A practical product, nothing to complain about.

When buying, do not think that you will go and be able to overclock this processor to 4.2GHz (as far as it seems to me, only 10% of the stones can do this). Most specimens hardly take 4.1 GHz at sufficiently high voltages. For example, my stone can only work stably at 4.05 @ 1.35V, and then it does not chase even at 1.42V. Stability checks were made in prime95 small fft, although games seem to work on 42022). Therefore, if the boxed version is cheap enough, I would take it (for complex calculations, I don’t recommend the boxed version), and you will only have memory as an overclock. My memory, Corsair 3466 LPX on b-die, runs at 14-14-14-24-38 3266@1.36V and fairly low secondary timings.
Also, after playing a bit of games, I noticed that, for example, AC: Origins in some places uses up to 95% of the CPU (no background tasks, maximum graphics settings), which most likely also makes a choice in favor of 2600x instead of 8600k.

Pros

Price Performance

Cons

If you have a motherboard without the function of setting offset'a vCore, then PBO will require too high voltages (for x10 cores, I get up to 1.55V, 1.5 Vcore) => higher heating => lower frequency. (For example, MSI controllers on x470 support offset voltage, but this is not implemented in the BIOS. Although MSI installed good mosfets even on the cheapest x470 boards, it turns out that their products make sense only for 2600 and 2700 without X) The possibility of overclocking (or is it a virtue?) PBO x10 in my case gives out only 3.9 GHz in Cinebench (~ 1340) for all cores, with fairly good cooling (in the reviews, apparently, they also set the process in real time) Heat dissipation (sudden temperature fluctuations, looks worse than thermal gum)
