I am completely satisfied, item complies with description.

if you use a computer just for fun, then it makes no sense to overpay for i7, take i5 safely, you won’t notice a normal difference. Well, of course, if there is a lot of money, then you can overpay for HT. and the price for a month has literally grown unmeasured on it, which is already disgusting. nothing good can be expected from our 2022. especially from the one who rules it, everything is done against the people.

Pros

speed is good. for a couple of years, maybe even five years. nothing slows down. 4k video plays perfectly. 8k check failed in the net did not find a single video.

Cons

heats up a lot. with a boxed cooler, it heated up to 102 degrees in games ! when watching a video 65-70 degrees. never had less than 55. I had to change the cooler to Zalman Performance now when watching a video 40. (If 4k then 50 guaranteed or even 60) in games 70 on average. Well, more than 75 did not rise even once now. which is essentially a bit much, of course, but you can already live. when compared with amd, it's generally excellent). so even if you take the side version, then immediately change the cooler + radiator and for a more powerful one ! and everything else is fine.
