Bought loq with Ryzen 7 250 and it's good i am a fx student and my software are running good I can make intermediate to high level shots easily not crash nothing even on gaming temp stays under control even on high demanding games like black myth wukong and cyberpunk 2077 temp stays at 75 to 80 I'll consider Ryzen 250 due to cooling efficiency
