Pros: 6 cores/12 threads, OC

Cons: sucks lots of power and creates a lot of heat

this is a great cpu for a workstation. I do a lot of hardware virtualization on my computer so I can always use all the extra threads the only small issue with the thing is being able to cool it, I have this cpu running at 4.5 GHz @ 1.4v and my h100 only can manage keeping it at about 82C

82C? Serious? That's dicing with death. I have mine running 4.5ghz at 1.41 volts and sitting at 36C under load. Idl;ing at 23C. I had an H100 before I customized my desk with the same rig. And it was fine. I would suggest you possibly don't have the CPU block seated correctly. Use Thermal grease!
