    Definitely a and fan boy by far just not a fan of amds software issues for some reason after the bios update and reading the fine print it still wouldn’t let me over clock for reasons unknown at this point. All and all the cpu is actually worthy of heavy game play

    Great CPU so far. Temps with stock cooler and 2 case fans aren't horrible, just very mediocre. I'd suggest (if you're not fine with the temps) investing in an aftermarket cooler. I'd also hold off before buying, as prices are trending downwards in anticipation of AMD's Zen 3 announcement in about a week.
