Great processor, especially when water-cooled. Pros below: Performance and stability in any tasks and games. Works in assembly with ASUS B550-E GAMING, RTX 3080, 2x8 G. SKILL 4000c15. Curve Optimizer works wonders: -30 on all cores gives +10% performance and -5 degrees. The only thing is, with CO -30 on all cores, any attempt to set "Max CPU Boost Clock Override" above "0MHz" leads to spontaneous reboots. Cons below: Disadvantages about the assembly and do not apply to the processor :) 1. When assembled with an RTX 3080, the graphics card will seriously heat up the CPU air-cooling heatsink, which causes a drop in operating frequencies and unstable operation. I had to replace the air cooling Noctua NH-D15 with 280 dropsy and set it to blowing. As a result, with disabled limits, the temperature dropped from 44 to 30 in anticipation and from 95 to 80 in AIDA64, the stability problem was solved :) 2. If you have an ASUS motherboard, then I strongly do not recommend installing any software from their website: ARMORY CRATE, AI SUITE, drivers, etc. All of the above software resulted in an overall performance drop of up to 20% and GPU load issues in Cyberpunk 2077. You can get rid of the consequences by performing a clean reinstallation of the system.
