    Very fast and cool. Boosts to 4.7ghz and temps barely go to 70 with stock cooler. Never going back to inferno power hungry intel chips.

    Great Processor. Included cooler is adequate but you may want to upgrade to keep temps down.

    Gave 5 stars based on others reviews. I have no clue how this will perform because I can’t get a gpu anywhere. My entire new build is sitting in boxes waiting on the ever elusive gpu.

    Great product definitely a upgrade from the Ryzen 7 2700x. Would pair way better with a B550 Motherboard instead of the B450.

    My only critique of this product is that periodically, the CPU package temperature will randomly spike and then return to typical temperatures. Otherwise clocks are great and very reliable.

    It’s good but I’ve had a lot of moment when I first used and and now of it just needing to use all the cpu power it can grab. Going up to the 80-90 range when running a game on all low settings. But with that said there is NO Lag And Amazing quality just is scary when it’s being used that hard and won’t last long I would guess.

    Works great for me, came with its own cooler with thermal paste pre applied. I suggest upgrading the cooler if heavy gaming for my tempts were in the 90’s while playing MW2 campaign. Fast while multitasking.
