I’ve been using the Intel Core i5-10400F in my build, and it’s a fantastic processor for gaming and productivity. It delivers solid multi-core performance at a budget-friendly price, making it a great option for mid-range systems.With 6 cores and 12 threads clocking up to 4.3 GHz, this CPU handles gaming, multitasking, and general productivity with ease. It runs modern games smoothly when paired with a decent GPU, and it handles light video editing and streaming without issues.This CPU performs exceptionally well in gaming, offering frame rates comparable to higher-tier processors when paired with a capable GPU. It also handles multitasking (browsing, streaming, and gaming simultaneously) with no hiccups.With a 65W TDP, it runs cool and power-efficient. Even under load, temperatures remain manageable with the stock cooler—though upgrading to a better cooler is 100% recommended as stock coolers usually are terrible which I'll explain later.Works flawlessly with Intel 400 series chipsets and fits into the LGA1200 socket. Installation was straightforward, and the CPU was recognized immediately.Issues you may want to consider before buying:The "F" series lacks integrated graphics, which means you must use a dedicated GPU. This isn’t an issue for gaming setups but could be inconvenient if you’re troubleshooting without a graphics card. The included cooler is terrible, it’s not ideal for overclocking or heavy sustained loads, or even normal use. If you plan on pushing the CPU or just try and use it for gaming, you’ll want to upgrade to a better cooler. Since this is a non-K processor, it has limited overclocking potential. However, it still boosts up to 4.3 GHz automatically, which is plenty for most users.Overall:The Intel Core i5-10400F is a fantastic mid-range CPU that offers excellent gaming and multitasking performance for the price. It’s power-efficient, reliable, and affordable, making it perfect for budget-conscious gamers and general-purpose users. Just keep in mind that you’ll need a dedicated GPU and might want to upgrade the cooler if you plan on long gaming sessions or heavier workloads. Highly recommended for gaming rigs and productivity builds on a budget!

Processeur 6C/12T qui reste encore très performant en 2023 , ne chauffe pas beaucoup et une consommation électrique maitrisé , 9W en idle, entre 30 et 50W en gaming selon les jeux, et au maximum 88W pendant un stress test très exigeant.

I don’t think there is a better option at this price point for gaming. I’m running a 6600xt and CPU utilization never exceeds 45%-55% usage, even while getting well over 100fps at 1440p on ultra settings for most 3A titles. Would highly recommend for those that don’t have a ton to spend but are looking for some solid performance.

Great budget gaming CPU. Cut my Division 2 loading times in half.Update: been a few weeks now and this CPU is killing it, Playing Division 2 on ultra 1440p and 144hz with my 3060. Works with my M.2 and very fast. but only supports up to 2666mhz ddr4. The cheaper i3-10100 is a excellent alternative if this cpu is currently above your price range.

This CPU is at par with 5600x but costs two times less. I don't understand how it is possible not to buy it. The only issue B460 motherboard won't let to overlock RAM and it will be stuck at 2666Mhz. Even taking this into account it does not worth 2x times money to gain 5-10% of FPS (providing your GPU is super performant). I pair it with RTX 3070 and don't dream about anything more.

The processor is good for gaming but takes some extra time to come in hand. But for the price it's ok

this cpu was perfect. I was building a new pc for my sister, and I chose this one. Luckily, I didn't choose wrong! The installation was quick and easy, and the cooler is pretty good, around 60-70 degrees under load. Definetly recommend buying this!

Bin wirklich sehr zufrieden mit dieser CPU. Für den Preis liefert der Prozessor unglaublich viel Leistung. Betreibe die CPU mit einer Rtx 3070 zusammen und was soll ich sagen es hagelt nur so an Frames. Der Aufpreis zu einer 10600k von knapp 100 Euro (zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt) lohnt sich kaum.
