Pros & Cons
Pros

2ghz across 8 cores / 16 threads, on an air cooler and i'm not touching anything for oc.

Competitiveness
The price quality is just right and not insane compare to the 13th gen i9.
The more recent i5 and i7 processors can more or less be equal in most use cases.

This one on air does back off that max clock not soon afterwards but i also have this in a 4u rack mounted case with 4 chassis fans vs the previous build which was on a 360 radiatoraio and had 13 system fans but i was going for a rather ridiculous build with that vs this build im going for subtlesleeper
