High FPS, 300+ in Fortnite

- Runs fairly cool at idle, around 37-38C for me using push-pull AIO setup. - When under heavy load for bench and stress tests, I've barely exceeded 80C. - With some tweaking, was able to get it up to around 5.6Ghz OC and undervolting using PBO settings. - Doesn't even break a sweat while gaming or doing anything else.

- Good temps - Should have good OC headroom

Super awesome communication and accurate description. Item came before expected. Arrived in perfect condition and exactly as described. This chip now powers my AI/Racing Sim Box.. very happy customer!

Good luck finding Cheap DDR5 and a 690 MOBO


Got when was $107.99 and got good silicon lottery. Can almost high max pbo boost with a PX4 cooler. Running 64gb of DDR4 3600 mhz 16-20-20-38 1.4V 500 tRFC.

Upgraded 2020 budget mini ITX build from Ryzen 5 2600. Updated mobo before disassembly. For unknown reason CPU would not register/ black screen, then it magically went to working after I asked for replacement. LOL. Does not come with fan, which I knew. Reused Nomura fan and cooler. Temps very moderate. I also upgraded to an NVMe 1tb ssd, all paired with existing GTX1060 6 GB, 16 GB RAM. Could not be happier. Noticeable difference in speed. Should be good for several more years now. Fast shipping too.

Stability, Power, Overclocking

Highest single thread performance on the market Huge gaming performance upgrade over previous Intel gens Undervolts very well. Setting AC loadline to 50 reduces power by 20-30% at stock frequencies. Lots of knobs to turn for tweakers with P-core, E-core, and ring to overclock

Keeps real cool with a 360mm water cooler

Fast cheaper same results as i9

I installed to be able to upgrade to windows 11. I am using this on my home computer. This processor is much faster than my old one.



Pretty much 7600 level power and output Cost effective Non integrated graphics

Good price for a 8c/16t cpu was less then 176. Great single/multi thread to finish off AM4. Bios and OS says it is what it should be performance is great even with a old 4g AMD RX570 Came quick within a week.

fast and efficient i am playing all my games on ultra again, paired with a 7900 gre on a z790 chipset along with g.skill ddr5 at 5600

-I'm blown away by just how smooth everything is now. -The x3d architecture bringing more cache is incredible for games. If you are having micro-stutters, then this is your fix. -Seemingly better than the current intel line-up -No pins on the CPU!

Easy to set up and use. Bonus, it came with a fan.
