This processor is awesome. It operates at 5.2Ghz no problem and it does not overheat like some have said I have it installed on a ASUS Prime Z690-A with 64GB of ram I am rocking all day long. Benchmarks are awesome I get 20468 score in 3D Mark. Am very pleased I bought it. Will not have to upgrade for a long time.

Low thermals - very good performance - pretty fast

Smooth and stable, good thermals with an Aorus Waterforce X 360. Barely cracking 60° C

- I am using an air cooler, and the system runs very quiet and smooth. - Cinebench R23 easily passes 35,000 multicore and 2,271 single-core without overclocking

I don't need gaming or other heavy lifting for a CPU. I just needed a cool, quiet, modern platform that will last me for a good number of years. I chose Intel over AMD as I find Intel's Quick Sync hardware capabilities to be better in my application for a media server. This CPU fit the bill. It's the cheapest option to get into a socket 1851 platform at this time with no budget oriented Ultra 3, Pentiums, or Celeron chips available. Having 10 cores available is nice to have, but a bit overkill for my application. I am pleased with the CPU. It stays cool and quiet. The stock cooler has a copper core and is VERY quiet! It does everything I need.

Works great, great price, fast shipping, actually received what is shown.

price efficiency performance memory overclocking

Arrived at the time it said it would, is what I purchased, and came as described



Speed Price Ease of installation


-fast response and good replacement time

It's fast and very nice

Good price for a 8c/16t cpu was less then 176. Great single/multi thread to finish off AM4. Bios and OS says it is what it should be performance is great even with a old 4g AMD RX570 Came quick within a week.


Not much to say about this great CPU. It's unlocked and has many cores, performs well and can be overclocked. I just needed a beefier CPU cooler then what I purchased with this CPU. Get a cooler that is at least 150W TDP to run it with reasonably low temps. If you overclock, a cooler with higher Watts (200-300W) rating is a must.

works great
