    I bought this CPU on sale, and it was a good deal. It doesn't let off much heat, even when my son is gaming online. I didn't care if it was the unlocked version, as I don't try to overclock a CPU.

    Fit into motherboard, no issues with temperature. I don't stress it too much, so I don't experience any stuttering out lag. Make sure you match the socket number with the Mobo number.

    Worked great for my build - definitely not fot those that want to overclock and get some more out of it since it's locked, but for this price it's a great CPU and the Intel Turbo boost helps.

    Great processor for the price. No issues. I prefer Intel over AMD for quality & longevity. Was glad Best Buy had it in stock. Curbside pickup via the app is also great.
