Question 1

Would this CPU work well for minor video editing?

Accepted Answer

Most would say, "Yes" if it is working with a 3070 or 3080 GPU.

Question 2

Does it come with Thermal paste or pad?

Accepted Answer

As I recall, the processor comes with thermal paste applied.  I did not add any for my installation.

Question 3

Does this mean there are slots for 2 DIMMs, which can be up to 64 gb each? Do they have to match?
"Memory Channel2
Max Memory Size128 GB"

Accepted Answer

It means that this CPU will support up to two channel memory and up to 128GB capacity. The motherboard is where the DIMM slots are and determine the number of slots and total capacity.

Question 4

Is a desktop proessor the same as a boxed processor?

Accepted Answer

A desktop processor is intended to pair with a motherboard designed for a desktop computer (as opposed to a laptop or embedded computer).  In this case, boxed refers to whether it ships in a retail box.  This item is a desktop processor in a retail box, and includes a cooler.
