Q: Does this processor support DDR5 memory?
A: Yes, this processor supports both DDR5 and DDR4 memory.
Q: What is the boost frequency of this Intel processor?
A: This Intel processor can reach a boost frequency of up to 5.3GHz.
Q: Is this processor unlocked?
A: Yes, this is an unlocked processor.
Q: How much L3 cache does the Intel processor have?
A: This processor has a 24MB Level 3 cache.
Q: Is this Intel processor compatible with motherboards using the Intel 600 series chipset?
A: This processor is compatible with motherboards using either the Intel 700 or Intel 600 series chipsets.
Q: What is the base clock frequency of this processor?
A: The base clock frequency of this processor is 4 GHz.
Q: will this upgrade an intel core i5-2400 processor to windows 11 compatability?
A: Yes. It meets the cpu requirement: however, motherboard compatibility is really the issue. If you get a board to match this cpu, you would be able to upgrade to Windows 11 as all of those boards would have what is called Trusted Computing Module 2.0 (TCM 2.0). This is required on the board to run Windows 11.
Q: What are the dimensions of the box?
A: undefined

Intel i5-14600k
Works great. Best deal I found online anywhere. It’s perfect for gaming. And I’m still running an old 3060 ti graphics card.

New cpu
I had a 10th gen i7 before and finally upgraded and now i feel a lot smoother better when gaming

Awesome for gaming
This card pairs perfecrly well with anything GPU under an rtx 5080. Even an rtx 5080 will not be bottlenecked bt this cpu if you are running 1440p resolution and up. I cant see any reason to overspend on an i7 or i9 when you will see less than 1% difference when gaming. Only “con” is no included cooler, but if youre buying an unlocked CPU, you peobably want a decent cooler anyways.
