As Good As You'd Expect 09/08/2015
This review is from: Intel Core i5-4590 - Core i5 4th Gen Haswell Quad-Core 3.3 GHz LGA 1150 84W Intel HD Graphics 4600 Desktop Processor - BX80646I54590
Pros:
Runs well and consistently so. Also runs quite cool hovering around 45C on the stock cooler. Not the best temps in general, but for a stock cooler, definitely not too shabby. Even under load it stays pretty cool, but I haven't exactly put it through a stress test. With the relatively low power draw compared to some chips, this is pretty much exactly what I have come to expect from Intel.
Cons:
It's a locked chip. That's about the only con I can think of and it's an expected thing. o.o
