Great product
becky
Its kinda a strange processor for the x299 platform, only 16 pci-e lanes. but its the fastest 4 cores in the set and if youre a gamer i think its about as good as it gets.

Everything works very well and smoothly, and the clock speed speaks for itself. Four cores with hyper-threading are a plus for some purposed also. On my EVGA x-299 micro, everything works smoothly and very well without overclocking. Thus far the processor has seemed very stable, smooth and responsive on the above board with 2666 ddr 4, and Crucial m-2 drive, in addition to 2 other volumes. There is no onboard graphics so one discrete video card or more is required. Also, this processor does not have a feature that is required to support Windows 11, but that really does not matter to me, because Windows 10 is still available and very similar to the former, mostly except for a few ways settings are organized. For standard, better performance, desktop use with medium high gaming, this processor and price point may be as good as one needs to be.
wily
does exactly what i purchased it for
