I installed this processor in a mini itx configuration (in case size) on a motherboard asus z871pro-c2. no concern noted on the side of the installation. My usage is very oriented office and photo editing and video. For use not aware of particular change with my old configuration (intel core q6600 2,4ghz). by cons for heavier applications you feel immediately change. For a video conversion that is 2.5 times faster. For the photo, I open some very greedy software resources (RAM), up to 4 applications and configuration cash without flinching. level operating temperature, I installed a cooler noctua, with an inaudible fan (which runs at 230 trs) and a temperature not exceeding 30 ° in common use even 33 ° at full load. I configured the processor to take advantage of performance suitable for my use. It is not uncommon that the processor is fixed at a frequency of 800mhz for surfing on the internet. the video portion is decent and perfectly suited to the office. for games, we must not count on it.
short, a very powerful processor, little warmer, very interesting turbo function to accelerate the operation of resource-intensive applications.
