    Super fast but super hot, you basically have to undervolt it to control the temperatures from spiking so high

    Despite the bad rep this processor has gotten, I believe BIOS updates have mitigated the problem. I’ve been using this product for 6 or 7 months and I’ve not had a single problem heat or software wise.

    Had it for a bit but ran it with a z690 msi mpg ddr4 motherboard, not the recommended motherboard for it, didn't see much use for it when my I7 13700k worked good enough for my gaming needs. Plus I didn't want to buy a new motherboard and ram when the next CPU will also need a new motherboard. I'll wait till the end of the year or beginning of the next year for the Blackwell cpu's.
