What Buyers Say

Intel Core i7 11700 8-core LGA 1200

88 out of 100 medium confidence 14 reviews

Users are overwhelmingly positive about this Intel i5-11400, praising its price-to-performance ratio, stability, and ease of installation. Many note that it runs hot and draws more power than its TDP suggests, especially when power limits are removed, so an aftermarket cooler is recommended. It's seen as a great choice for gaming, particularly at 1440p, and a solid upgrade from older CPUs.

Pros
  • Excellent price-to-performance
  • Stable and reliable
  • Easy installation
  • Great for gaming at 1440p
  • Good upgrade from older CPUs
Cons
  • Runs hot under load
  • High power draw when unlocked
  • Stock cooler insufficient
  • No software bundle included
