but yeah, solid unit overall for low mid gaming

Iirc 3770k is Solder

solder?

The Integrated Heat Spreader (the metal bit you see that has the information) is soldered to the Die (actual silicon)

oh damn

it isnt

What's your cooler?

If you're planning to OC, get a good cooler for the 3770k

since most likely that TIM (thermal interface material, tldr thermal paste) between the die and IHS might be crusty

My current one is stock for the prebuilt, but I'm ordering a budget cooler that a couple of my friends tested from aliexpress called the snowman t5

since its years old

Snowman is a good cooler

its been making the rounds as a good budget cooler

also

look at this cooler if you still havent ordered

ok

Scythe Fuma 2

Basically a more accessible version of a Noctua NH-D15

And better ram clearance

cool, looks nice too

I'll check it out for the build I'm gonna do later on

depends on your color coordination for your build tho

planning to change mine out since it rests on the glass

also,a its a fatass cooler

yeah, I'll probably end up placing it in a more mid-range build for one of my family members who does editing

Ryzen is a good choice

For production workload

It just rests on the glass

It JUST fits

hot

Might change it out for something smaller and ar gee bee

I'm gonna get him something full tower since they have the space

Nice

Even though this case has filters for it, still pretty dirty

and its an airflow focused one

i might rig up another layer for the filtration

yeah, I should be fine, since I air out my room a lot even in winter
