    This is a huge step up from an old FX8300. Wasn’t sure it was time to upgrade yet but I’m glad I did.

    The box showed up damaged, but thankfully nothing was damaged inside so I docked Best Buy a star for that. The CPU itself is amazing, some of the best bang for your buck you can get. The stock cooler is perfect as well, consistently running around 55 degrees C under load.
