So I was stuck on Windows 10 with my LGA 1151 core i7-6700. This processor at an affordable price more than doubled, maybe tripled my cpu performance while still accepting my older DDR4 3200 ram and m.2 storage. Also allows me to update my machine to Windows 11 as a 13th gen cpu. I considered running 8th gen chip in my older mother board by flashing the bios with a coffee lake chip support, but rather than deal with all the isolation on the cpu pins and bios frustration, i opted to spend 60 bucks for a new MATX board and this cpu. The only complaint I have is the cpu box was clearly opened and I am left wondering if this was dropped into someone else's board at some point and returned. I don't like that when the product is being advertised as new. The seller was Amazon LLC too so I am not sure what is going on with that. I have half a mind to return it for a replacement but alas it is installed and seems to be running fine so I really don't want to pack it up and ship it back. My chip runs pretty cool with the stock fan, 3d mark cpu stress tests never took it above 71C but that fan sure kicked in when the cpu was running at 100% utilization. At idle on my computer the chip purrs along at 30-35C with the fan running somewhere around 40%. All in all a good purchase to get my machine ready for Win 11. Will work for a budget gaming build but expect to pay a little more for a good GPU.

Excelente para juegos, buenas temperaturas pero el disipador stock es un poco ruidoso...

For the price this is an amazing mid to high range cpu. I've had this for a few weeks now and it works great.

No issues with the speed but the stock cooler is no good in some more new games but other than that an exelent processor for mid range pc.

Im suuuuuper new to building pc's so it was my first time ever doing this.
Very easy to figure how it goes into the motherboard with these little arrows on the corner. And also it is realllyy powerful for what it is it can handle all the way up to the 4070 ti which is verrry good
