Pros: This is perfect for budget builds for almost any setup up, games and otherwise. This unlocked stable for me (bumped the voltage a step just to ensure it get the power it needed) 4 cores running prime95 overnight with no errors. When i woke up the cpu temps were at 46c full load on corsair a70 (that's with the inculded paste, better temps with better paste of course). pretty amazing. Make sure to turn cool n quiet off to prevent a crash when going from full load prime95 to nothing (has to do with voltage/vdroop)
Cons: It's out of stock and i want another!
Overall Review: Wish it came in better package since i had a few bent pins (bending them back was easy enough).
