I wanted to rejuvenate my desktop computer and it's honestly a success. From advice before ordering to the final result, everything was easy and efficient. Thank you LDLC!
Friendly staff and they knew how to advise me and quickly find what I needed!
Thank you very much! :)
Still much more robust than a ryzen 5, I didn't think there was such a difference. It also heats up more, I don't know if my ventirade is sufficient. To be seen over time
impeccable delivery, easy installation, really very nice, customer service in case of any issues responds quickly, really a great deal
