This was a drop in upgrade before I got my AM5 build. I used it for about 6 months. The tests I ran are not to for benchmarking purposes but to show you the CPU is in good working condition. I took the pictures of the CPU after these tests. I cleaned the thermal paste off with Isopropyl alcohol. I never used the Wraith cooler that it came with. The cooler still has the factory thermal paste on it ready to be used. The cooler has all associated wires and factory packaging it never came out of the box.
