    Runs extremely hot compared to my AMD setup. Intel needs to be more efficient in their design

    I gave this one star because I cannot find any DDR5 memory to go with it. Best Buy was caught by the supply problems and had lots of CPU chips, no memory boards. So, I cannot evaluate right now. Delivery and price were exceptional.

    CPU went out after just 3 weeks of having it. Should’ve invested into AMD.

    paired with a EVGA Z690 (classified) board, & a Noctua NH-D15S; I ran the EVGA "stress test" for over an hour, temperature never exceeded 68 degrees. for my purposes, air is good enough to keep the chip stable.
