Q: Do all the new 10th gen processors come with cooling fans with thermal paste ?
A: Hi Someone, the processor you are looking at the Intel Core I5-10400 does come with a thermal solution which is a heatsink fan combination with the thermal paste applied. Not all of the processors come with a cooling fan. Unlocked processors that have the K designation do not come with a cooling fan. Thank you for choosing Intel.
A: Hi JT23, the Intel Core i5 10400 10th Generation processor use a 400-Series Motherboard LGA1200 Socket; which provides more power to the processor. Currently, the 1151 Socket is being utilized by the the Intel Core 8th & 9th Gen processors. Best Buy does have some available, check this one out. https://rb.gy/mxcizz Thanks for choosing Intel!
Q: Does it come with windows 10
A: Hello Thomas. Thanks for your question. The Windows 10 operating system is not included with the purchase of this 10Th Generation Intel® Core™ i5-10400 Processor, it is sold separately. You can find both versions of Windows 10 operating system (Pro and Home) here: ***https://www.bestbuy.com/site/windows-10-pro-english/6390389.p?skuId=6390389*** ***https://www.bestbuy.com/site/windows-10-home-english-blue/6387482.p?skuId=6387482*** Thank you for choosing Intel!
A: The cooler is not already attached, but thermal paste is already applied. Be careful to not make a mess with it.
A: Yes it is make sure it fit before buying!
A: Crownzzy, There are a few motherboards at Best Buy that fits your needs. Here is an MSI Motherboard listed at $159. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/msi-z490-a-pro-socket-1200-usb-c-gen-2-intel-atx-motherboard-pcie-gen-2/6436464.p?skuId=6436464. Take a look. But, if you are streaming as well as recording, you might want to consider moving up processors to the Intel Core i7 Processor, which can make streaming, as well as rendering videos easier to complete. Thank you for choosing Intel.
Q: 360mm rad a good cpu cool for the core i5 if I turbo the cpu to 4.3 GHz.
A: Hi Jrsmom, the Intel Core I5-10400 already includes a heat sink/ fan thermal solution and should be sufficient for most situations, but a water cooled solution such as one you are looking at will help keep the processor cooler under heavier loads. Thank you for choosing Intel.
Q: Does the cpu include a cooler?
A: The cooling solution for the Intel Core i5-10400 Boxed Processor will be a stock Heatsink & Fan and is capable of keeping the Processor cool at load temp.
