Intel - Core i5-8400F Coffee Lake 8th Gen 6-Core - 6-Thread - 2.9 GHz (4.0 GHz Turbo) Socket LGA 1151 Locked Desktop Processor - Silver

Bought on birthday for extra discount. Excellent deal, 161 plus change total. Best for gaming on a budget. Put a zaman cooler on it, stays close to board temperature. Happy on this purchase.

All around a good cpu. It covers all of my tasks with little struggle. Only downside is how hot it gets with the standard intel cooler.

I have had this processor for a little over a year and a half. I paired this with a GTX 1660 and I can still play triple A titles around 120 FPS or more. I’ve never experienced thermal throttling 100% use. There is obviously better choices out there now but this is a solid CPU.

The intel-core i5-8400F coffee lake 8th generation 6-core does the job.

Six cores of delicious butt-kickery delivering 2.8 GHz across each core that turbos up to 4 GHz. Insane performance for its price, vast improvement over the previous generation, and by far one of the best values for a CPU you can find -- that is, until Cascade Lake is released.

This CPU went into a new computer build for my wife. Up to now, she purchased prebuilt computers from the big name companies and was always disappointed with their performance. I have always built my own along with my sons high performance gaming computers. I said, let me build you a computer! For her, the I 5 intel 6 core was the best choice along with a SSD HD and a Asus motherboard and she could not be happier!

Used this in a custom build. No issues after 18 mos of daily use. Not a gamer, but do some audio/video editing. Significantly faster than Gen 4 i5 processor.

I have had this cpu for over a year now and it has been amazing. It has handled everything that i need it for with ease. would recommend.
