Pros: Its genuinely impressive how much an upgrade really improves your PC performance. My PC wakes up from sleep in literally about 1 seconds from the previous 10 or so. Plus game performance is doubled, nearly tripled from where I was. I upgraded from the R54500 to this

Cons: The cooler it uses requires a lot of space plus it needs cooler BRACKETS which I didnt know because the page does not show or tell you which fan it uses. Not a big issue just annoying because I didnt have the brackets and had to buy a new set

Overall Review: Very worthwhile, shouldnt need an upgrade for a long time now
