Excelente procesador para juegos
5 Stars
Excelente procesador para juegos
Excelente opcion para juegos, hice un update desde un i3 12100f y la diferencia es extrema, puedo jugar los titulos mas modernos en configuraciones de graficos maximos y sin embargo no se utiliza mas del 60% del procesador, lo uso en conjunto con un disipador vetroo v5 y las temperaturas maximas que tengo son de 56 grados en juegos demandantes.Justo como dice la descripcion no incluye disipador de stock, sin embargo es necesario adquirir un disipador mejor que el de stock de intel, sobre todo si planeas realizar overclock.En resumen, es de las mejores opciones para juegos y uso general.
