Intel® Core i5-10400 Processor (12M Cache, up to 4.30 GHz) BGA 437 Socket

Intel best processor

Product was installed in the computer. After working for 7-10 days it has stopped working. Now I am unable to get any information where should I approach. I contacted supplier he say talk to Amazon, I am yet to contact Amazon

Great value for money, but the stock chooler is inadequate, please buy a tower cooler to get the most out of this, it will get insanely hot if you don’t get a good aftermarket cooler. Any time it hits 100% usage the temperature gets about 85°C and then thermal throttles.

Todo va perfecto, no se calienta, los integrados tienes un buen rendimiento en productividad para lo que son, el codec es impresionante lo bien que se ve para ser una integrada, si bien, se queda corto para los juegos y gpus actuales, es muy buena para esports y juegos viejos y no tan viejos.

It’s a major step up from my i3 9400F, really loving the performance jumps between generations as the competition from AMD heats up. No thermal issues, but I am using an AIO cooler with 120mm radiator, so that’s expected. I don’t think I’ve seen it go above 50°C.

At one point in time this was one of the best budget processors you could get along with the 10400f, which was back in 2020 to 2021. We’ve moved past that era but this CPU can still hold its own.
The i5-10400 non-F at least comes with integrated Graphics, which can be useful at times.

I bought this to test a couple questionable lga1200 motherboards. The reason I picked the i5-10400 over the i3-10100 and i5-10-400f is because the price wasn’t all that much higher than the i3 and this one comes with the iGPU. With the iGPU, I don’t have to hook up a Graphics card to test a motherboard.

Would I buy one of these for a budget build today? No, I wouldn’t. The only way I’d think of it is if I already have an lga1200 motherboard. Otherwise I would go with a newer 6-core processor which can usually be found for a similar price. I’d avoid 10th and 11th Gen processors, unless I had no other choice.

The stock cooler? No, I would not use that either. Intel should have included the stock cooler that has a copper base, and it would help if they used a beefier cooler to that is screw mounted. In the past, my side hustle was buying broken gaming PCs, and a number of those broken PCs had an Intel stock cooler that had become dislodged.

Excelente produto, eficiente e com desempenho muito bom.
