Tips

Pair this processor with a B660 or H610 motherboard to take full advantage of its efficiency. For fanless or ultra-compact chassis, the 35 W TDP allows passive cooling solutions in many environments. Use DDR4 memory to keep total system cost low, or move to DDR5 for extra bandwidth in memory-intensive applications.
