    Works great. Best deal I found online anywhere. It’s perfect for gaming. And I’m still running an old 3060 ti graphics card.

    This card pairs perfecrly well with anything GPU under an rtx 5080. Even an rtx 5080 will not be bottlenecked bt this cpu if you are running 1440p resolution and up. I cant see any reason to overspend on an i7 or i9 when you will see less than 1% difference when gaming. Only “con” is no included cooler, but if youre buying an unlocked CPU, you peobably want a decent cooler anyways.

    As fast as my 12900K, but seems a little more stable in FPS... I play BF4 for eye health, and will be able to play BF6 with this little bad boy.

    Bought this in June and it’s still working great. I’m able to play multiple games at once with this CPU & my pc setup. I’ve had no problems and Intel gives away free games/ early access beta testing opportunities.

    This CPU is a total beast! It has fewer cores than some of the more expensive versions but its single (and multi) core speed is still amazing! Which means for gaming its pretty much as good as it gets if you are looking to avoid overspending. If you are building a gaming PC or looking to upgrade your PC. I would honestly get this over almost anything else. This is the best value in todays market for, you'll get the most for your money and honestly for gaming you're getting top of the line performance.

    Good speed, doesn’t run too hot either. Update your BIOS just to be on the safe side.

    This CPU is a good entry level for mid range. I would recommend to get it on sale. You can do a lot with this. Obviously depends on use case for your needs. For gaming and light school/office work it’ll be fine.

    replaced my degraded i7-14700k with this processor and am very happy with it it runs cooler, and provides basically the same gaming performance. I never needed the extra cores or clockspeed from the i7 and it was plug and play with my existing setup
