    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.

    Excellent processor for gaming and streaming. Make sure you get a good video card as well, as this processor does not have on board graphics.

    I doubt this needs to be said, but this CPU is one of the best available right now, and will likely be a top performer for half a decade.
