Let customers speak for us
Paired the Ryzen 5 9600X with a 9060XT 16GB in my first PC Build. The system got through POST first time of asking and recognised the CPU as described. I'm about 25 hours into Final Fantasy 7 Remake, it's phenomenally efficient and the CPU cooler hasn't felt the need to spin up beyond the usual. Temps are excellent and works flawlessly. Very happy with the product and would absolutely buy again. Thanks, PC Tec. Also the best customer service you'll find in this market. Safwaan runs his business the right way, does right by his customers and this will be where I buy any potential upgrade down the line.
Great service and communication from the point of purchase to after delivery. The cpu has greatly improved the performance of the pc allowing AAA games to be played without any stuttering like before.
Excellent CPU that was securely packed. It works well in a newly built gaming PC.
Very nice upgrade, much faster experience.
Amazing service.
CPU arrived in good time and very well packaged. I received a Whatsapp within moments of purchase providing me with delivery and installation info, and also received a follow-up to check it had arrived okay - sorry, forgot to take photos of the installation but my PC runs so much better now thanks to the upgrade.
I would absolutely use them again in the future, no question.
Fantastic customer service, don't think I've ever had this level of assistance before. Has been very thorough and caring throughout the purchase and even assisted with tech support advice. Definitely goes above and beyond!
Kept me updated with shipping/delivery.
On to the product: it is what it says in the tin. Exact genuine product with no issues; only much cheaper than the competition!
Would highly recommend to anyone who needs an upgrade.
Honestly nothing bad to say, does what it says on the tin! Brilliant communication from the get go, dispacthed quickly and does the job - everything just worked!
Item is in perfect working order. Customer service was brilliant start to finish. Would 100% recommend
Really good service, sent instructions on the best way to install the chip in an existing build or new board. Would highly recommend.
The CPU arrived very quickly and I'm incredibly satisfied with how much effort was put in to ensure that the product was delivered in a good condition. Would definitely recommend this company to anyone who's looking for quality, efficiency and price
Good mid-range CPU for a super low cost. Thanks to PCTech, I save on useless stock cooler and cardboard box about 60 quid. hence, overkill + moded CPU cooler :) Now, the CPU draws 90W ( Package Power Tracking) at full load, all threads at 63 degrees Celsius and 4.80 GHz, no load 35 degrees while idling. PCTech service is friendly and brilliant, with all the perks you can wish for nowadays. Also uses the most reputable courier service, Royal Mail!
Nice customer service. Received good instructions via text. I used an aftermarket cooler and thermal paste (no cooler included) and I'm really pleased. Stress-tested for an hour and temps didn't exceed 66c. Would definitely buy from here again. Make sure your motherboard bios is up to date and supports it. I had to flash mine but it was no issue.
Great CPU for my mid tier build. It arrived sooner than expected and was packaged securely. What was even better than the CPU itself however was the customer service I received right after purchase. I got a direct message on Whatsapp from the seller who gave me more details on my purchase and answered all my questions without me even having to reach out to him. Just for that i highly recommend this site. Even though i was a bit skeptical at first since it's a tray CPU I can confidently recommend it. :)
Very friendly customer service you get help if you just ask and very good fast delivery
