## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: perfect budget CPU - The Intel Core i5-10400F is a six-core processor based on Intel's new "Comet Lake" microarchitecture. It features HyperThreading, increased L3 cache, and higher clock speeds than its predecessor, the i5-9400F. The i5-10400F is a "locked" processor, which means it cannot be overclocked using the base-clock multiplier. It also lacks integrated graphics. The i5-10400F is a popular choice for budget-minded gamers and enthusiasts. It offers excellent performance for its price, and it is capable of handling even the most demanding games. Here is a summary of the key features and benefits of the i5-10400F: Six cores and twelve threads for excellent multitasking performance High clock speeds and cache for smooth gaming and other demanding workloads Affordable price Low power consumption If you are looking for a powerful and affordable processor, the Intel Core i5-10400F is a great option. I have been using this CPU for over 5 years and still does the job comfortabily.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this be a suitable upgrade for my sony all-in- one desktop pc which currently has a core i3-2310 cpu @ 2.10 ghz. and is it easy to fit.**
A: NO because your old CPU does not use the LGA1200 pin specification like the i5-10400
It is LGA 1155 so the pins don't match
It will not work

**Q: Does it come with thermal paste?**
A: You will not need thermal paste. The heatsink and fan assembly has the required thermal coating already. Just follow carefully the instructions provided.

**Q: How many cores does it have? It says there are 6 but as far as i know there are 10 cores on the 12600k, please someone tell me**
A: Yes, there are 10 (6 + 4) on the 12600K

**Q: Hey just bought this. does it come with cooler and paste included ? (just so i know to pop out and buy them if not)**
A: No sorry the CPU does not come with a cooler or paste. I recommend Noctua NH-D15S chromaxblack, Premium Dual-Tower CPU Cooler with NF-A15 PWM. a 140mm Fan and quality paste is included. It isn’t cheap or small but it is very quiet and seems to do its job well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Budget Gaming CPU
*by S***N on 19 January 2021*

For a couple of weeks I wasn't sure if I should have bought this CPU the i5 10400f or the slightly more powerful Ryzen 5 3600.I decided on going for intel for a couple of reasons: 1. At this current time the i5 10400f is going for £130 a great price for a 6 core CPU 2.The AMD side however is being sold for £190 and a £60 difference is a lot for someone like me going with a tight budget. 3.The i5 10400f has excellent gaming performance and I'm building my PC mainly for gaming so this was the right choice. This CPU paired with a cheaper b460m motherboard are a perfect match for a budget gaming PC. I would 100% recommend to all you gamers on a tight budget, 5 Stars!!!
