Replaced an ancient i5 and GTX 560 and runs faster and quieter including in the games my kids play (Roblox and Minecraft).



Works amazing with just a H75 water cooler. I can hardly feel heat coming from it even after hours of use. Reviews that say it runs too hot are just plain wrong and there's no way they're using a water cooling system

Phenomenal performance. Hand over fist better in any type of load I put on it than my previous 3700X... Glad that AMD has stepped up with this generation and is dominant compared to intel. I'm running this on an Asus Prime-Pro X570 without issue. PBO on and is working much better with boosts compared with the last gen.


Awesome speeds for 65 watts! No need for liquid cooling; wraith cooler is near silent.


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

It's very , very good !!


- It exceeded my expectations when compared to my i9-14900k. I get more FPS and lower wattage! an Amazing Combo


Nice price, I recommended to buy it if your looking for top end gaming. Also need to remember that it haves integrated graphics that you can use while you try get your hands on the news gpus

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.

Low power, good igpu, cheap

Nice,stable processor. Good bang for the buck.



Its Intel, Its in stock, it American made too not just American designed!
