Good to Knows (CRITICAL INFO – PLEASE READ)
CRITICAL INFO 1: NO CPU COOLER INCLUDED
This is a “WOF” (Without Fan) processor. It does NOT come with a CPU cooler in the box. You must purchase a separate, high-performance cooler.
- Compufi Recommendation: To get the full performance of this 120W TDP chip, we strongly recommend at least a 240mm AIO liquid cooler or a high-end, dual-tower air cooler.
CRITICAL INFO 2: AM5 & DDR5 REQUIRED
This is a Socket AM5 processor. It is NOT compatible with older AM4 motherboards. It requires a new AM5 motherboard (e.g., B650, X670, X870) and new DDR5 RAM.
CRITICAL INFO 3: HAS INTEGRATED GRAPHICS
This CPU INCLUDES basic AMD RDNA 2 integrated graphics. This is a massive advantage for troubleshooting, system setup, or running your PC while you wait for a new graphics card.
