Which processor is good for gaming?

A modern processor with 6 to 8 cores, such as an AMD Ryzen 5 or 7 or an Intel Core i5 or Core Ultra 5, is enough for most games. X3D models have extra cache and are a little faster in many games.

Does the processor come with a cooler?

It depends on the model. Many fast processors (AMD X and X3D, Intel K) come without one. The product page says whether a cooler is in the box.

Which processor fits my motherboard?

The socket must match: AM4, AM5, LGA1700 or LGA1851. Then check your motherboard's list of supported processors, because a BIOS update is sometimes needed.

Can I reuse my old memory?

Only if the type matches. AM5 and LGA1851 work with DDR5 only. On LGA1700, the motherboard decides whether you use DDR4 or DDR5.

The processor (CPU) is the brain of your PC: it handles everything from your browser to a game's logic. At COZO you'll find AMD Ryzen for socket AM4 and AM5, and Intel Core and Core Ultra for LGA1700 and LGA1851. Choose the platform first, because the socket of your processor and your motherboard must match. The filters on the left let you pick a socket straight away.

AMD or Intel?

Both make excellent processors. For pure gaming, AMD Ryzen models with X3D in the name are popular: their extra cache helps in many games. Intel Core and Core Ultra do well in mixed work such as video editing next to gaming. For most gamers, 6 to 8 cores are plenty; more cores mainly pay off for streaming, rendering or programming.

Socket, chipset and memory

A motherboard with the right socket is step one. An older board may need a BIOS update for a newer processor; the board maker publishes a list of supported CPUs.
