A very good processor for gaming as well as development. Performance is excellent across 8 cores, power consumption remains reasonable, and temperatures are well controlled. I recommend it.
Very good shop, you can trust them, very good advice. The computer was assembled very professionally, very quickly, really top notch. I recommend them 200%.
Very happy with my purchase. It works perfectly with a 5070 Ti for gaming in 2K (e.g. Battlefield 6).
My games: WRC generation, dirt rally 2.0, Flight simulator 2024. Config works without any particular problem.
I'll put it here as a comment: The PC returned to the shop 3 times (3 return trips of 50 km + motorway + diesel) because the PC suddenly cut out without warning (I also recognise this type of diagnosis to be made, the breakdown being a bit random). In total, the graphics card, processor, RAM, motherboard and power supply were all replaced, and despite all that, not even a sales gesture on the purchase of other products.
I chose this supplier because it's a large group (less risk of it disappearing for warranty reasons), but I'm not very happy with the commercial aspect (approx. 3500 € purchase).
So, in the full knowledge of the situation, you can make up your own mind.
It's powerful and I like the way it adapts the power required, but I find that it can quickly rise in temperature because it doesn't remain stable in power.
