    Works really hot and took me time to learn how important is pair it with the right cooler. Low tdp coolers will keep your computer randomly restating

    Excellent processor

    Great processor for the money. However 9600k chips seem to be lower binned chip, hard to get these to clock 5ghz or beyond. But still a good chip.
