Revainrating 5 out of 5

A good quality product, I rate this purchase perfectly.

The first thing I would like to say is that it does not matter if you took a stone with a locked multiplier or an unlocked one. at stock frequencies with turbo boost - and this is a lot. The best specimens are able to work at 1.1-12022v - but this is rare. Most operate in the 12022-12022 range. Even in the worst case, if a bad copy comes across, it will work at 1.2-1.22v (I have not seen worse). Secondly, we ate the BIOS without fail, since jambs are often fixed in them and the functionality is finished. I would also advise you to manually set the voltage for the memory (based on what kind of memory it costs - frequency, timings, voltage), as well as manually set VCCIO and VCCSA, since they are very overpriced out of the box. And I would not advise you to set the first and last values ​​of LLC - if you have already decided, set the average values, for most users this will be enough. Enthusiasts already know what and how to exhibit and often do at their own peril and risk . PS: I would also not advise leaving a stock cooler or a mini tower on 2-3 heat pipes. It is advisable to take care of good cooling in advance (a tower with at least 4 heat pipes). For more comfortable temperatures and less noise, you need to use towers with 6-8 heat pipes and preferably with two fans

Pros
  • - Excellent performance on both core and multithread in general - It is advisable to get confused and spend time to choose the voltage exactly for your specimen - this way you will get a more stable system, lower temperatures of the VRM zone and the stone itself, which will contribute to a longer operating period - The price tag has become more humane, you should not overpay for an unlocked multiplier, as you may come across a not very successful copy, which even on an expensive motherboard will not be able to take + 200-300 megahertz in excess
Cons
  • -
