    Great deal, but terrible stock cooler performance.

    The CPU performs as expected, however the stock cooler is pretty terrible. Don't know whether to fault that on the thermal paste, or the cooler itself. My thermal paste came with something in it on the very corner. No idea what it could be, but it was on it when i first unboxed it. The only other thing about this is the shipping. The shipping is what really infuriated me. This is probably just the fault of the shipping company, but the estimates were WAYYY off. The CPU ended up arriving last in my build, when it estimated to be the first one to arrive. CPU arrived i think an entire week (probably less) then it originally estimated for. When running a prime 95 (second option) on it, the cpu reaches 90C after about 5 minutes and almost 95C in 8 minutes. The CPU then heavily thermal throttles (down from like 4.2ghz i think, to 3.7ghz at the lowest). If you pick this one up, make sure you have your OWN cpu cooler and thermal paste!

    A really good cpu for those on a budget however If you’re upgrading in the near future plan on something a little better. Overall a really great cpu and would definitely buy again if I ever have to build a new system
