Excellent CPU for High Mid-Range and Above I finished building my first PC and after doing tons of research on the parts I wanted to use, I am super glad that I chose this CPU as my first. Temps always stay where they need to be and nearly everything is lightning-fast on my PC. I cannot speak on how well the stock cooler performs since I did not use it. I currently use an Arctic i35 cooler which is specifically designed for 12th Gen Intel and of course, that means mounting a bracket and adding thermal paste manually.
