Bought this because I had a 3700x and a 2070 super in my desktop, which seemed to be overkill, because I'm not a gamer. The processor gives slightly better performance than a 3700x, and does a good job driving a 4K monitor for normal tasks (web browsing, productivity and media consumption.) The only thing I'd recommend if you're using a 4K monitor to be sure to enable the XMP/DOCP profile for your memory - this processor uses shared memory for video and slower RAM speeds will definitely affect video performance.

Had bent pins on every corner, thank the good LORD I own my own repair store and was able to bend the pins back but it took forever and would be a total flop if I had been just avg Joe!

Excellent high performance reasonable wattage CPU for use when you don't want to waste watts or money on a dedicated graphics card. With a large heatsink, mine stays at a boost speed of 4.5Ghz on all 8 cores during heavy compute loads with no problem and rarely exceeds 60C.

I have told others about this CPU would buy it again. Maybe I was past due running a 4700K, wanted a 5800X but didn't like its price AT THE TIME. Yet, I'm happy with the 5700G and love the fallback on graphics as a backup. It is slightly slower than the 5600X, I helped a friend set one up. Its main drawback is 16MB compared to 32MB of cache on the X-CPUs, and games love cache. Only PCI 3 and not 4.0. Yet, I look at Intel with PCI-E 5.0 support and it was the cost of the mobo, DDR-5, and much more heat output that scared me away. Not here, I prefer Intel LOL! I saw one last week max out a water cooler, not for the faint of heart. Rig? Asus Prime Plus 550 $109 New. AMD XFX RX-580 CTS Video Card Creative Labs AE-5 $88 on eBay. 4TB WD Black HDD, 2GB Black HDD Soon SSD 16GB Ballistic 3200MHz RAM EVGA 850 PSU, $84 from Newegg.

Works better than I expected. Just make sure you get the drivers for this APU from the AMD website. It worked when I first plugged it in to the new motherboard but it wouldn't allow me to play games. So I reinstalled windows and then downloaded the drivers and everything works perfect. Also after doing some research, I read that this APU take RAM with high frequency. I currently have 2666Mhz but will be upgrading to 3600Mhz.
