This is a decent replacement if you have a socket 1150 CPU. I used this for a "spare parts" PC build and got it for a cheap price at auction and paired it with a GTX 1060. Now I have a quite capable PC that can easily handle World of Warcraft and many other games. Its not going to do well with some very demanding new titles that need a strong CPU, but its fine for my purpose.

The i5-4460 is a powerful CPU. It's not as powerful as Intel's i7, but I usually choose the i5 because the price/performance ratio is excellent. Most workstations that I build will not be focusing on heavy processing, but they're for average offices or homes which sometimes need power. I've built hundreds of computers, and even chose the i5 line for my last personal gaming machine because games are more dependent on GPU (graphics processing unit). Over nearly two years of using it nightly, I've never felt the need for more CPU power. If money isn't an issue and you just want the best, go for an i7, or an i9 in the latest generation. If you want a really powerful processor for a general home or office computer, or a budget gaming computer, I recommend the i5. Even the i3 is great for most work situations, especially when paired with a solid state drive and plenty of RAM. The CPU cooler that comes with this unit is OK. It's long-lasting, with average or standard performance. I prefer inexpensive aftermarket air coolers for myself, but stock (included) coolers have always been perfectly adequate for all of my business customers and standard general-use home computer customers.Read full review

The i5 Intel chip added more speed and better color enhancement to my computer.

I have installed this refurbish CPU to my HP PC to upgrade it from i3 to i5. Works like a clock! Just like a "plug and play" thing. And in my case, it kept my Windows 10 Pro digital license activated and linked to my MS account. Very happy with this upgrade !
