Best 9th gen cpu for under $200!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best cpu for under $200 IMO. You can OC this one to just over 5.0 MHz and it’s very reliable. I hope when this cpu is discontinued, that the value goes up on such a amazing cpu. 10/10.

Sweet!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m loving this processor. No issues. Graphics are ok for a budget build or to get up and running. I didn’t find the included fan as noisy as others have said, but It’s not silent. Nice product.

Powerful processor
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This processor runs my 24/7 server. The server mainly handles media procurement and serving (via Plex). Thus far, nothing has slowed down the 9400. Plex routinely dishes out 2 streams of transcoded video (UHD graphics!!), and never needs to buffer or freeze. My only gripe with the processor is that it's a bit more power-hungry than my previous i5-6400t (which was specifically a low-power CPU)--but the difference equates to about $1 in power usage over the entire year. Soooo, in truth, that gripe is more about my nick-pickiness. If you're on the fence about this processor, I'm willing to bet that it'll work great for you regardless of the task. And at the price I paid for it, around $150 after rebates, it's hard NOT to recommend.

Great budget gaming CPU!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice CPU for basic everyday computing, as well as for gaming on a budget. It feels good to be able to play most games at ultra or high settings. I was initially going to get the 9400f model which doesn't have onboard graphics but for a few bucks more, I figured it was worth it just in case my graphics card bombs so I don't have any down time. Happy with my purchase

Great Product, Better Value
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great for gaming able to handle a handful of demanding cpu intensive programs at once with ease. (ex. Triple A game titles + streaming software+ the 12 tabs you accidently left open in IE) for what it is, and how it performs its a tough value to top

Good product, good service
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased a new processor and RAM and the product price was right inline with other, online sellers, but the Performance of the new device is amazing. I did have a Geeksquad representative come and install the unit, ( once the apocalypse lightened up) here at my home and knocked the installation out with no issues! Great purchase!
