I have useed this to build a new Windows 11 PC (my previous desktop system was not suitable to upgrade from Windows 10). I like that it is a low wattage unit so I didn't need to go big on cooling and it has built in graphics capabilities so at present i don't need a graphics card. It won't run any serious games so is probably no good for gamers but my needs (office, browsing, visual studio, you tube videos) it's perfect.

Works well. Decent speed. The stock cooler is a bit loud, even on low load

Brilliant product, delivery on time and cheaper than competitors

A cracking processor for gaming or general computing. Suitable motherboards aren't the cheapest but they'll soon come down in price. The only let down is the included Intel cooler. When the cpu is under load and getting hotter the cooler sounds like it's about to take off. I definitely recommend replacing it with an aftermarket cooler.

My product came exactly as ordered in perfect condition

Upgraded from a i5-6400, Huge improvment. Before I wasn't able to run Warzone and discord together, running virtual machines was slow aswell and gaming performance was potato reaching up-to 100% cpu utilisation on every triple A level game titles which left no room for my PC to work on other tasks. Paired with a 3060ti, the 6-cores and the increased instruction per clock (IPC) now allows it to carry out tasks without a CPU bottleneck, as of early 2022 it runs every game perfectly without an issue. The stock cooler isn't great when the CPU reaches 4ghz+ you'll be reaching high of 70 degrees (Very Hot) with the fan speed maxed out which can be annoying as its very loud and without proper airflow (which is a must) can heat up and even melt your side panel. One way to solve that would be to get a custom air cooler or lower the maximum processor state that way it will never reach 4ghz but it be a lot quieter and still give great performance. If your going with a 3rd-party cooler with this CPU and have good airlfow, then I reccomened it, however if you're on a tighter budget than I reccomend the 12400 as a better value for money option.

Super smooth CPU not stress tested it but Windows 11 running great I'm not a gamer more web browsing, watching video and using office suite, had no issues at all. Using stock cooler temps are low and cannot really hear the fan.
