love the 3d cache came not broken good for gaming

- Price vs current Gen CPU and competition. - No motherboard upgrade required if using AM4 X370/X570 Chipset. - No PSU upgrade required. - Most of my games runs the CPU at Load 30% average and not more than 70'C at 4K resolution.



Worked well as advertised didn't really have an issue this is my first Intel Bill on so I'm a little new to the way that the sockets work as far as the installation process goes feels a little tough installing it but as long as you make sure that the socket seated properly you're okay worked really well clock speeds are great I would definitely recommend in game performance as great as well

-Newer games like bf1 run much better. -Overclocks to 5.0 GHZ on 1.3v or less.


It shipped slightly ahead of estimate and very near a holiday no less. Great price point

I have both, but in different boards; i read a review that said the hyperthreading only counts in certain games, and since I run a dx-11 title on my surround view rig, i can't notice any disadvantage, nor a boost when playing american truck driver. the one thing i have noticed, is it's currently a lot cheaper than my 3600, lol! but seriously folks; I've run a few hundred hrs with this proc, using an msi r-9 290, a gigabyte wind force gtx 1650 o.c; and an asus rtx 5050 o.c. without a single hitch! i love the new 5050 by the way; i removed the plastic back plate, and re-installed the screws, to use the shroud as the support plate, so i could set a 92mm 4-pin fan over the pcb (dart tips fit the mounting holes, and are trimable for height) and it runs 5760 x 1080p at about 60% load, and 120 degrees F.... (44 fps and full eye candy) i'm on an asrock b550 phantom 4; 16gb timtec 16-18-18-38 3200mhz; a 40" tv, with two 32" viewsonics for the side windows, and it rocks! i'm old school; i built my first rig in 1995, and i never overclock, i just upgrade to go faster, lol! my bragging rights come from the years i can squeeze out of the cash i paid; i have 20 motherboards; an abit ax5 with a 100 mhz dx4, and perfect caps after 30 years. i have a foxconn destroyer, an asrock 990fx fatalty killer, an asrock z590 steel legend atx's all. a pair of zotac 780 gtx's amped editions with full solid copper water blocks, a gigabyte ud5 with an i7 core / and 8 x 4 gb sticks quad channel ddr3 patriot 1866 mhz copper aluminum spreaders with copper bars inside..................................... an original foxconn 8800 gtx i purchased the day it was released


If you are looking for the best performance on a budget, this is your chip. I built two systems with similar hardware except for the CPU - one with this and the other with a core 7 265. I can't tell a difference in Star Citizen, one of the most demanding games on a CPU.

Works acceptably.

Fantastic processor! Even @ stock speed this bad boy can handle a lot. Having 8 threads is quite nice.

Fantastic performance in gaming Doesnt get too hot (I use a 240mm AIO and it stays around 36c idle and 65 under max load). Blows away Intels new Core Ultra series(in frame generation). Cheaper than its beefier 5800X3D brother, but still gives great performance.

Great Processer for a build that has a good video card !!!


Runs everything on roblox Minecraft at max graphics on hypixel. A dream even with a lot of people in skyblock Repo is fantastic Jurassic world evolution at medium is good u notice a tiny bit of lag but it's not horribly noticeable anything higher is runnable but you'll notice it



got here fast, now damage to packaging, cpu works great
