    from completed build Project Precision (My new PC)

    The fastest desktop CPU I have ever used. It's not some powerhouse by today's standards, but plenty for my needs. It's going to be used probably until I get a newer PC with a better CPU.

    from completed build Morgoth circa 2016/2017

    Works great. Sometimes gets a little hot using the stock cooler I connected to it, but never hot enough to actually have issues. I've been using it for extensive tab web browsing and gaming for almost seven years without issue, but recently some games have announced the 6700 as the minimum CPU specs. While this will technically be still good enough, and will definitely work great for older games, it might be time to upgrade.

    from completed build Second PC (built by PCDiga)

    Even in 2022 this is a good workhorse, it does show it's age but it gets the job done without any problems.
