The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

In fact, before buying, I understood that I was playing the lottery, but I decided and have no regrets. I turned on the standard ASUS Auto Tuning utility in the extreme overclocking mode and walked away from the computer for 10 - 15 minutes. When I returned, I went nuts. The processor was already overclocked to 4930 MHz and tested for stability. Now I installed 4800 MHz and enjoy life. I didn't even have to go into bios. The maximum temperatures at maximum load at 4930 MHz did not even reach 90 degrees for the cores. Maybe now there are new revisions with normal thermal interfaces under the lid, I don’t know, but the fact is that the new product is definitely not inferior to its predecessors in my case. It is interesting, of course, to what frequency the percent would have been accelerated if I had not stopped the overclocking utility.

Pros
  • At the same frequencies faster than 2500k by 5-7%. A huge plus - it gives maximum performance for everyday tasks (including in any games), without losing at the same time 3770. At the same time, the price difference between the processors is huge.
Cons
  • Did not live up to expectations in terms of temperature characteristics. Not even mine, because I knew about it before buying, but rather all those who were waiting for a new product, wanting to get more opportunities for overclocking.
