    Nice budget CPU that can clock well, good option if you only need 4 cores.

    Fairly cheap CPU that can be over clocked. Usuful for people like me who play games that are more single threaded like me (X-Plane 11, P3DV4). Cheaper than a 7600k/7700K. However, to get the max speed, you need to have a AIO cooler and it's better to delid. 1 start of for Intels crappy TIM! I run at 4.8Ghz. 1.375v, max 82 Deg after 30 mins Prime. Games are about 15-20 degrees cooler (Prime is very aggressive!), another thing to mention is that the silicon used on this CPU means a 4.9Ghz seems to be the max it can hit, even if voltage and temperature are within limits. For a budget build it's a good CPU, but obviously it's not going to be a great seller now that 6 cores and more are the minimum more popular and future games. At least in a year or two, you can pop in a 8700k for an upgrade, unless you want to go to Icelake.

    • Cheap(ish)
    • 4.8Ghz possible*
    • Messing up a Delid shouldn't bankrupt you (is that a positive!!)
    • Runs 4.8Ghz in a mATX case on an ITX board

    Contra

    • *4.8Ghz requires AIO cooling.
    • Delid is recommended
    • Runs hot at high Ghz on air cooling

    A little expensive

    The processor is pretty good. Since it has 4 cores from the 8th generation, it is on the same level as the earlierene i5. With a Gigabyte mATX board and the Thermalright Macho 2 cooler, I was able to overclock the CPU to 4.8 GHz @ approx. 1.3-1.35 V.
    Unfortunately, it is a bit expensive for the performance. With a few francs more, you already get a non-K i5 with 6 cores.

    Fully meets my expectations

    I had set out to build 4 identical, versatile configurations.
    This product was a perfect match in terms of price and performance.
