I love this processor! It simply destroys anything I throw at it. Maxed out all of the latest games and my dual R9 280s are the bottleneck.
1 issue: The included cooler is more fit for a 2.0ghz Socket 478 celeron. This thing reaches 100 degrees in under 2 minutes playing Battlefield 4 on ultra, and on high it takes about an hour before it BSODs due to temperature. The entire surface is coated with Arctic silver 5 so that ain't the problem. I'm installing a coolermaster T4 tomorrow and seeing how it plays out.

Good processor for over clocking. Will have to use it for a while to see how well it last.

From AMD 8350 to this. All I have is one sentence...WHY DID I NOT DO THIS SOONER! Runs extremely cools at a nice and comfortable 38c under load with a Noctua NH-U12S 44c on a warm day in Odessa, Texas. This paired with a 970 im literally having a hard time trying to figure out what I cant max out with 50+ fps average.

It's hard to gauge a processor. For the most part, they tend to all work the same and provide similar speeds. Unless you're an enthusiast trying to eke out every meager megahertz you can, this is a perfectly fine processor for a gamer. In CPU-intensive MMO's like World of Warcraft I instantly jumped from 30 fps in the world to a straight 60 (and usually higher if I turn off v-sync). Computer boots super fast (mostly due to the SSD) and programs are responsive. Multi-threaded applications, including ones I design, work well. Overall a fine, stable chip.
