Pros & Cons
Pros
It runs flawlessly on windows 11 and plays flawlessly with my rtx 3060ti. It doesn't even hiccup when i'm using photoshop and lightroom consecutively. It runs smoothly on linux and handles multiple programs and browsers without any lag or stuttering. ... Read More
Am4 still has a lot to offer for anyone who can't afford the latest and greatest offerings. It’s a great product from a leading brand that delivers on its promises. It works great for any 30 series and under you can't beat the price.
Cons
It was overpriced from the factory, especially compared to the predecessor. I'm disgusted by amd and this point and will switch to the intel chips for a few bucks more and save the headaches for the next chump. Amazon does not have the capacity/abilit... Read More

Highlights
Quality
Really happy with the performance i'm getting out of it!
So far it’s held up amazingly with the programs i run.
I think i was a bit heavy with the thermal paste.
Price
The price did fluctuate quite a bit on amazon, from $153 to $205.
Packaging/appearance
Going from the old days of the am3 amds and running the old high wattage fx9590 8-core 4.
Competitiveness
I do reccomend a noctua cooler though, as they offer the best air cooling in the industry.
Had a first generation ryzen and it was time to upgrade.
If you want to use this cpu for games more demanding than roblox you will want to pick up a better cooler.
I was going to use a ryzen 1500x but decided that i should do a more updated build for him.
