Good quality product, I rate this purchase excellent.

Bought back in 2022. Went with me for 3 years of my PhD. Used for modeling, was under maximum load for weeks without a break. Works like a Swiss watch.
Pros below:
- 6 cores on a Sandy Bridge-E chip, what else to add?
- support for 4-channel memory
- a lot of cache
- LGA 2022
- unlocked for overclocking, 3.2 GHz easily turns into 3.8
Different cons:
- 32 nm, eats a lot of energy
- does not support DDR4
- out of date for 2022
- each core is weak individually, if not overclocked.
