Pros- Great price to performance if you can get one cheap enough. Pairs well with a 3060 on a b450 board without being held too far back. Stays cool with a proper tower cooler. Has decent benchmark numbers with bios in default mode. Small uplift when overclocked. Cons- 6core/12 thread can be a bit of a hindrance in certain scenarios. Ram speed can be a bit of a pain when getting into higher capacities. The stock cooler is pretty much worthless (I went with an AIO). Very little overclocking headroom. Can still be expensive considering the socket is EOL. All in all its still a very capable CPU if used in the right scenario. This one is for a low-mid tier gaming pc and it suits it perfectly

If you're flashing your bios, it definitely would help to have at least a little tech savy lest you do it wrong and fry your components or make more problems then you had. Overall I am absolutely pleased with the performance over my 3200g, and I guess who wouldn't be. Was putting all my faith in my gpu to pick up the slack but the processor put it over the top.
