This processor has a 170W TDP (Thermal Design Power) and does not include a cooling solution. This processor also includes integrated Radeon graphics.

Performance Features
Precision Boost 2
AMD Ryzen processors monitor the system's energy consumption, temperatures, and other factors to automatically raise clock speeds, allowing applications to perform faster.
Precision Boost Overdrive
Precision Boost Overdrive technology takes advantage of your compatible motherboard's design to boost clock speeds higher and for longer periods of time. It also allows you to overclock the processor at the touch of a button.
AMD EXPO Technology
The AMD Extended Profiles for Overclocking (AMD EXPO Technology) provides users with advanced profile settings for memory overclocking with supported modules.
AMD Ryzen Master Utility
Personalized Performance
The AMD Ryzen Master Utility provides you with multiple custom profiles to store CPU, GPU, and memory configurations. Use it to configure performance parameters for the active cores and adjust memory times. You can also optimize general performance or fine tune your favorite applications.
System Monitoring
Monitor your system in real-time using the AMD Ryzen Master Utility, which features a histogram of per-core clock rates and temperature, including average and peak readings.
