Build Requirements
Important: This processor does NOT include a cooler and requires a discrete graphics card for display output. Due to its high performance, a premium cooling solution is strongly recommended.
What You'll Need:
- AM4 socket motherboard (X570 or B550 chipset recommended for best performance)
- High-performance CPU cooler (280mm/360mm AIO liquid cooler or premium air cooler strongly recommended)
- DDR4 memory (32GB or more recommended for professional workloads)
- Discrete graphics card (processor does not include integrated graphics)
- Quality power supply (750W+ recommended for high-end builds)
Note: BIOS update may be required for some AM4 motherboards. Premium cooling is essential to maintain optimal temperatures and unlock full performance potential.
