Pros & Cons
Cons
From then on the mobo wouldn't boot with more than 1 stick of ram. Your money will be better spent reinvested in 3d cache chip later in the next couple of years. Intel is a better performing processor and more versatile.
Highlights
Quality
For gaming, it gives great performance over the am4 cpu i had.
I gave the noctua nh-u12 (whichever one has 6 heat pipes and 2 fans and it handled it with ease.
Competitiveness
I've topped this cpu with thermaltake contac silent 12 150w and now enjoying with constant squeal of a circular saw.
