I'm satisfied, the product is exactly as described.

At the nominal frequency, it works stably with a core voltage of 1.2W, which allows you to completely solve possible problems with cooling. Overclocking was limited to 3380MHz (260x13) at 1.34V (with Cooler Master N520). At the same time, the system successfully passes the OCCT test, heating the processor up to 60 degrees. Further overclocking is impossible, because the temperature exceeds the critical level and the system loses stability.

Pros

Low price, 4 cores, L3 cache - in particular, a great option for upgrading an old system (just be sure that the motherboard supports it; also note - it is not compatible with AM3).

Cons

TDP 125W is actually too much. If ever I buy such a hot processor again, then only if its price is as good as this one is now.
