It's an excellent processor but too expensive

I bought this to upgrade from my 9700k and wanted to overclock. I could not seem to get performance increases with overclocking the 10700k. Aside from that, I decided to get a Ryzen 9 3900x because it's about the same price and I get more for the money. The 10700k runs excellent though and was very easy to install, but with AMD there seems to be little issues to deal with. Also, I learned that the 3900x isn't easily overclockable either. Both of them are already basically adjusted to perfection stock.

Impressive, and easily overclockable

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this simply to see how much processor plus integrated graphics I could get for such a low price. I have a Ryzen 5 1600af, and a Ryzen 9 3900x as well. I overclocked the 3200g to 4.1ghz and am using a noctua u9a cooler, 16gigs of 3000mhz ram and an intel 7600p nvme ssd. For everyday web browsing, streaming, doing multiple tasks at once etc this thing is awesome. It's very impressive and I love it. I am using a gigabyte b450 ds3h motherboard and a 700 watt evga bronze psu.

I was using the previous model of this receiver in my truck for 2-3 years and the touch screen started to go out in certain spots. I decided to get this one and I installed it with ease using the same connector and microphone that my other one used. This one is awesome so far, seems to be more user friendly and has more to offer. I highly recommend this for navigation use with an iPhone. It has a plethora of sound tweaks you can do, sub level control with xover, xover's for front and rear speakers as well. It has every feature and the touch screen works beautifully!

Great card, doesn't require power from psu!
on April 16, 2020
Posted by: Nick
Verified Purchase:Yes
The GTX1650 from PNY is a powerful little card. It fits in small cases and doesn't require a huge power supply to run it. It requires a 300 watt or more. This card doesn't need the extra cable that most cards need from the power supply to work either so it can run fine with a computer thats running a dell power supply or hp etc. It works directly from the pcie slot which is great.

This cooling fan is a great value. I bought another fan for mine so it has two now and that makes it work better. Using it on an i5 9600k slightly overclocked and temps stay around 30-50c.

This Alpine does the majority of what anybody wants in an in dash system. Sub level control, high and low pass crossovers, blutooth (and pairs phones easily), siriusxm, dimming, microphone works well when making or accepting phone calls etc. It does it all for around $100 too. Sounds excellent has more than enough features and works great. Highly recommend.

Built with the latest-generation Wi-Fi 6 technology, the NETGEAR~ Nighthawk~ AX6 6-stream AX5400 Wi-Fi 6 router provides up to 4 times more network capacity as compared to Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac). Enjoy consistent and powerful signal strength to all your connected devices and perfect performance for concurrent real-time applications, such as multimedia streaming and online gaming. Includes 1 year of advanced cyber threat protection with NETGEAR Armor.
I have a spectrum wifi and added a net gear nighthawk mesh. Will this make my connection better and speed up my wifi?
Speeding up your wifi depends on the cable used to connect your modem to your router as well. You need at least a cat6 ethernet cable. Sometimes people still use old cables and that slows up the speeds. The mesh setup should help your wifi all around the house as expected and speed up the wifi.

If i have a 6Gb graphics card already, does this CPU make better sense then one without graphics built in?
If you have a 6gb gpu then you do not need one with graphics built in, but this is an excellent processor.
