    This has been a trip but I am using this since I do not trust the newer generations of CPUs.
    I chose 8th gen versus 10/11/12th generation since I am trying (Actually Doing Now) dual booting Windows 7 & 10.
    Just remember that you NEED a compatible MOBO if your going to be doing that. Also remember that Microsoft and Intel are trying to STOP PEOPLE FROM USING OLDER OPERATING SYSTEMS, actually putting impedences in the CPUs to not run those operating systems anymore.
    Intel i5-8500 is stable, great speed and base clock at 3 GHz ramps up to 3.99 GHz without tweaking any profiles.

    My Setup:
    MSI MAG B365M MORTAR
    Intel i5-8500
    MSI Geforce GTX 1050ti
    (2x) WD Blue HDD 1TB

    **All I want to do is use photoshop and emulate PS2 games. Does the latter perfectly fine, and yet do the former but no doubt will run like butter. Shadow of the Colossus and Gran Turismo 3 run at 60fps at 720p with only 30% usage of CPU and GPU, max spike 60%. At 1080p 38-52% CPU and 50% GPU usage, max spike 70% for both CPU/GPU.**

    Works as advertised. Box cooler is ugly but works great. I do lots of video rendering/encoding and found this to be a good value, however it is my bottleneck at this time, using NVENC on my GTX 1070. If you've got another $150-ish dollars grab the i7.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A pleasant surprise
    Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    This purchase was to replace a 9900K that was roasting and wasting away in a 2U Microserver. I have to admit that at first, I was skeptical. No worries! The i5-8500 with 6 cores and 630 Igpu has done its job with my plex server and runs at a cool 94/106 Fh. I did not use the stock cooler, however, instead, I used the Noctua NH-L9x65, Premium Low-Profile CPU Cooler (65mm, Brown) found here on Amazon. The 6 cores are more than enough to serve files and the i9 9900K is back to a safe place in another pc. I hope this helps someone. Good luck and Godspeed.

    I love this little processor. I bought it in a machine that I use for mostly web browsing and playing games. It is a champ. They have also made these a lot easier to install than what I remember by getting rid of the pins. With the six cores, I felt it wasn’t worth the cost of going to an i7 and have not been disappointed.
