Greater than one weekI am using this in my first PC build and it was pretty easy to install and seems like a really good value for the price-point.

> 3 dayI think this CPU offers GREAT value for the money. I runs everything at full settings (with 3060 GPU) and stays cool with Noctua air cooling. Recommended!

> 3 dayTo think that an i5 nowadays has 14 cores/20 threads is just crazy. This CPU is very capable and handles anything I throw at it with ease. Does the average user really need even an i7 or i9 at this point?

> 3 dayLast home assembled PC lasted us about 12 years. Hopefully this newest setup will last 10 years too. Yes I spent a little more to have the newest, but not the most powerful technology. I have left room for upgrades in the future if I ever need to.
