## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome chip if you have the cash
*by A***H on 23 February 2019*

I paired it witha corsair H150i rgb pro cooler and its temps sit around 30 deg on idle and 50 ish under load. I coudlnt quite get mine to 5ghz under overclocking but I'm happy with 4.8 over 8 cores and 16 threads.I feel that this chip sits right on the balance point of price versus performance for the x299 chips.Highly recomended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Amazon Prime Deal
*by B***P on 5 January 2018*

Amazing price for Prime subscribers, bought to upgrade a PC that was running a older i7 that my new Rift didn't get on with too well.VR is now a dream, you can really get lost in the world and it's as smooth as anything. Please remember to get a decent cooler to use this with though, you don't want to get it too over-heated

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb. Beats the competition hands down.
*by D***Y on 11 January 2018*

Top CPU in 12 out of 16 reviews of games and equal second or third in others. Not so quick as the multicore CPUs as you'd expect so you pays your money and takes your choice. Takes 112W so you'll need a good stable powerful PS and fan/cooler.For the money you cannot find a more potent chip.Very overclockable with the right board they say.
