One of the best value mid-range CPU 5 years since its release. I've been using this CPU for gaming for over 3 years and it still holds up quite well if you're not aiming for high-end gaming. Consistent 144 FPS on games like Valorant or Apex Legends when a lot of things are happening is not possible, but still holds up at 100~ FPS. It runs the the most recent AAA games at 60 FPS with no problems. It's also very fast and reliable for everyday tasks as it never goes BSOD at all (using Win 11 + AtlasOS). With an aftermarket CPU fan you can unleash its full potential by overclocking it. A worthy keeper for a long time until I can find the right time to upgrade.
