    One component of my tower broke, so I took the opportunity to upgrade what was lacking.
    Delivery was on time, and the products were well protected. The ldlc teams were then able to assemble the components they received.

    I bought the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and it's a very good processor. Impressive performance in gaming and multitasking, reasonable heat generation and controlled power consumption. Easy to install and perfect for a gaming or productive configuration. Very good value for money, I recommend it.

    works well but heating yo-yo

    The processor works very well, but it tends to spike in heat as soon as a task is launched, compared to the R5 3600.
    It yo-yos from 30°C to 60°C, then drops back down to 30°C in the end.
    I saw that this was normal for this processor, but it means that my cooler is working flat out for no good reason.
    So I changed the cooler activation curve to silent mode in the BIOS.
    But overall, the processor works well.

    Initially, we hadn't set out to buy this processor, but the one we wanted (Ryzen 5) was no longer available... We are very, very happy with this processor. It performs extremely well!

    Works correctly

    Compliant.
    Decent performance for the price. Socket AM4.
    The basic cooler included is sufficient for reasonable use.
