    Good for simple multitasking like a workstation. At the low end of the budget, it's worth its money for someone who doesn't want anything special, like overclocking, etc. With ample RAM and a decent GPU, it sets up a good machine for everything. Definitely don't rely on the integrated graphics though, they can't handle anything.

    I changed my old processor (AMD ATHLON) with this one, simultaneously changing the motherboard as well. What impressed me the most about the previous motherboard-processor combination I had in my PC is that before, after 30-60 minutes of usage (depending on what I was doing), it would get quite hot (I could feel the heat on the case), but now even if I leave my PC on for 24 hours straight, I can barely feel any warmth when I touch the case, and even during demanding games, the temperature increase is minimal.
    The difference compared to before is not just noticeable, but impressive.
    Other than that, the computer works faster (although the temperature difference is not that significant) and some minor crashes that I experienced before in certain applications have now disappeared.

    Very good processor!!! It has left me completely satisfied so far, even though I haven't stressed it enough!!! Anyway, it handles gaming at 1080p and general multitasking comfortably... In terms of temperatures, with an Arctic Freezer 34 esports duo, it hasn't gone above 52 degrees... of course, I also have good airflow in the case... Overall, very reliable for midrange - high end PC gaming!!!

    Guys, the processor is amazing even though it doesn't have overclocking capabilities. It outperforms the previous i7 4770 that I used for my work. It's worth every penny, even if you're building a high-end system.

    The processor is simply the best at this price. I paired it with a 1660ti and 16 GB of RAM, and I can play all games at 1080p with max graphics very well. For example, LOL at 350fps, CS:GO at 150-200, Fortnite at 100-200, Valorant at 200. I've had it for 4 months and I've never experienced any lag in any game. Every time I have at least 4 other applications open and I haven't seen my fps drop. Additionally, you can easily do school work as the processor allows you to have multiple applications open without any lag. I highly recommend it

    The processor is very powerful, I have a GTX 1660 6GB and it combines well and has good performance and temperatures. It plays Warzone at high settings with 80-90fps and League of Legends at 340fps, and it handles everything smoothly.
