Great budget cpu for a budget gaming pc. Works a treat
Current gen ryzen 5 AM4 socket. purchased to replace ryzen 3 on my sons b350 motherboard. Even after Bios update would not POST. Switched with another ryzen 5 4.0 ghz from a b550 board. New CPU booted fine in B550 board, Dont expect it to work in a b350 chipset even though it is listed as compatible with the latest Bios. CPU itself is good, runs fortnite on gtx 1070 at 60fps with 16gb ram, so overall ok, but would be mad if i didnt have the other board to swap the CPU with
Great CPU good for gaming Great CPU good for gaming
The product offers a good balance of price and quality.
5/5 for the CPU itself. 2/5 for the Cooler that comes with it. You need to budget in an aftermarket cpu cooler for more than basic use. Mine wasn't overclocked and had correctly applied thermal paste but still would hit close to 80 degrees when playing gta5. I had a Deepcool AK400 leftover from another PC build so put this on there and now it idles at 40 and doesn't go over 60 degrees playing games.
