After swapping from a 1600x, around 60/70% improvement


i ordered this product to keep the price down on a new pc build for my client, this cpu is way more than they needed to do the job that they wanted, worked perfectly, over all cost for this pc was around $500.00 and he was very happy with the end results.





65 watt but also 3.6ghz with 6 cores. Great price!

If you are looking for the best performance on a budget, this is your chip. I built two systems with similar hardware except for the CPU - one with this and the other with a core 7 265. I can't tell a difference in Star Citizen, one of the most demanding games on a CPU.

For web browsing and office tasks, this thing is fast.

PRO Games!

no issues mounting


Amazing processor, not only does this cpu preform to the max but is also super cool, normal idle temp with liquid cooling runs at approx 25C under load 50C by throttling the CPU core clock giving power when it needs it, at idle the clock is around ~ .9Ghz and can boost up to 4.4Ghz not a bad chip at all to OC either! gets amazing frames in games like ARMA 3, just what i needed!

-Great Multithreading performance -Great Gaming performance -Low Power Usage -Free performance gains with PBO2 undervolting

So far so good. I was particularly happy it came with a fan and the fan did not need extra mounting hardware on the motherboard. Very straight-forward processor install. Has been running at constant 37C/100F. Not used as a heavy duty gamer but would probably want more sophisticated cooling if I were to do heavy gaming

Worked in a MSI Pro B650-S Wifi board right out of the box. Zero issues installing drivers. Everything. Just. Worked.

Replaced an ancient i5 and GTX 560 and runs faster and quieter including in the games my kids play (Roblox and Minecraft).
