Fantastic processor, but do NOT use the stock cooler. It cannot cool sufficiently, and thus the cooler runs at high speed ALL the time, creating a ridiculous level of noise. Be prepared to buy a decent aftermarket cooler.

I have bought this CPU for my first pc build, so far it has been excellent compared to my old laptop with a i5 8250u

I think Cryorig is enabling "Turbo" to kick in more generously than I expected because I am seeing speeds of 4.4 to 4.6 GHz and power at 85W with peaks over 100W. Small criticism, not enough to lose a star, of the instructions and...view more
