    Best value high performance CPU, runs very cool with a low TDP of 65W, This has allowed me to extend the life of my old PSU as graphics cards remain at a steady power consumption.

    Coming from a 3600 I didn’t think this was a going to be a huge improvement, but it definitely showed in BF5 gained about 20 more FPS I didn’t really believe in it until I saw the bench marks. Budget friendly. I paired it with a B550 MB

    Works good so far. The fan that comes with it is a little too wide and causes issues if you need to remove the processor. It does come with a little thermal paste on the fan, but nothing spectacular and you are better wiping it off and putting your own on it.

    I upgraded my 2nd pc from a 3600 to this. I'm using a b450 mb and it's a great pair for a budget, entery level pc. The stock cooler should definitely be replaced but it's enough to hold you over if you don't overclock it.
