Needs the best cooling but a powerfull processor !. Has brief temperature/power spikes causing occasional throttling but not noticeable in games. 100% stable so far and a good purchase. Shame it has a few components around the lid as would benefit from liquid metal compound to the heatsink. May need windows 11 to get the max benefit (better task sheduling).
Expensive, but loads of headroom for easy overclocking

This processor seemed like an expensive option, but it performs so well, i couldn't be happier about choosing it. Easy overclocks to run at 5.7ghz (using simple settings and not advanced tweaks) and with an AIO it doesn't get hot at all. Very stable, and i'm sure I could make it clock a lot higher if i needed it too as well.
