Used it to build my budget PC and has worked very well. The addition of the CPU fan makes the installation process very easy, as a previous CPU fan that I tried to install was very difficult and caused my old CPU pins to bend, which made them defective.

Don't get me wrong it is an ultra classy way to water cool but it won't help your framerates... What you need is to Jetwash the CPU, just go to town and fire the water everywhere. The CPU will be so intimidated by your water cooling prowess that it will run Doom Eternal 4K Ultra Nightmare at 1000FPS with no GPU installed. Intimidation is the key! **Q: I paid £540 for my 5900X. This scalper price of £800 is insane and these practices should be made illegal.** A: Current price is £382 as of 25th July 2021. So it’s halved in price in 6 months on Amazon. Great value now. **Q: Is this a scam? Why the £200.54 delivery fee?** A: Check who is selling it - there’s many scalpers selling for £200+ over RRP **Q: Does this processor come with the code for far cry 6 in the box or is it sent out by amazon, how would i go about getting the code?** A: Yes, you'll get an email from amazon shortly after you buy the CPU. Then you must run an AMD system check to confirm you have installed the CPU and the game is yours....at least it will be when it releases in 2021. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Affordable CPU and CPU Fan *by A***B on 22 February 2026* Very good CPU at an affordable price.
