OPEN BOX - Intel i5-13400F Desktop Processor 10 cores (6 P-cores + 4 E-cores) 20MB Cache, up to 4.6 GHz

Buen procesador, lo utilice para mi setup es una motherboard tuf gaming b760 plus y una tarjeta grafica rtx 4070 super, la verdad esque el procesador va joya no tengo ninguna queja de sobrecalentamiento, utilice un enfriamiento liquido para mi setup porque en mi region el clima es desertico, solo que tengo que investigar más en caso de que quiera hacer overcloking para este procesador, llevo 6 meses con mi pc, ninguna queja hasta el momento.

Great CPU, surprised the factory cooler is a little cheesy... Plastic... But good CPU for the price.

work perfect

Who should get this CPU? Someone who is value oriented but still wants great performance. It's really hard to beat this chip, especially if it can be found in the $130ish range which is I got mine for (used from Amazon seller). It didn't come with a cooler but I already had one. For 1080P gaming this is more than enough and unlike the previous generation 12400F, this has the E cores that will handle background tasks while gaming, leading to fewer stutters as the P cores focus on the gaming. This CPU sips power, unlike the higher binned Intel products and even with a basic/entry level motherboard like my B760M, it can run full power as long as it needs to without cutting wattage. Speaking of wattage, at 100% usage using CPU-Z "Stress", it maxes out at around 80W. Even with the dinky stock cooler, I'm seeing high 60's. Granted, as you can see in the picture, I run an open air setup because I'm cheap and I'm much more function over form. During gaming, I rarely see the CPU utilization go above 20%, showing that even if I were to step up to 1440P gaming, I'd have plenty of CPU for that as well. For those considering the 14400F, I'd save the 60-80 bucks as the 14400F is merely 2-3% faster as it's clocked 1-200Mhz higher and is otherwise the same. While the 12400F is a little cheaper than this, I like having the E cores during gaming, as Windows scheduler will direct background tasks go to the E cores. Tl;dr. Solid value chip that sips power, and is plenty of power for 1080P/1440P gaming and it works on cheap motherboards. Get this over the 12th gen, save $$$ vs the 14th gen that is barely faster.

Using this in combination with DDR4 ram and H670 Motherboard, works great, enough power to handle all the new games to this point. Fairly efficient but the stock cooler can be loud. I changed it for a Deepcool tower cooler and it never goes over 60°C. The reason for the 4 stars is the concern with stability and longevity of the 13th and 14th gen cpu, never had issues with mine but it should not be something we should have to worry about. So far works perfectly and don't regret buying it.
