Yes but the fact that the cpu is has to be clocked at 4.3-4.4 to be the same as my broken cpu is kind of dissapointing. and idk if my CoolIT vantage pushpull intake config will be able to cool it enough for an overclock that high (4.8) im not saying the cpu is crap but is there any reason i should not send this cpu back and buy a phenom from ebay or something? i heard certain games (especially dx11 games) benefit from even 8 cores not sure though.
