  • Best Bang for the Buck Processor in Early 2020

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is a great CPU, with 6 cores and 12 Threads with a base clock of 3.6Ghz and Boost clock of 4.2Ghz. With a Corsair H115i Pro, i cqn get sustained clocks of 4.05Ghz, with some easy (but quite limited) overclocking potential (3rd gen doesn't OC that well). That being said, I've loved this CPU and have had no issues.

    Well, it was simple to install w/ my cooling fan. I’m fairly new to building my rig, so I’m not quite tech savvy overall in terms as to how well each part performs. Just know it’s an amazing process by a popular brand that I’d recommend. I may even consider upgrading it within a couple years just because.
