Haven't yet built the new computer so things are still in limbo. Do not particularly like the Stealth Cooler that came with it so I have a new Prism cooler on hand to use it once built. All arrived well and intact and I'm sure the Processor will work fine. Always felt one can never have too much cooling especially when it comes to processors.

Good price - fast delivery

B&H is always the place to check for electronic items you are searching for as their prices are usually good, even somtimes fantastic, their shipping is quick and items are packed the right way so they arrive without damage.

This APU is great for a light gaming setup during times of elevated GPU prices.

Working perfect so far

Pros: Pretty fast shipment. Arrive in good status. I over clock it to 4.5GHz for Cpu and 2400 MHz for Gpu, and it works just fine 24/7. AMD YES! I can even play Civilization VI with around 50 fps on my 4k screen. Maybe the most affordable graphic solution you can get nowadays with all those overpriced mf graphic cards. Cons: It only supports PCIE 3.0. and it will be obviously a short board when you have a graphic card like 3070ti or higher. So update Cpu cost might be a must if you want to have some fancy graphic cards in the future.

A small CPU that packs a punch!

This is a great and solid product for the value. It has intergrated GPU which is helpful if you don't have a GPU already. Furthermore the performance is both outstanding for a integrated GPU. It was sold out everywhere except B&H.

Great budget CPU

I built a new PC and at the time video cards were unreasonably expensive. The integrated GPU on this CPU runs games well even in Linux.

Raw power perfect price

Is it compatible with the Gigabyte B550 Vision D-P motherboard without a BIOS update ?
Asked by: Greg
Run your build through the pcpartpicker (.com) website and it will let you know which BIOS version you need. To be fair, I believe that board has the flashback button so you can upgrade and downgrade with or w/o a CPU installed.
