Great budget CPU
For its price, the performance is great. Will be able to run most games on its highest settings alongside a good GPU.

Impressive start to LGA1700 life
Stable. Fast. Not that hot. Latest connectivity. Easy to install. Where's the catch?On the plus side, there are few compatibility issues with programs and those that do may simply need the efficiency cores to be disabled. The chip is quite small for the number of cores you get on the new manufacturing process. It does what it says on the tin and seems to be the sweet spot in the range in terms of price/performance (and this model even has in-built graphics if you need it).On the downside, you really get bare bones here. No cooler. No thermal paste. Nothing but good old fresh air inside the box and a bit of plastic that protects the processor. I also thought that the LGA1700 installation was a bit unnerving after coming from socket AM4 or TR4. You really do need to be brace to force that metal arm down on the socket to squash the chip into place. The slightly more rectangular shape of the chip also means that many coolers are incompatible so make sure you get one with LGA1700 out of the box or you will need some sort of adaptor or mounting kit.Would I buy it again? Yes, definitely. I had some concerns about compatibility but those have largely been addressed. I read that the chip can get rather how but I have not seen anything remotely worrying, even in heavy load situations. The best part is the Windows 11 support and the future-proofing of latest connectivity (even though a major selling point is the efficiency cores for light workloads).

Good for what I needed
Powerful for the price. I wasn't prepared to settle for one that had less clock speed than my last PC and if you are building a PC for gaming then the chances are you will have a graphics card and don't need to spend the extra amount for the inclusion of integrated graphics. Keep in mind that it doesn't come with a fan when you buy it so you will need to get one separately.
