Pros
-Price to performance ratio is great
-my old 4670 was bottlenecking multiple games but now my GTX 1070 can stretch its legs
-the stock cooler keeps temps under 75C when gaming for hours with a 4.00Ghz OC at 1.29V
-install and mounting hardware was straightforward and painless
-very stable compared to 1st Gen Ryzen
-Successful overclock to 4.2Ghz but with the stock cooler, it just isn't viable temp wise
-The mounting process for the cooler was super simple and easy
-The RGB cooler is really nice, love that I can tweak it to match the orange throughout my case
-GTA Online, AC:Origins and other games no longer being bottlenecked by my old 4670, 4 cores just do not seem to be enough anymore. Massive performance jump plus after benchmarking my 1% lows on fps are much better.
Cons
- Its cheaper now then when I bought it, lol
- This isn't a true con but I love the look of the cooler. I actually don't know if I'll put a H115i Pro on this or not because the cooler looks so simple but awesome.
Other
- no real cons so I'm doing other things to consider
-If you're purely gaming, no rendering, video editing, or streaming then save money and go with a 2600 or 2600x and I promise you won't notice a difference
-another side note, I bought the AM4 adapter for my Be Quiet! Dark Rock 3 BUT it does not work with my Corsair RGB RAM, blocks 3 DIMM slots.
