    Excellent processor, but loud fan!

    This CPU is exactly what I hoped that it would be. Performance has been great and I haven’t had any heat issues (even running VR and hi res games). The only thing I’ll comment on is the very loud cooling fan that comes with it. That thing is loud and dangerous. The blades on it are like razors! Do yourself a favor and get a quiet cooler like the CoolerMaster and you’ll never have to worry about temp OR noise.

    Fast CPU, cheap cooler

    Great processor, very fast and it performs well! But the included heat sink and fan is tiny and feels cheap. The stock cooler does not even have a copper core like previous stock intel coolers. Consider an aftermarket cooling solution. But, with the stock cooler it runs just fine.

    8 threads before, 8 threads after, 2x performance

    This was the last piece of a 2019 platform upgrade from a 2600k. The threads stay the same but the performance is double. The H310 motherboard was released/bought first in January. Don't need more until years down the line. By then I hope I can double the performance like I did with the 9700 from 2600k.
