TOP FAVORABLE REVIEW
Works well enough, was a bit cheaper than the Ryzen 5600X when I purchased it.

Runs my games great, almost as well as my other system running a Ryzen 7 5800X. No real difference in day-to-day usage responsiveness despite fewer cores. The difference in gaming can probably be attributed to the AMD system having a better GPU. (6900 XT vs RTX 3070)

I needed an upgrade for my secondary system and chose this over the 5600X because it was less expensive when factoring in the motherboard also.

My 10 year old CM Hyper 212 works on it, (with a newer fan - original fan for it died years ago) and keeps it cool enough at stock settings.

One thing I like about Intel is that I rarely have any issues out of the box with their platforms, unlike AMD - while I've never had any major issues with AMD either, they just seem to have little "teething issues" that take a while to get resolved, usually with BIOS/UEFI updates.

Runs hot and causes the fan on the heatsink to roar as soon as any load is applied (fixed by changing the fan curve in the UEFI)

Terrible Intel cooler mounting system

No stock cooler included (not really a con, you couldn't use that thing to cool this hot running beast anyway)

I'd recommend it if it were cheaper than the AMD alternatives - otherwise go with the AMD for the increased power efficiency. Despite this I'm happy with my choice.

Runs very well on:

ASRock H570M PRO4 motherboard
2x 16GB Crucial Ballistix DDR4-3000
ASUS RTX 3070 Dual + ASUS ROG 750w Strix PSU (came bundled with the video card)

Reminder that since this is an "F" model you WILL need a video card of some kind as there are no integrated graphics!
