    Good processor. Good fan after processor optimization

    The processor is good (see the different tests).
    The ventirad is good but it is advised to optimize the processor settings: underclock and undervolt. I took as setting 4400 mz and 1.15v (it does not lose performance). After a one hour gaming session, the processor did not exceed 68° with the prism fan in low position (silent)
    In high position, the fan is noisy

    Powerful processor

    I went from an AMD Phenom II X955 to this processor, and 10 years of evolution feels good!
    Now I'm no longer ridiculous compared to my children's PCs and I join them in online games in much less time than before!

    I have no opinion about the Wraith Prism ventirad, I replaced it with a Noctua NH-U9S to be sure to be well cooled and quiet.
