## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Perfect for high end (but still fairly cheap) gaming when paired with a B360 motherboard - Great CPU overall, six cores with an all core boost clock of 3.8 GHz makes it an amazing chip for more affordable gaming even with a more high end graphics card. I have it paired with a GTX 1070 for max. settings, 75Hz gaming at 1080p and this CPU handles it very well, reaching basically 100% GPU usage in most games (other than GTA V). The only problem so far is that in certain games, such as The Witcher 3, there is a fair bit of stuttering, although I'm almost certain that is down to the fact that I'm running a single 8GB stick of DDR4 memory, which I plan to add another stick to very soon to run in dual channel mode to reduce the CPU usage and stuttering as well as increase my FPS. The only other minor problem that I have had is with the stock cooler that Intel supplies, the problem that I have with it isn't with performance or noise, but with aesthetics, in my opinion it just doesn't look very nice in a windowed case which is why I replaced it with a Hyper 212X from Cooler Master, not only making my system look a lot nicer, but also dropping thermals whilst gaming by about 10C (roughly 65 to 55C). other than these two easily remedied problems that weren't even caused by the CPU itself, it is almost perfect and once I have upgraded to dual channel memory I think it will be even better delivering a smooth gaming experience even when paired with a GPU such as the GTX 1070.
Review: Good, solid CPU - I chose the core i5-8400 for my gaming PC, as it was a mid-range processor, and I wasn't planning on doing any overclocking for my build (I'm a first time builder, so I don't want to get into overclocking just yet). Thermal paste was already applied to the bottom of the supplied CPU fan, and installation instructions were very easy to follow. So far I have had no issues, and my PC is working very well.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this come with a CPU cooler?**
A: I5-8400 comes with a cooler. They're sufficient for basic use, however i'd opt to get an aftermarket aircooler or an AIO just for sanity sake.

**Q: Was going to buy from you buy 12 pounds for shipping is too steep, I will go elsewhere?**
A: Depends how fast you want your parts.

**Q: Can i swap out my i5 7400 for this cpu**
A: no different cpu socket

**Q: What chipsets does it work with because i have a h110**
A: The 8400 will not work on a H110 motherboard. Only the older Skylake and Kabylake series CPUs (6xxx and 7xxx) will work on that chipset. 

You need a more modern chipsets like the z370, h370 to support coffelake cpus (8xxx)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Prices are a joke
*by S***E on 8 October 2018*

I have not used this chip yet but was so frustrated to get it after 3 month that I could not resist to leave a comment now. Amazon is a joke. The price go up and down by 300%. I had to use the 3rd party site to monitor the prices and buy it when it was reasonably cheap. A rich company who has put millions of business out of business is play game with people's hard earned income. God knows why one person needs so much money. sickness I guess. The first thing I noticed was the box. Suppose to protect this tiny chip which is the most expensive and important part of the computer. Yet it was placed at the top of the box with a plastic cover but the cheap 50p cooler was well protected under it. It is probably designed by god, like he placed the testicle outside the box in a vulnerable position. Really stupid idea. After a lot of research I chose to get a i5-8400 because it has enough cores (6) and has a 2.8 GHz base clock speed. Do not be fooled by the low Hz as it is deliberately set low to make 8600K good. If the processor does not need the speed it is better to stay low because the CPU consumes the most energy. In fact I do not put the heater on during winter and just use my PC to keep the room warm. I used the laptop only for couple of day and my room was freezing. The Hz can go up to 3.9 on a single core (if you have a good cooling) which is near 8600K at 4.3Hz. I do not play games but I am a software engineer and write programmes so I need a good CPU. This is to replace my Intel Core Due which is 1.8Hz maxes to 2.8Hz. Since you cannot OC this you do not need to go for high end motherboard such as 300 series. I got a 370 MB because it has connections and other feathers I liked. It came with a fan you can find a kinder egg so I invested in a good cooling system.
