An ideal product for any type of consumer.

In overall, the acquisition meets all of the expectations. There is still some work to be done with the support for more dividers for the memory frequency; hence, I am unable to begin using DDR4-3200. When the mode is changed from 2400 to 3200, the machine starts resetting the video card settings to 800x600 when the PC boots, and only after 5 seconds has passed. However, when the mode is changed back to 2133, everything functions well. brings everything back to normal. I really hope this is only a temporary issue and that Asus will correct everything in the next set of bios updates.

Pros

Coffee Lake operates at 14 nm plus, has 6 cores, and 12 threads. Actually a change in technique, rather than the standard 5% gain in performance. I had no problem agreeing to a frequency of 5 GHz, but anything higher than that is unnecessary for me. On a Deepcool Captain 120 EX water bottle and a small itx Tristellar SW case, depending on the selected mode of operation of the PC cooling system (silent, standart, turdbo, or full speed), the temperature ranged from 35-50 degrees Celsius when the system was idle, but under load, temperatures beyond 67 were not seen in any of the operating modes cooling systems.

Cons

Intel was unable to produce a sufficient quantity of CPUs because of competition from AMD and an earlier (nearly an entire quarter) release date. Speculators did not fail to take advantage of this situation. I did not have time to place an order for 27, and by the time I went to another store an hour later, the time had gone passed 30. the day before, the price tags were already 32, 35, and 39; nevertheless, when the price tag reached 41, I discovered that it was available for 35,600 thousand. The old computer that was on 3770 has already been taken away.
