    Solid performance for a majority of games! I would recommend bumping up to the next tier if you want a smoother process for heavy games like COD. Definitely a good purchase otherwise.

    Great processor to complete my RTX 3070 gaming pc build. This is one of the best processors for the money out there for gaming and general use.

    Love it. A 25% increase in performance from a 3600. Do use a AIO and get idle temps of 32-35 and load when gaming 55-60. Worth the upgrade. Would recommend.

    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.

    Increased performance 2x over my old R5 1600, will probably last me until 8th gen or later with AMD's track record.
