Perfect for my use. I use a lot of software rather greedy (UDK, blender, 3 ds max, of c4, etc.) and all work seamlessly. I also play a lot and I have not yet encountered auquelle games I would not have managed to play (is without lag) with this cpu and gex 660 Asus oc. Turns 30 ° cooled by a heatpipe be quiet advanced c1, I recommend the original cooler as any original cooler. Was the embalage niquel without problem as toujour expensive amazon. Briefly I recommend.
