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

I have purchased about 30 of these this year. They are my "go to" for a typical office build. Usually with the stock i5 CPU cooler/fan combo it is constantly running at full blast and super loud. With the i5-13400 the stock fan is just right. The processor is more than capable to handle your typical office tasks. If you bump up to the i5-13500 or greater, I recommend a 3rd party cpu cooler that is quieter.

Amazon shipped this FAST and it arrived in two days. I don't know how this review will age, but in Oct 2023, this seems like the best Intel processor for $200 or so. It has a graphics processor built in (I have a GPU card, but it's nice to have some redundancy). Amazon's price was just a couple bucks over that of MicroCenter but saved me a trip there. Other than that, what can I say? Do the research regarding what chip will suit your purpose and budget.

Works great with a dual fan 4070 in small SFF builds where you have limited cooler clearance height. Noctua L9i 47mm air cooler works great and keeps temps around 33C idle- 68C under synthetic load. 64-66C during extended gaming. No undervolting enabled, which could improve temps more if desired.

This CPU is a superb, i build my system without any GPU and it performed very well on some new games. It's very fast for work, multimedia etc... Now i add a 6750 XT to my system and my PC is so very fast now (Ultra settings in all games without problems). CPU never overheat (and i leave in a hot country). Thanks Intel !

This CPU is great for an always-on machine. Low power draw, low fan speed idle, cool idle temps and not getting above 60C after 1h at full load. The power savings alone will pay for replacing a much older system, with the added benefit of all modern features, speed, virtualization etc.
