    A powerful CPU but heats up a lot.

    Coupled with an Asus Z790 and a Corsair AIO in 360, it's pure bliss for any application. I'm just coming off an I9 900K and the gain is enormous.

    But be careful, because the CPU in stock heats up enormously. It reaches 98 degrees under heavy load, even with my AIO.
    I did an undervolt to be on the safe side.
    So a powerful CPU. But it needs to be OC for me.

    Great nothing to say :)

    I ordered the complete PC assembly without the Windows installation and frankly everything was fine, I have nothing to say about it, it was very well organised and the customer service I spoke to before the purchase was very good.
