    Good processor except for one thing if you want to play games you need to get a motherboard that does not have video built into it and get a different processor other than that it's good

    Nice, inexpensive and easy to use CPU. The included fan is more than enough to keep it cool. Easily handled the RTX 3060ti.

    Good cpu for low end gaming. It will get hot and stutter when you try to play higher end games. This is more for league of legends and warcraft type. But if youre looking for more intensive gaming then this is not the chip for you.

    Pros: - 6c/12t CPU that will handle pretty much any game without breaking a sweat. - Runs very cool thanks to its low operating voltage. - With its lowered cost and AMD's supply issues (as of Dec 2020), it's actually currently the budget/cost-effective option Cons: - No overclocking - Stock cooler is junk but it should be adequate since you won't be overclocking

    I got this to replace a 10100 because I dropped a GTX 1080 in the computer and it was running a little too hard for my liking. It's a CPU and it works great. This is a great value but only if your still rocking a LGA 1200 board. If you need a board get a 12th Gen.

    This chip is a superb deal. If you are looking to build a home rig where you aren't doing any rendering or using any software that benefit from tons of threads this is a great deal. For the price of this chip right now, I don't think you could find a better deal for the performance.
