    This is really one of the most bang for the buck cpu you can get if you are a gamer or a light workload user. This can handle mostly anything you throw at it. The cooler is just a bonus if you don't plan on overclocking it much.

    I love this processor it’s a great improvement on my previous 3600 X however I did get scared when I put it in my motherboard and it wouldn’t process but my motherboard had a bios feature which really helped

    This CPU worked flawlessly out of the box exactly as expected. Make sure if your motherboard bios is fully updated prior to installing as some older AM4 motherboard bios versions don't support these newer versions of the processors.

    Amazing CPU, if you can find it in stock! Make sure you have a decent motherboard to really get the most out of this little beast (PBO, Power Curve Optimizer) but even with a cheap board at stock, this thing will scream!

    Great low cost CPU. The stock cooler is sufficient, though a little loud. Highly recommend picking up a better one.
