The PC Upgrade Kits offered by LDLC have only one objective: to allow you to easily upgrade your configuration. Whether you want to upgrade from components you already own or to build a solid base for your future machine, these kits with carefully selected components offer an unbeatable performance/price ratio. They will also allow you to take the first step towards a new platform at a lower cost, which you can then upgrade as you wish.
A monster is born!
Bought to be able to do video editing and photo editing, all components are top notch (except for the RAM which will need to be changed/increased).
The processor is a competitive beast for its price. You can feel that it has 12 cores and 24 threads under the bonnet. The supplied cooler is nice with its RGB and pre-applied thermal paste.
The motherboard is well equipped and beautiful:
-2 M.2 PCIE4.0 ports equipped with heatshield (with pre-applied thermal paste) that cool the M.2 SSDs well avoiding throttling (decrease in bandwidth, performance)
-6 SATA 6GB/s ports allowing to connect a lot of HDDs and SSDs (and possibility to create a RAID 0/1/10 system)
-4 RAM slots up to 128GB 4400MHz
-5 USB 3.2 type A on the back
-2 USB 2.0 type A on the rear
-1 USB 3.2 type C on the back
-5 3.5mm jacks
-2 antenna connector (antenna included)
Equipped with Bluetooth and Wifi (active once the drivers are installed), we don't have to be near the internet box.
The RGB are really nice, controllable via Mystic Light. The fan of the chipset does not make any noise (or at least I do not hear it, having rather the noise of the ventirad ...).
The RAM modules are nice, with heatshield, they have a good frequency of 3000MHz and 16GB in 2019 is enough for games (but for applications like editing, it can limit...).
