    Works flawlessly, Intel has always been easily supported by all motherboard manufacturers, so it was a simple plug and play, My benchmark tests have been absolutely incredible compared to my previous AMD 3600XT

    Awesome CPU. I got it for sale for $399. Gets a bit toasty so you need a good aio. Only got mine to 5ghz because I lost the silicon lottery, but it's still an awesome cpu for the money.

    One of the best CPUs on the market, the Ryzen has the best one for the moment, but for all those intel fans save $50-100 dollars. There’s almost no difference between this one and the 10900k.

    Got it for a great price on sale as the 11th Gens started getting more traction and interest, and I will say I do not regret it for a second. Worth every penny for that 5GHz on 10 cores.

    I pricematched this from a competitor to put it in my dying computer until I can fully build my server. It's *almost* as good as 10900k but not quite there but at $350, it's hard to complain
