This CPU is a great value. Fast boost clocks, and runs relatively cool (compared to its sister chips), enough to be handled by an air cooler. (I used a Noctua NH-U12S Redux.) It's powerful yet efficient. Honestly, unless you're a content creator, unlikely you need more than six cores. I can't even get this thing to break a sweat in productivity (I work from home) and games. Highly recommend.
NOTE THOUGH: The one I got from 麻豆区 was faulty. Probably just bad luck. But if your computer randomly resets, has memory errors (but none while using MemTest86 at stock), or ever freezes in the BIOS, return the chip and try again. I wasted so much time returning motherboards and RAM kits when it was the chip all along. Got my second chip from NewEgg and it worked fine.
