recently replaced my 2700x cpu with a brand new 5600x just as an upgrade, have done minimal research but seen its some anniversary edition of the normal 2700x, is it worth keeping ? i do not have box or special edition fan

its the 50th anniversary special cpu signed by Lisa Su I think. just look online if it is worth more, if you like it keep it otherwise sell it ig.
You seem to have one with amds ceo signature. As a working used collectors model it’ll likely sell for way more then the normal 2700x but still not insanely much I think
I still have my old 2700X sitting in its box. Ran it on max overclock for just over 2 years before I saw any performance degradation. Wonderful little chip.
There’s one in box listed for 600$ on ebay but I see none sold
The anniversary edition just has the CEO’s signature etched onto the IHS but otherwise it should be identical to a standard 2700X. You could list it as a collectors item and see if anyone’s willing to pay more for it
I mean, instead of posting it here, you could have just googled the difference that it says on the heatspreader.
Just google “Amd 50 ryzen 2700x” and you find your answer. Would be less work for you
Not sure about value right now – might be worth something in a few years time, if the trend of “vintage computing” extends into the future.
The sheer amount of 486/Pentium era parts that I threw away over the years, only to find they’re going for 500 or even 1000 $ on eBay is…painful, let’s say.
I’d hold onto that if I were you.
I would encase it and keep it as a keepsake. I still have my 386 “Today’s Choice” and 486 “Tomorrow’s Vision” keychain
Pretty obvious?
Problem is the 2700x was already out for a year when that dropped. And the 3000 series was launched about 3 months later.
There were zero changes made to clock speed, etc. The IHS and retail box were marked as 50th. It was more of a marketing blimp/stop gap to have some press before the 3000 launched. 🤷
Hey, I have the 50th anniversary Radeon VII. It’s work a decent penny now. Not sure about the CPU though.
Newer ones have the signature of AI on it

OP spotted
I used mine so long the brand ink is no longer on the Chip. Upgraded to a new one recently. How do I sell a CPU that works with no branding? Well that is what I have been wondering myself.
Looks like the 50th Anniversary CPU. They did a GPU too, a 5700XT IIRC.
Without the box and all that I it’s probably not super valuable. Aside from the signature (which isn’t really hand signed of course) it’s a regular 2700X. The GPU at least looked quite a bit different from the regular stuff.
All that said, it’s still gonna be worth more than a regular 2700X but not a huge amount of money.
If you’re patient n dont need the money now id hold onto it for a while, will probably be worth more later on
