What reviewers say

Reviewers found strong rendering, encoding and multitasking performance for its price, helped by twelve cores and quad-channel memory. It offered generous expansion bandwidth, but gaming and lightly threaded tasks still favoured mainstream or higher-clocked alternatives. The expensive platform and substantial cooling requirements mattered, especially when overclocking.
