Review: Perfect - Very cool
Review: Is worth for its price. - I bought this i5 11400f in 2023 and still it does its job with no sweat. Well my purpose is editing in premier pro and gaming @1080p resolution. Paired with rtx 3060, its a beast at 1080p. Played competitive games and high graphics intense games like forza horizon 5 etc etc... Does its job fine. A common statement is intel processor's heat better than amd processors, well it is true. It heats very well, stock cooler not enough, my pc even shut downed 3 times when playing high end games used with stock cooler. A decent air cooler is enough to calm down this one, it is not unlocked in fact, so no explanation needed i guess. If u are gonna build a new pc build in 2024 or onwards , please consider 12th gen atleast because u can have great future upgradability chance. When said all these, i took this over 12400f because i felt this enough for my needs and it didn't disappointed me. When considering it is just an i5 i got flabbergasted by its performance fr. Many people say 11th gen is bad but i felt it as worthy for the money i spent and im not gonna do upgrades in future so... Yeah overall it is a good product and im happy with it👍. Once again, don't even consider any of 11th gen processors if u are gonna pc build in 2024 and future because 13th gen and 12 th gen is way more future proof that this 11th gen. So yeah that's it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what happend with price? it was 174, now 240....**
A: its 300$ now. This is insane. At this price, the 11700k is a much better deal.

**Q: Is this compatible with ddr4 ram**
A: Greeting from the Intel team 

Thank you for your question. The Intel® Core™ i5-11400F Processor is compatible with DDR4-3200. You can review all processor specification in the next link: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/212271/intel-core-i511400f-processor-12m-cache-up-to-4-40-ghz.html

Thank you for choosing Intel!

**Q: Is overclocking this to 4.4ghz safe for long periods of time?**
A: You cannot overclock a non K intel cpu. As for stock speeds, it will only sustain the highest number for about 90 seconds before coming back down a bit.

**Q: Hace cuello de botella con la gtx 1070?**
A: ¡Hola! ¡Gracias por tu consulta! Por lo general, casi cualquier hardware puede contribuir a un cuello de botella, no solo la CPU y la GPU. Lo ideal en esta instancia, sería que el hardware del sistema, tanto el procesador, como la tarjeta de memoria funcionara alcanzando en la mayoría de los casos el máximo rendimiento posible, y que un eslabón de la cadena de hardware no tuviera una repercusión perjudicial en el resto de eslabones.

¡Gracias por elegir Intel!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cost effective as an upgrade for work use.
*by M***P on 21 June 2023*

Wanted to upgrade my old 6-year old build. Salvaged most parts and put in this Core i5-11400F processor, reasonably priced at <$200. Everything works/booted fine, no issues - you will need your own graphics card (salvaged mine) for better resolution and a fan cooler (again salvaged); intel coolers are not the best. All in all a good processor for office work (not for gaming - get an Core i7 for that).
