    Nickel

    Super processor I advise you really well for gaming and office automation but if you take it do not hesitate to take a graphics card that goes with it!

    thanks intel ;)

    a good processor, powerful and affordable, certainly there are better now but this i5 is full of resources and sufficient for what I expect from it, a little bit of everything and a little bit of fps gaming

    Perfect

    Works perfectly, it's been up for 1 year and still runs great. It has run all the games I asked it to run without any problem, and it still had some in reserve (FF14, Division 2, Metro Exodus ...). Very good investment

    Niquel

    Nothing to complain about, this processor does the job it is asked to do. It's a pity that there is no tool to mount it (the small base to pinch). Otherwise it's very easy to install.
    No overclocking on this motherboard but the processor hardly heats up with a cheap ventiRAD.
    5*.

    i5 but strong

    I took an i5 to save money, but this one is a K and so it's just as good for office work as it is for gaming (overclock). Let's talk about gaming ... knowing that most software consumes GPU resources and not CPU resources, this i5 is great for 90% of last generation games if you have a good graphics card. There are some games that also require a lot of CPU effort if you want to run in Ultra and 4K. For the rest, I'm "digging it", as my RTX takes care of everything and the CPU keeps sleeping during my mind-boggling online games ....
    I hope you all enjoy the game.

    Very good

    I couldn't be happier with this processor. It is mounted on a Z7390 UD and 16 GB of RAM. Large programs run simultaneously without any problems.

    A processor still in the running.

    For my needs, it does its job well.
    No worries, and I didn't need more.
    it is powerful enough for what I need it to do (games, designs and office automation).
    it doesn't heat up with the right venti-rad.
