The processes itself is very good. 4 Cores and 8 Threads is perfect for a mid to high range gaming Pc and is also very reliable when it comes to light content creation. My only complaint is that the stock heat sink that comes with the CPU is extremely tedious to install. It was extremely stressful as the screws were very difficult to tighten so the screwdriver would slip of the screw and scratch the Motherboard. You will definitely need a helping hand to install the heat-sink.
