— Served me well for 5 years when paired with a 960 GPU and cheap 1x8 1600 ddr3 RAM. Never had any issues with it. Only replacing because CPUs have gotten so absurdly cheap and some games like Valorant are unfortunately heavily CPU bottlenecked due to awful GPU utilization and CPU optimization, and got 5-10% benefit out of upgrading to 2x8 3200 RAM and a 1660 GPU, even when the 960 and slow RAM were bottlenecking my 4590. I obviously wouldn't recommend anyone buy it now, but it was a great CPU.
