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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ perfect budget CPU *by A***O on 24 September 2023* The Intel Core i5-10400F is a six-core processor based on Intel's new "Comet Lake" microarchitecture.

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!!! ## Frequently Bought Together - Intel Core i5-10400F (Base Clock: 2.90 GHz; Socket: LGA1200; 65 Watt) Box - ARCTIC MX-4 (incl.
