Got mine in May 2020. 3700x At the date of 18/Feb./2022 Never disappointed me.
Pros
- Price, in my opinion is the best for the price in every country.
- Works on 40°c-50°c in winter-summer.
- Works great with air coolers so dont need WC your system.
Cons
- no pad pin (like intel).
- it came with AMD wraith prism, the system of that cooler is kinda risky to lock.
