Its better than i expected, much better.

Performance and thermals are great. Amazing value. Seriously the perfect CPU, you can ask for. It beats my 285k

-Gaming performance is really good -Multitasks well with its 6 Cores/12 threads -Pairs well with a budget B660 board -Undervolts well


It's incredibly fast for my use and multi-thread is fantastic. I can render videos, run applications in the background, and browse at the same time and see no drop in performance! A better cooler is recommended but is not critically hot when running at max capacity. Efficient at 65w TDP CPU fan included.

Does what it says it can do. Overclocks nicely if that's your thing but the speeds are fine for me as is.

-Runs much cooler than previous x299 CPU iterations -Has much more overclocking headroom at lower voltages. -14 cores

- works as expected so far

Easily installed on a new MSI motherboard with stock fan. Recognized in BIOS and simply works
