Intel Core i5-10400F Desktop Processor 6 Cores up to 4.3 GHz Without Processor Graphics LGA1200 (Intel 400 Series chipset) 65W, Model Number: BX8070110400F

As described. Well packed

very good for normal daily use desktop low power consumption and less heat and very fast

Amazing cpu. 6 cores / 12 threads. Better than Ryzen and the price is super affordable. It stays 4.5 ghz stable on my asus motherboard

The CPU really good for budget gamers. It is only four years old. It’s good to pair with anything below a 3080 but for rendering or cpu heavy workloads it will struggle as it only has 6 cores.

Good good.

Ottimo processore,mi serviva per un PC destinato a lavorare con file pesanti, principalmente relazioni di geologia e sì è dimostrato perfetto nel lavoro

Awesome performance. This i5 is still valid to run everything in 2024.

I’ve been using the Intel Core i5-10400F in my build, and it’s a fantastic processor for gaming and productivity. It delivers solid multi-core performance at a budget-friendly price, making it a great option for mid-range systems. With 6 cores and 12 threads clocking up to 4.3 GHz, this CPU handles gaming, multitasking, and general productivity with ease. It runs modern games smoothly when paired with a decent GPU, and it handles light video editing and streaming without issues. This CPU performs exceptionally well in gaming, offering frame rates comparable to higher-tier processors when paired with a capable GPU. It also handles multitasking (browsing, streaming, and gaming simultaneously) with no hiccups. With a 65W TDP, it runs cool and power-efficient. Even under load, temperatures remain manageable with the stock cooler—though upgrading to a better cooler is 100% recommended as stock coolers usually are terrible which I'll explain later. Works flawlessly with Intel 400 series chipsets and fits into the LGA1200 socket. Installation was straightforward, and the CPU was recognized immediately. Issues you may want to consider before buying: The "F" series lacks integrated graphics, which means you must use a dedicated GPU. This isn’t an issue for gaming setups but could be inconvenient if you’re troubleshooting without a graphics card. The included cooler is terrible, it’s not ideal for overclocking or heavy sustained loads, or even normal use. If you plan on pushing the CPU or just try and use it for gaming, you’ll want to upgrade to a better cooler. Since this is a non-K processor, it has limited overclocking potential. However, it still boosts up to 4.3 GHz automatically, which is plenty for most users. Overall: The Intel Core i5-10400F is a fantastic mid-range CPU that offers excellent gaming and multitasking performance for the price. It’s power-efficient, reliable, and affordable, making it perfect for budget-conscious gamers and general-purpose users. Just keep in mind that you’ll need a dedicated GPU and might want to upgrade the cooler if you plan on long gaming sessions or heavier workloads. Highly recommended for gaming rigs and productivity builds on a budget!

The packaging was good enough, nothing was damaged during delivery except for the big box that housed my order of both this processor and a cabinet. Didn't expect the cooler of the processor to have a factory default thermal paste already applied, smudged over it unknowingly. All good.

Bin wirklich sehr zufrieden mit dieser CPU. Für den Preis liefert der Prozessor unglaublich viel Leistung. Betreibe die CPU mit einer Rtx 3070 zusammen und was soll ich sagen es hagelt nur so an Frames. Der Aufpreis zu einer 10600k von knapp 100 Euro (zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt) lohnt sich kaum.
