Review on Intel I5 9400F Desktop Processor Graphics by Kevin Young

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent processor, 2 important details read below.

Fantastic processor for the money, unbeatable value for money, runs like butter with a max frequency of 4.1GHz. (CS:GO, Apex, WWZ, Battlefield V etc. etc.) 2 small caveats that I had to put a star for 😥1. It's CPU only (no integrated or integrated graphics) so you'll need a GPU. I didn't give this a star as stated in the product description, but I'm just repeating it here for clarification.2. With this processor, RAM only works with a maximum value of 2666 and only with activated XMP. I gave this one star because for consumers they are not very knowledgeable about it and I locked one of these motherboards out by flashing it because I thought I was using the wrong gigabyte firmware file and that's why it has mine RAM at 3000A not read small note, but because of this missing information having to disassemble and rebuild the whole assembly (mATX is tedious because of the small case, at least for me) which was very frustrating. In general? An incredible processor for anyone on a budget or building an extra PC for gaming/streaming/whatever and doesn't want to spend a lot of money on it. I highly recommend it. I haven't tried streaming and gaming on this particular processor but it runs so smooth and with the recent optimizations to OBS I dare say this processor can handle such a load.

Pros
  • Finally bought it
Cons
  • Poor set
