## Description

Review: Decent Bargain — Requires Graphics Card to work - This is quite the bargain for anyone who is also already investing/has invested in a selected Graphics Card, as it has no internal graphics within it. At all. On its own, it just won’t work, or even Boot (I tested this too, out of curiosity!). When a Card is plugged into the MB, though, it whirs to life as Normal, and then goes ahead and gives some good power to your system. It also has a good range speed boost too, but doesn’t OverClock It comes with its own heatsink and even thermal paste, so you don’t have to panic and get your own (like I did!). Installation was SO very easy, with it just popping easily into its slot, and then the heatsink goes on nicely. There are simple plastic clips that keep the heatsink in place. It didn’t take long at all to get it in and ready to go. I have it working with 16GB RAM, a mid-range ATX Mobo, and a GTX 1050 Graphics Card, using Windows 10. It’s being used to mainly run a small but rather powerful home music studio, as well as the usual basics you use computers for. It’s been flawless.
Review: Great CPU - Temperatures are great, never goes over 60c with stock cooler. I have noticed in Ubisoft games that it will frequently stutter but that is a ubisoft optimisation issue. This CPU is great but I only recommend it if you are in a position where you can't get a ryzen chip. They are better value for money if you do other stuff other than gaming. If it just gaming you wanna do, this CPU is powerful and will get the job done.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What do you mean by "No Processor Graphics)?**
A: As denoted by the "F" suffix in its name, the Intel Core i5-9400F belongs to a new breed of processors that come with a disabled iGPU (Integrated Graphics Processing Unit). Therefore, you'll need to pair the processor with a discrete graphics card.

**Q: Does this come with an intel boxed cpu cooler? or are we expected to provide our own?**
A: Comes with cooler.

**Q: Is this for the 1151 socket?**
A: Besides requiring a LGA 1151 socket and a 300 series chipset the motherboard must also support 9th generation processors. Most current LGA 1151 motherboards only support up to 8th generation processors so be sure to know what your motherboard supports prior to purchasing.

**Q: does this support all ddr4 memory or only 2666mhz?**
A: " that memory will then underclock itself to to 2666mhz"  That is not accurate at all.   2666Mhz is the officially supported memory speed by the CPU any compatible memory kit rated higher will need to be overclocked.  A compatible motherboard with the ability to apply an XMP profile will overlock the RAM to it's rated speed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Insanely cool but insanely fast!
*by B***B on 26 March 2020*

65W at this performance and temperature is crazy! More than powerful enough to play all the latest games, given you have a good enough GPU. The MOST impressive part was that it didn't go a single degree above 50°C during a 5 hour+ prime95 stress test! Tested with a Arctic Freezer 34 Duo eSports cooler and Thermalgrizzly Kryonaut paste. Insane! Probably the best value for a person looking for a gaming only rig!
