- Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Don’t know what the fuss is about?
This is an awesome CPU. It’s stable at 33-37c with some cheap Noctua rip off brand cooler. Was told by many people to go AMD but a weekend sale got me to make a whole new computer build from Best Buy. (Also having 50 series GPU in stock). I cannot wait to see wht Intel has in store for the future
