Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent value, great performance. Bought as part of my first time build, the processor smashes tasks with no problems, fully recommend if you’re on a budget and a novice! This comes with a stock CPU cooler (AMD Wraith Spire) which is super easy to mount and works really well despite the stigma around stock CPU coolers!

Motherboard compatibility...

Would this fit into a b450 board looking at the gigabyte aurous b450 ? Didn't want to really go for an x4 board just yet
Asked by: Richo
I believe it will work,but make sure at the motherboard manufacturers website.Otherwise the bios may need upgrading.A lot of the 4x boards will not support win7. Hope this helps.
