Received very quickly, assembled with a water cooling artic, it's impressively efficient. I use it for 3D computing, it's perfect. I had initially gone for an i9 14900k, but following the advice of an LDLC advisor I settled on this model, which is just as efficient and above all BEAUTIFULCOUP easier to cool, I recommend it!
Way beyond what I really needed but no regrets :)
It does absolutely everything effortlessly.
The processor is perfect, nothing to complain about.
Top performance.
Heats up a lot, so take care of the cooling.
The processor heats up far too much. With a fan theoretically capable of dissipating 200W of TDP, the processor rises to 89°C in a few seconds under load. This is its protection temperature: it automatically downclocks at this temperature. As a result, the boost to 5.2GHz in theory is a poor 4.1 in practice.
Fortunately, by deactivating hyperthreading (which is completely useless on a processor with 16 physical cores, unless you're using a hypervisor) you save precious W, and therefore degrees, and things go much better (well, less badly).
In short. Avoid if you don't have watercooling.
A very efficient processor with enough cores for most professional and leisure activities. Very pleased.
