    Thank you!

    I received excellent advice, the PC was ready to use as soon as I got home, it works really well, and I received great support. I highly recommend the Nîmes store!

    Powerful

    After 1 year of use (intensive, often on for 12h/day and sometimes 24h/24), I have nothing to complain about: everything works perfectly. All my games run without problems, as do my CPU-intensive tasks. It still has many good years ahead of it.

    Faster!

    Much faster than my old 4-core AMD Athlon processor, even though this CPU is still a basic model.

    New CPU

    Product installed by LDLC staff as part of an after-sales service. To date, I have not noticed any apparent issues with its operation or performance, except that I find the included CPU cooler a little noisy for my taste.

    Excellent for the price

    Fast CPU compared to my old setup. This is very good value for money for a Linux workstation with effective optimizations.

    Good processor

    A processor that is very good. It handles all everyday applications without flinching for a single second (to check emails, watch a Youtube video). It can run office apps (Libreoffice). In multitasking, it performs just as well.

    Hi NASA

    I replaced my old ryzen 5 1erGen with this one, and the difference is quite noticeable. The response time is smoother, especially with encoding algorithms, and it works well with AI.

    Very good

    Good value for money; I don't regret my choice given my budget, so I could upgrade my hardware for Windows 11.

    Perfect for upgrading a pc

    Having recovered a small desktop PC with a Ryzen 3 3100, this Ryzen 5 5500 gives it a huge boost again without breaking the bank for me.
    In addition, LDLC service and delivery are top-notch as always!
    Thank you :)
