💻 Intel Core i5-9400 Desktop Processor 6 Cores 2.90 GHz up to 4.10 GHz Turbo LGA1151 300 Series 65W CPU BX80684I59400 Review

Now it makes no sense to take it, since the 10400 rolls it out to the fullest, while a bundle with a top-end motherboard costs a little more.

High speed for the price. Average (not overclocked) processor at a reasonable price. I needed to rebuild my computer with something that could handle multiple games, video/photo editing, and act as a media server. For the price everything seems to work well.

It's fine for what it is; it's more for desktop operation than gaming; But for a 13 year old it will work lol. It will work fine on a typical low-to-mid gaming system; Note, however, that there's no Hyper-Threading and some of the other stuff that even the i7-8700 has. It just doesn't work; The 9MB cache compared to the i7's 12MB cache makes it a bit slower for some intensive operations. But it's good for what it is.

I took this new cheap 9th Gen Intel processor, installed it on a brand new 9th Gen ASUS Prime Z370-P II GA 1151 motherboard and popped it into my existing Rosewell Challenger ATX case with 16GB Kingston HyperX DDR4 memory, EVGA GeForce 2GB GDDR5 graphics card, WD Blue 1TB hard drive and Sentey 725W Xplus power supply, and the W10 will automatically update to the latest version as soon as it is powered on. Wow! 😀 For only 300 euros - a brand new, inexpensive, almost "modern" modernized desktop…

I really like how fast it is. What a speed improvement over I 5 on my poor dead 10 year old computer. It's been ten years since I built the computer and the only real change is the 8 pin connector in addition to the 24 pin connector needed to boot the system.

Mine is overclocked to 4GHz on all cores by default. There are definitely better alternatives for the money, but at the end of the day this is another solid Intel processor and I don't regret buying it.

Not installed yet but looks like graphics are there? I'm not sure if it isn't because the description says it isn't, and it is, but the box doesn't say anything. Just confused at the moment *INSTALLED* doesn't come with internal graphics 🤷🏻‍♂️

I bought this CPU for a new rack file server. I was looking for something powerful enough for Plex transcoding, but something that could be easily cooled in a case with limited airflow. My server has 8 hard drives in a hot-swappable array, which puts out a decent amount of heat. I connected this processor to a Noctua NH-L9i low-profile cooler, which keeps the processor at 40-55°C during normal operation. This processor was basically plug and play, required no further configuration and has been…

I took this new budget 9th Gen Intel processor, installed it on a brand new 9th Gen ASUS Prime Z370-P II GA 1151 motherboard and popped it into my existing Rosewell Challenger ATX case with 16 GB Kingston HyperX DDR4 memory, EVGA GeForce 2 GB GDDR5 graphics card, WD Blue 1 TB hard drive and Sentey 725 W Xplus power supply - and W10 will be automatically updated to the latest version right after switching on. , an inexpensive, almost "modern" modernized desktop computer that is amazing. Not bad!

Just ordered a second 9400 after trying the first one. I can compare it to my last cpu which was i5 3570k for socket 1155. This model fits socket 1151. It has 6 cores instead of 4 like the older model. It is designed to operate at frequencies from 2.9 to 4.1 GHz, while the old one was more blocked at 3.4. It consumes 65W instead of 90W like the old and current high power model. In fact, this processor typically runs at around 0.8 GHz and generates almost no heat. As long as it is not busy, the…
