Extremely good performance and price
Pros: Beats my previous 3700x by 15% in single core performance and 21% in multicore performance, while running cooler
Cons: None. Maybe just the obsolete cooler in the box. Waste of materials
Overall Review: Absolutely great performance. Can match a 5600x in single core performance and doesn't shoot too far away from the 5800x in multicore performance without needing a beefy aio
Game looks like it's from 2010 at best

Very powerful, hot but fixable and janky AMD drivers
Pros: As I have undervolted the card, it doesn't require over 250w, when consuming 340w at stock. It outperforms my friend's overclocked 3080. Average core temperature at stock and very good core temperature when undervolted. Quiet when undervolted.
Cons: Runs very hot out of the box, despite my airflow oriented nr400 case. Junction temp reached 91c on time spy. Undervolting brought the temperature down by 14-17 degrees celcius. It is a loud card if you don't undervolt for better temperature. AMD drivers are very janky. Modifying the settings inside the drivers while running a game causes it to stutter. Audio from audio interface cuts out if I don't uninstall audio drivers from AMD that I don't need. YouTube video pauses when moving the browser's window.
Overall Review: Overall, it is very powerful (beats my friend's overclocked 3080 while only consuming a maximum of 240w). Will run amazingly if you undervolt it, otherwise it is loud and too hot. AMD drivers are janky, but not enough to drive me away from this product
