The editors didn't like
Noisy
Hot
Starting to look a little dated
Low default memory clock
High operating temperature
Slightly high (relative) power consumption
Very noisy in Uber mode
Runs hot
Loud fan
Reference cooler is not up to the task
AMD may say it is fine
But 95c is too hot long term for my tastes
Overclocking requires the fan to be set much higher
And it can get very noisy
Quiet mode will suffer from core downclocking depending on the situ
