great product would 100% recommend

I've had this for a few weeks, luckily getting it before lockdown. Upgraded from an i5 4670 to this is a world of difference. I use it for video transcoding and had great transcode times on 4K footage. The CPU gets a little hot even with an aftermarket cooler but it was one of the best cost-to-performance ratios for what I'm doing with it.

For the price it's definitely worth it. Works like it should, doesn't over heat. Good for a regular gaming pc build.

working well in a protools machine

This CPU is performing all tasks I require without issue. CPU meets quality standards. 8/10.
