works well on a asus rog b760f with the supplied orbital fan. AI3 software runs in low power mode and turbos with game applications and stays under 78c average with a top down blower fan


Low power, good igpu, cheap

literally blows away my Ryzen 9 3900x

+ Affordable for my needs + Can be over-clocked + Great CPU for the non-gamer + Average Temps well within specs + Wraith Cooler does fine for temps



it can hit 5GHz on all cores 8-core 16 thread with great gaming performance

Easy to install Included cooler does the job CPU is fast

However, I have been undervolting since day one. I saw the initial VCore figures and I thought the BIOS was pulling wayyyy too much voltage to run this CPU. The VCore never goes above 1.325v, and I did not have to lock all cores to 55x. IDK, I've beaten this CPU with gaming, file compression and decompression, Folding at Home for months on end, Originally I was using the MSI Z690 Unify-X motherboard, but I switched this to another system with the MSI Z790 Meg Ace.

System's motherboard BIOS was updated to the 2024 release. There was a different processor in the MB (A520M PRO) at the time. Ryzen 3 was installed and no issues with start-up. Although, it booted a few times to make adjustments. As a general desktop, the system flies. It is being used to write this review.

-Can finally run arc raiders at 60-80 frames

(1) It works. (2) It is faster than my TR 1950X. (3) It is faster than my R9 7950X at multi-threaded tasks. (4) It can run WinUAE in real-time without the need for JIT.



Price was great, performance is also awesome ive OC'd mine beyond what it should be and its been running like a champ for almost a year now, no issues once so ever!
