    Plenty fast and great budget CPU paired with a $400 video card is great. Just know in a B550 MB you might have to flash the bios first. And this cpu does not support pcie4 even in a B550 MB.

    the cpu has power for your typical tasks and can hold its own, not impressive if you are use or even have used a 5800 or higher.

    Good if nabbed for under 100, not worth it over that. Only do so if you are rocking a 2600 or 1600. A 3600 put performs this.

    It doesn't work, I wanted to exchange it for another one at the store but they told me it was impossible, I don't need my money back, I need a processor to be able to work, I don't use my PC to play, I use it for work every day, I hope you can help me
