The product did not disappoint, the quality pleases.

Processor "crystal". He died after being transported in the back seat of a car under a not very heavy cooler with a relatively flat base Zalman CNPX10 Performa. As a result, the processor, fortunately, was replaced by the supplier, but the computer was reassembled already at the place of operation and will never move anywhere from there.

I took it to replace the i7-2600 for video encoding, it turned out to be only 25% faster and not colder at all.

I strongly recommend to remove the cooler heavier than the boxed cooler for any transportation of the PC.

Pros

Fast processor and DDR4 (in the future it will be cheaper than DDR3 per gigabyte)

Cons

It heats up, but the most important thing is thin textolite. Despite the high frequency of DDR4, due to high timings in real applications, the increase is not so great.
