    My Motherboard went out recently and CPU went with it, I got this one so far so good, It's not good as my ryzen 7 5700g but its decent, I'd say I pay'd a tiny bit over compared what i could've got, It's just all they had in store, However still good.

    Great processor, really all you need if you're on AM4 outside of a professional setting. Stock cooler ran loud but BB made it an easy return process.

    Great gaming processor. Decent value. $300.00 is a premium for a 6 core chip in 2021, but has gaming performance similar to i9 10900k

    Best bang for your buck CPU. Feels weird buying a 6 core cpu in 2021 but if you're just building a gaming PC this CPU is perfect. Just need to tweak settings with PBO and Curve optimizer.
