This Processor to many people on the outside, may just seem like an everyday use one. When in reality much like the Series AMD has always used where it has an "X" or a "G" on the end of the model, it's not associated to gaming or even for heavy workloads like AutoCAD. When in reality this CPU for the asking price of under 100$ is an absolute tank.
There are a few problems, but that's mainly related to OS stuff. A good example is Windows 10 this was idling at 47C-50C with no load, just the OS. I believe that cause Windows has become unbelievably bloated and had it doing unnecessary loads. The other is that, the stock fan it comes with, don't trust it. The fan given is alright at best, but once your PC start multi-tasking and putting a proper load on it, even worse when Turbo is on. The fan will not keep at all. Plus the Thermal compound on the fan, don't trust that as well. Not enough paste on it, so wipe it off with alcohol and use MX-4 or something similiar.
The processor is fully compatible with whatever route you take whether it's virtual machine, Linux, Windows. It has very high performance and damn near an endless possible compatibility. I run on it on Linux, which fixed my load issue and it has been amazing ever since. Especially considering out of the box you are told you have full control of the Processor's speed and power, which is greatly welcomed if you have a power supply that can't handle a full load.
Highly recommended whether it be an upgrade or building a PC, especially if you're short from grabbing the newer series. I can guarantee that this one will carry for quite awhile.
