The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

1) I did not expect such performance from the built-in video core! If I had a monitor, for example, 1280x1024, then I'm sure it would be quite possible to play on it. 2) When buying, I chose between this processor and the Pentium Dual-Core G4500, but firstly, the built-in is completely firewood, secondly, the price is one and a half times higher, and thirdly, the multiplier is blocked. Of course, the G4500 is noticeably faster than the stock 7400k, but overclocking to 4.2GHz with at least 1600…

Pros
  • 1) Excellent chasing up to 4.3 GHz without raising the voltage (if you raise it, then I'm sure it will take 4.5) 2) For the sake of fun, I launched such games as Crossout, Burnout Paradise, War Thunder in FullHD in FullHD and almost fell off my chair when they gave out a stable 25-30 FPS on medium settings (Burnout Paradise is more, of course) :D 3) Overclocking scores 2200 points in the CPU-Z test 4) If you don’t understand overclocking, then there is a utility on the disk from the kit that automatically selects overclocking parameters, just run it and leave for 30 minutes, the program will do everything for you =)
Cons
  • No L3 cache - for normal operation, you will need at least 1600 MHz memory, and preferably 1866

The stock fan is very quiet and cools the chip to the point where it's only happened a couple of times.

This processor was purchased with the intention of replacing it with an upgrade fairly soon. I paired it with an MSI A88xm motherboard and 8GB Adata 1866MHz RAM. It works so well that an update will have to wait. The stock fan is very quiet and keeps the chip cool to a point where the motherboard has only used the case fan a handful of times for additional cooling. When I monitored the APU, it was usually in the low 50s Celsius (well below any danger zone). It plays all the games my son and I…

The worst processor out there!

Don't let the integrated graphics and clock speed fool you, after a month of use I'm returning it as it's the worst processor I've ever had. This cpu came out in 2014, i looked it up in cpu benchmarks and compared it to my previous i5-650 which was a 3.2ghz dual core with a worse clock speed than this one and it threw the a6 by 3000 points from the water. This processor is only good for a certain amount of performance, and even then it doesn't perform well. Save $63 and buy a used and better…

I had a very crappy old computer that I wanted to throw away.

I had a very crappy old computer that I wanted to throw away. I spoke to my stepmother's son and he showed me this product. I bought it, put it into a build, paired it with 8GB of Ballistix Sport RAM, and it completely upgraded the computer. I can run League of Legends in 1080p at 60-80 fps, I can run CS:GO in 720p at 55-60 fps, and I can run Grid Auto Sport in 720p at 60-70 fps. All in all an excellent APU, and for the price it's hard to beat. 10/10 would recommend to anyone on a budget.
