    Great lower power 6 core processor that gets the job done. Works great with an A520 motherboard for a value build. Included cooler is decently quiet and effective.

    My 10 year old 8700 dies, had to replace the motherboard and CPU to something a little more modern. Was exactly the same speed, but utilized RAM much more smoothly.
