    Got this on sale and used to upgraded from my Intel i5 7500 @3.4ghz CPU along with the motherboard. Much better gaming performance I have noticed. Using the standard in-box heat sink fan which is fine for my build right now. Definitely worth the price if you get it on sale

    Price match made this thing just over a Benjamin. Making my mid range gaming pc super inexpensive. It by itself runs quite a few of the biggest games. A little tweaking to the settings but nothing to crazy with the included software.

    Can't find a very good Graphics card for games, use this APU. Enough for low or medium settings, 30-60 fps depends on game.

    Good performance at a great price. Matches nicely with an RTX 3070 build. The stock cooler it comes with is more than sufficient for this CPU. Can't go wrong with building a capable gaming rig around this chip.
