Pro:
- Very good performance in games and with restriction for video editing (processors with six / eight cores are here but a clear advantage.)
- Currently the best value for money for players
- Future proof as overclockable (approximately 4.5 GHz, some report clock rates up to 5.2GHz)
- Easy installation
- Boxed cooler does its job quietly and reliably, even if the assembly requires little patience (clips raced not good one)
Cons: nothing worth mentioning
- Boxed cooler enough (of course) not for overclocking
- Pretty high price to pay, for example in connection with an appropriate motherboard Asrock Z68 Pro 3 gene 3 (currently still 85).
