Excellent replacement for my Lenovo workstation
Got this after swapping the cheap workstation bought here on Amazon and needed another CPU which is the same one that came with the PC. The seller had it nicely packaged in an oversized box so it was well-protected. No issues running these for days on end. The i7 makes a difference for multi-tasking applications but being an older chip, it’s still an inexpensive way to have a fast PC that can run Photoshop and other apps at the same time. Well worth the money!

Works Perfectly.
I built a budget gaming machine from an HP Elite Desk 800 G2 and swapped out the old I5 for this I7. Combined with the RX6400, it plays just about anything I wish now at a good frame rate.

Heat with a stock cooler my not work well
I have no dislike but I highly recemented getting a water cooler for it. The Frozen Prism 240 Black I also got from Amazon and it a great working cooler for the price!! Please note the stock cooler with the new water cooler. I sent a photo shower the new I7 core temp and it running at 100% and the temp is at 140 to 145F. I do long rendering that take 45min to 3hours at a time. Now if you are into gaming I would get a cooler but if you do surfing or writing the stock cooler may work.

Processor arrived as described and worked right out of the box with no problems at all
I was a bit leery of ordering a processor that was renewed but I didn’t want to spend a ton of money getting a system up that will be used primarily as a Plex server. I looked around and finally decided on this processor. It arrived faster than expected and I put it in my system right away in case it didn’t work for some reason it booted up fine and ran as expected. I did some stress testing and so far it looks great. Temps are as expected and everything is up and running. I would order again if the need arose. Very happy with my purchase.

Nervous about packaging, but so far, so good.
This arrived wrapped in bubble wrap, inside a box, and I was nervous about it having bumped around in transit. Chip had extra thermal paste that had leaked from beneath the cap, but I cleaned it up before putting it into my rig.Was looking for a cheaper alternative to upgrading the entire rig, so I bought this cpu to replace an i5-6500. So far, so good. Nothing appears to have been damaged, and the cpu is as promised.Great alternative to folks looking for an affordable solution and an increase in performance. Thanks!

Slotted in nicely on my B150 MoBo. These are used CPU’s but for the price (less than £80) they are really good value and are a great performance boost over the previous Core i3 I had installed.
