I don't know at the moment what this processor is worth. Installation, thermal paste OK. I'm waiting to see what it will do over time.
Processor mounted on an ASRock Jupiter H470 with 2x8 GB DDR4 2133 MHz RAM and a 480 GB SATA SSD. Under Linux, it runs perfectly well for internet browsing and office activities.
The processor is a bit more limited for multitasking when computing operations are in progress (gaming, numerical calculation, etc).
It remains a very good entry-level model, especially for the price.
Installed on an ASRock Jupiter H470 mini-PC, which I equipped with a 500 GB SSD and 2x8 GB DDR3 2133 MHz RAM. The processor is up to the task for all the office tasks it is designed for.
For more computationally intensive tasks (e.g. MATLAB calculations, some games, etc.), it can become quite limited, and it is better to use a more powerful CPU.
No regrets after a year of use - very stable, no issues encountered. Runs great for: video games/graphics - Don't abuse multitasking
Mounted in an office configuration on an ASRock H470M-HDV
with Textorm 16GB DDR4 2666, this is a small configuration with a very good price/performance ratio.
