlen? Noch ist das kein Ersatz für eine starke Grafikkarte aber wer mit geringerer Auflösung oder geringeren Details leben kann bzw. nicht unbedingt die neuesten und leistungshungrigsten Spiele spielen will, dem bietet AMD mit den neuen Ryzen APUs eine echte Alternative an und gerade im SFF (Small Form Factor) Bereich erfreuen sie sich einer rasend wachsenden Beliebtheit weil es nun endlich auch ohne Grafikkarte möglich ist halbwegs gute Grafik zu bekommen. Wenn AMD weiter mit Hochdruck daran arbeitet werden wir schon bald deutlich leistungsfähigere APUs sehen.
