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

I am amazed. The 2600X was the CPU I intended to use in my budget Ryzen build for a while. Suddenly, prices started jumping ship, and they almost doubled in price while declining in supply. In Intel's case, fortunately, the craze appears to have been largely unaffected. Intel locks overclocking and ram speeds with this chip, which is decidedly stupid, but it is still quite capable. The 10400 costs $155 and offers excellent performance for the price. This can actually be paired with an SPU up to 3080 without much of a bottleneck (but shouldn't really be). I am very pleased with this purchase. br>Climate change is just a matter of getting a new cooler, just make sure! You get one with the device, but it's quite noisy.

It was a disappointing performance. I have worked with a lot of Ryzen CPUs that are better than this. I encouraged him to purchase Intel, but he said he didn't need it.

The processor has great performance, and the temperature is kept between 33 ° and 35 ° with the master hyper 212 cooler used in windows. Since the stock cooler does not keep the microprocessor cool, I am unable to say what temperature it maintains.

Besides being affordable, it is also fast.

It does not.

A good value for the money. Is able to run everything I want it to. Smooth gameplay makes for a positive gaming experience. There has been no complaint.

If you find Ryzen 5 3600's out of stock this is a great alternative. Considering the price, it can be considered as reasonably priced gaming right now. According to what I've seen, it can even be paired with most RTX cards, although some higher-end ones (I paired it with a 2060) will experience a slight bottleneck. It is important to remember that this is a locked chip. It is not permissible to overclock.

Now, I haven't really had Windows in my house in a whole lot of time considering I've been a Mac user for so long. My gaming is all done on consoles, and I have been for years. As a result of the pandemic, I decided to make a Windows gaming box in a Mini ITX form factor to play some casual games with coworkers during my lunch break. My first PC component purchase in a VERY long time was the 10400F i5. After reading a bunch of reviews and looking at benchmarks, I went with this processor. It appeared like a good match between cost and performance when paired with an Auros RX580 GPU for casual gaming at 4k resolution. If my RX580 dies or suddenly stops working, I would have been better off getting one with an integrated GPU. Hindsight is 20/20, so I went with the integrated GPU. Despite playing a number of other extremely intensive games, I've had no trouble with Battlefield 5, Battlefront 2, and Back 4 Blood (open beta). The system is paired with 32GB of RAM and a Noctua low-profile heatsink/fan that fits in the small case, and so far, the operation is barely audible and the temperatures don't seem to rise too much. So, I guess my verdict is that at the time that I bought it, it was a good option because (at the time) a lot of the really nice Ryzen CPUs were virtually impossible to find at a reasonable price. Maybe one day I'll switch. It is likely that by the time you read this, intrepid CPU hunter, this CPU will already be several generations behind and this review is no longer Oh my! I love technology! How cool is that?.
