    Excellent processor

    After 6 months, I can say that the processor is holding up well and doing its job very well. There's nothing more to say, I'd give it 5/5.

    impec

    I've upgraded from a q9550 to this so I'm 100 years away from my old setup.
    The ventirad is pretty nice and runs well

    great too

    super meets my expectations just one thing the manual is not in French very annoying especially for someone who is not in the business I was advised to download the manual in French on the site, and I never found it, it would seem that you have to enter the bios to be able to modify the program as I can not program the secure boot so I can not access Windows11 until the problem is resolved
