I upgraded from an I7 7700 getting 100-140 FPS on PUBG on low settings using a 1080ti. I upgraded to this CPU and I am seeing a considerable difference. I get a constant 144 FPS probably more but I cap my games at 144. The price could be a little lower.

The box came with very clear and concise instructions which I really do appreciate. It also helped having my motherboard instructions out on how to prep for the installation of the cpu. Overall I would highly recommend this beast, it is very cool and able to run games at or around 60-65c on a stock cooler with a bit of an aggressive fan curve.
