    Solid cpu for gaming. Average core count but high performance for gaming. Doesnt run very hot either with a stock cooler.

    Works just as it should, came in a timely manner, and I love that I got it at MSRP instead of the scalper prices that I was seeing on other sites.

    A fine cpu, works really well and has amazing single core performance. I never used the stock cooler on it, but from previous cpus that use the same cooler I can say that it is quite loud. Docking a point because at this point its a little pricey considering the cost of the i5 10400 and 11400

    Perfect Gaming Processor

    Great bang for your buck, one of the cheapest gaming processors out there. 6 cores and 12 threads will really go well with most graphics cards and will run your games extremely well at minimal load requirements.

    Great processor when paired with a 3070, somehow managed to snag one during their pc part dropped. Main complaint is its availability.

    This CPU has performed very well for me so far. Running it without a GPU right now, because GPU prices are ridiculous so far. Have about 16 gbs of ram and 512 gb ssd SATA, hasn't had any issues so far. Very satisfied

    The Second Processor (Total Price)

    I had to become a total member so that Geek Squad could fix my PC. (They've attempted to fix it 6 times. Maybe 7) I paid $160. Twice I had a great time with this product. It worked great when I unboxed it, and ran smoothly until it suddenly failed on me. I turn it off after a standard night of gaming. Then it refused to function the next day. Without any clear reason as to why, Best Buy nor AMD would issue a replacement. So I another one of these with the hope it works, so that I can avoid buying a new motherboard.

    Just what I needed for gaming with a 6750 XT graphics card. I am also liking the fast clock speed compared to my Ryzen 5 1600.

    Older cpu for my msi 550 pro motherboard. Can access full memory and on board m.2 card. Price was same as used ones. Didn't use the fan, but looks adequate.

    Bought 2 of these to build gamers for my collage age grand kids. My grandson says he's getting 60 fps @ 1440 playing Kerbal Space which is the only game he has had any issues with previously with his old system.
