I got this item on sale, and it is an amazing upgrade for anyone with older Am4 setup. This runs significantly cooler than my 9700k, and even comes with a cooler. I did not use the included cooler, but it was a nice touch that makes the value even better.

-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!

Way more than I need

good processor, one of the best on the market,



Amazing CPU, it does about anything I need it to do. I don't play many games but it does just fine with ATS, ETS2, FS22, GTA V, and others. From testing it seems like the CPU is no longer the bottleneck and I can upgrade the GPU again later. Easy upgrade path to i5/i7/i9 later down the road.
