i5-10400 Processor 2.90GHz 6 Core with 12 Threads, Socket: LGA 1200, Max Turbo Boost Upto 4.30GHz (Comes with Thermal Paste).

Comes with 6 physical cores and 12 threads, this processor delivers a strong blend of multitasking power and smooth performance across demanding applications, gaming sessions, and productivity workloads, making it an ideal choice for users who seek a reliable mid-range CPU without integrated graphics.
Operates at a base clock speed of 2.90 GHz, and is capable of reaching up to 4.30 GHz with Max Turbo Boost, allowing it to dynamically adjust performance based on workload demands, thermal conditions, and system configuration.
Built on the 14-nanometer architecture, it ensures efficiency and decent thermal performance while still maintaining enough raw power to handle modern games, content creation tasks, and day-to-day computing with ease.
Equipped with 12 MB of Smart Cache, this processor can quickly access frequently used data, resulting in reduced latency, faster loading times, and a smoother user experience across multitasking and high-load environments.
Designed to be compatible with LGA 1200 socket motherboards, particularly those in the 400 and 500 series chipset family, offering support for features like DDR4 RAM at speeds of up to 2666 MHz (when paired with compatible motherboards) and PCIe 3.0 for expansion cards and SSDs.
Offers excellent performance-per-watt ratio, with a default TDP of 65W, allowing it to run efficiently even on modest cooling solutions while keeping thermal output manageable during extended workloads.
Delivers consistent and dependable performance for tasks like video editing, 3D rendering, streaming, office work, and gaming, proving to be a value-centric CPU choice in the mainstream desktop processor lineup.
Often selected by users who want to build budget or mid-range gaming PCs, this processor balances cost and capabilities well, offering future-ready performance with support for modern components and features while ensuring smooth computing for years to come.
Thermal Paste Included: The included thermal paste not only helps to prevent thermal throttling (a condition in which a processor reduces its speed due to high temperatures) but also improves the overall lifespan of the processor by ensuring that it operates within safe temperature ranges. The thermal paste ensures efficient heat transfer, keeping the processor cooler and avoiding issues such as system slowdowns or crashes that can occur due to overheating.
Condition: Pre-Owned.
