Getting this CPU for gaming has turned on a switch. Tarkov can push 150-200fps, Rust 160fps, Apex 300. If you play competitively, on a 240hz+ monitor, this will serve you greatly.

Arrived at the time it said it would, is what I purchased, and came as described

After searching and comparing I concluded that this CPU is best value for money. And one that will last for years. [My i3 lasted for 10 years without a hitch].

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.

I don't need gaming or other heavy lifting for a CPU. I just needed a cool, quiet, modern platform that will last me for a good number of years. I chose Intel over AMD as I find Intel's Quick Sync hardware capabilities to be better in my application for a media server. This CPU fit the bill. It's the cheapest option to get into a socket 1851 platform at this time with no budget oriented Ultra 3, Pentiums, or Celeron chips available. Having 10 cores available is nice to have, but a bit overkill for my application. I am pleased with the CPU. It stays cool and quiet. The stock cooler has a copper core and is VERY quiet! It does everything I need.

Much cheaper than boxed cpu, so if you aren't looking to use a stock cooler this is the way to go, but honestly, you could buy a cheap AIO cooler and still save money over the retail boxed version. CPU was well packaged (bubble wrap package, box, more bubble wrap around a 2nd box containing the plastic CPU holder}, and in perfect condition. Great CPU, at a great price!

8 core/16 thread + low end gaming graphics in a 65W(-ish) envelope? What's not to like? - Runs cool with the included heat sink - Decent graphics at a reasonable price at a time when discrete GPU in-stock supplies are low and prices are off the planet

-fast response and good replacement time


Very powerful chip even though I have undervolted the thing to a previous generation it is sitting at all core 6.0ghz on the pcores 4.6ghz on the ecores 5.1ghz on the ring ratio and its eith a -0.1 undervolt. LLC 5 and AC/DC LL calibrated she sits at 1.3v on vid/core/vcore netting a 42950k in cinnebench r23. @ max package temp of 88c and average of 70c. Gaming she never exceeds 50c anyways....this was merely a simple OC ram is also now set from 7200MT to 7800MT could possibly get 8000 if I were to try.


works great

CPU is fine
