## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A problem with Amazon
*by L***S on 2 July 2013*

I purchased this item the 28th of june, today is 2nd of July 2013, the product has not been dispatched yet, these are the dispatch and delivery estimates:DISPATCH ESTIMATE THURSDAY 18 JULY 2013 - SUNDAY 28 JULY 2013DELIVERY ESTIMATE MONDAY 22 JULY 2013 - WEDNESDAY 31 JULY 2013The problem is that I already have been charged, I mean, I have already paid for something that hasn't been sent yet, and it's not going to be dispatched until at least the 18th of July, in 16 days, and in 26 days in the worst case scenario, almost a month in advance!What's the trick? Amazon has changed the status of the order to "Dispatching Now", and the estimates are the same, it seems that Amazon do need cash, so they charge you for your orders, even when the order isn't supposed to be dispatched in 15-30 days. And they are going to be "dispatching now" my order for almost a month.I am beginning to look for alternatives to Amazon, I think they are getting too much power and market dominion, and they are beginning to do what they please.Actually, there's no way to complain other than this, I have searched the web site and there is no other way to complain, I can only complain about the dispatching once I have received the order, and I can only tick three check boxes.It's a pity

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cool and Fast!
*by V***N on 1 March 2020*

I bought this CPU to revive an older generation socket 1150 motherboard. I also installed 16 GB of RAM, and then bought a compatible MSI Graphics Card, mainly so I could have some fun at playing Eurotruck Sim 2, and I can honestly say I am not disappointed with this CPU at all. In my view it's a great processor at a great price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No Problem Purchase
*by W***Y on 6 November 2016*

This item arrived well within the specified time. It was very protectively packaged and the contents were undamaged. Everything was present within the package as described and was soon installed on my pc where it performs exactly as I would expect.
