I was surprised by the quality for the price.

When installing, I could not fix the radiator for a long time - I could not attach the second clamp in any way. As a result, he did this by holding the metal plate on the back of the motherboard on the other side. I don't know if this is a peculiarity of the boxed heatsink, or if there is such a mount on the board itself. In the end, everything ended well :). By the way, in the first two days the processor heats up, and then it gets colder in operation - probably the thermal paste layer warms up. At idle, the temperature is 40-42, with a load of 48-50.

Pros

An excellent fast processor, today it is even for growth - most users are unlikely to use all its power. The boxed version comes with an excellent heatsink. According to the nix rating, this model surpasses all i5.

Cons
