It was a good upgrade from my locked i5 2500. My chip managed to get up to 3.9ghz OC with reasonable voltages (1.35v) and 4.0 with 1.445v on the vCore which is pretty run of the mill. The cooler included was quite hefty and much better than the stock coolers from Intel. It could sustain a 3.8–3.9ghz OC quite easily with temps around 70~ degrees though I swapped it for a 240 AIO Radiator (was already in my system). The teething issues were mostly gone from Ryzens launch and it has good memory support now. Hitting 3200mhz on the ram was as easy as a click of a button in the BIOS (if not already default) and AMD's Ryzen Master tool was great for overclocking. This was probably the easiest chips I've worked with when it comes to overclocks in the past (my i5 2500 was a stopgap CPU).

Probably the best value for money when considering most aspects of computing.
