    I love this chip. I do a lot of task and haven't hit 40% CPU usage yet. It was a major upgrade for my i7-965 Extreme, I just hope it holds up.

    It's a good CPU for a regular gamer but if you're a streamer you should get i7

    Great cpu base clock is perfect for some gaming, upgraded from a 6700 and the difference is amazing. I fired up some war hammer total war 2 and the loading is super fast. Compared to the 6700. So glad I upgraded. Got a good deal since they are getting ready for the 11 gen. Went with the 10 gen because I am not paying the prices for the 4 m.2 just yet. 200 a terabyte is steep and I am not in that big of a hurry. Good deal
