Intel Core i5 11400F 6-core LGA1200
82 out of 100 high confidence 32 reviews
The Intel Core i5-11400F is widely praised as an outstanding budget CPU that delivers excellent gaming and multitasking performance for its price. Users highlight its fast speeds, low power consumption, and compatibility with mid-range GPUs like the RTX 3060 Ti. However, a few reviewers note the lack of integrated graphics (F-suffix) and that the stock cooler can run hot under load, with one reporting temperatures of 100°C. Overall, it is considered a great value upgrade for those with a dedicated graphics card.
