Excellent value! Solid chip, with the ability for some fun overclocking.
5 Stars
Excellent value! Solid chip, with the ability for some fun overclocking.
This was a gift for a friend, for an entry-level gaming rig. Using watercooling, I was able to get this overclocked in the lower 4ghz range. The only stability issue it had was when playing Fallout 4. I was able to trace this to how the CPU was handling cache. Clocking down to the upper 3ghz range fixed it.This was coupled with 2 MSI 270X GPU's in a Crossfire array, on a Gigabyte Z97MX motherboard. Fallout 4 had no issues in Ultra mode. Arma 3 and other games were able to play just under Ultra mode, very smoothly.
