The product is worse than ever, disappointed with the purchase.

For half a year everything was fine, it worked in normal mode, with the Gigabyte AORUS z370 Gaming 5 motherboard, and Palit GeForce GTX 1080TI JetStream Edition 11Gb, and 16gb Patriot Viper 4, Mhz was cooled by Enermax Liqmax II 240, under load the temperature reached 78 degrees in tests, in games about 65 degrees. As you understand, the assembly of the PC is top-notch, all this took a huge amount of money, for that kind of money everything should work like clockwork. In general, the percentage purchased with the PC in December 2022 worked until April 29, 2022, then he died safely, the system constantly crashed with a variety of BSODs. Sinned for anything but the processor. I checked all my components separately from the processor for obviously working ones, they worked without problems. Installed percents in other materinka, and at once BSOD began. All components work fine without this processor. When this percent was put, BSOD immediately began. The OEM supply also does not include the Intel warranty. The store refused to change, waited about two months, while they sent it to Intel, returned it as if it was working. It passes stress tests, including Intel, BSOD crashes chaotically, at any time of work, most often in idle time. The first screenshot before sending the processor to the store, the last one after receiving the defective processor back, tests continue, created a ticket in Intel. But apparently they will not replace it for me, because Intel does not guarantee OEM processors. They have an interesting policy . but if you buy in a box, then everything is ok. 27 thousand down the drain.

Pros
  • Excellent CPU performance in 100++ fps gaming, rendering, and just multi-threading. Allows you to run a bunch of applications and nothing slows down or freezes.
Cons
  • Extremely low reliability, and apparently a large percentage of marriage. No warranty of any kind for OEM deliveries.
