If your upgrading an i3 or a Celeron or a pentium in a lga 1155 board, for the price this is a great upgrade. Speed is day and night difference. Add a $40 120gb ssd for your operating system and you have a computer that won’t lag or struggle performing any task. 8gb of ddr3 and a solid video card and you can even game moderately.

This is a 95 watt version; if you want one that uses fewer watts there are 65 watt versions. The Intel stock fan with copper core is good enough for general use, but gamers would want a bigger ccoler.

Performs well enough for most games and well enough for any normal home or business use. Second generation runs around 30C cool to 79C hot use, with the correct paste and also making sure everything is clean before assembly. Also make sure good air flow around the computer.
