The Box version comes with a cooler, so the processor can go straight onto the motherboard without choosing cooling separately. It supports dual-channel DDR4 memory up to 128 GB and PCI Express 4.0, and is compatible with 64-bit Windows 11 and 10, RHEL and Ubuntu. AMD describes it as an entry-level processor for everyday performance.
AM4 owners who want to replace an older processor with a six-core, twelve-thread Ryzen and get everything needed in one box. It also suits a simple gaming PC with a dedicated graphics card. If you already have a cooler, the same processor also comes as a Tray version without one.
