The product is good, there are only a few minor flaws.

You can take! The stone has a very large margin of safety: I set it so that it works at 0.650V - 1.050V, at full load it works at 0.990V. In this mode, the temperature is 60-70C. I'm waiting for the board to be ated so that I don't put  1.250-1.300v on the drain. There is no talk of overclocking at all - by 4.7 on the drain 100 degrees (without downvolt). Even if there is no desire to overclock, it is necessary to scalp the processor.

Pros

Very fast processor for the money, very high quality memory controller. The bios of the motherboard is raw, but this did not stop me from using the 3466 memory in overclocking to 3733. In single-channel mode, any bar is chasing up to 4000, it keeps the percentage!

Cons

It heats up too much - on a cheap dropsy, the temperature reaches 100 degrees, and judging by the specifications, this is normal, but not acceptable for me. In fact, the device does not work out of the box - if you just put constant overheating guaranteed.
