Test Method & Context

Manual reading of the selected official Bench verdict and its individually chosen product reference. Product configuration was checked against merchant identity fields and, where available, official model information. PF Shop did not perform the experiment.

Limitations to Keep in Mind

One matched set; source-level aggregate only. No claim every component or different 809xx kit has the same performance.

Before You Buy

Check socket/drive coverage and storage format against the job. Piece count alone is not a performance measurement, and an aggregate set result does not mean every one of 243 components was independently tested.
