    I recieved a faulty version after weeks of troubleshooting and now when i realize after waiting weeks for repairs through geeksquad and replacement parts, i am out of the return period. My situation is rare so dont let that deter you, however be wary if you do recieve a faulty product

    Great for my NAS build

    I recently completed a 12-bay NAS build using TrueNAS, and I chose the Intel i5-13400 as the CPU. I’m pleased to report that it has been a perfect fit for my needs. The i5-13400 handles the workloads with ease, providing ample processing power for file transfers, streaming, and running various applications simultaneously. Whether I’m accessing files locally or remotely, performance has been smooth and responsive. One thing worth noting is that I had to update my MSI B660M-A motherboard’s BIOS to support the newer CPU. This wasn’t a significant hurdle, but it’s something to keep in mind if you’re considering this setup. Once the update was complete, everything worked flawlessly. Overall, the i5-13400 has exceeded my expectations for a NAS build. It balances performance and efficiency perfectly for my use case, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking to build a similar system.

    I paired this with a 4070 GPU and all new pc components. It runs great but for any game optimized for CPU (tarkov) I think an I7 with turbo max 3.0 would be preferred

    Great cpu, great value- I have this paired with an RTX 3080 in an nzxt h1v2 and a 1440p monitor. Is plenty of cpu for the build while staying relatively cool in that tiny case.
