    Good processor

    As in the good processor title, the performance is there.

    It does not heat too much I recommend.

    High performance

    Good performance, but you'll need to ensure it's properly cooled. Very good value for money, even if it's not the latest generation of processor.

    Good processor

    I had a pretty bad experience with Ryzen when I last bought it, but now I've made up for it.
    After a month's use, it's stable, it works well and the installation went smoothly. For a small gamer setup, it's very good!
