I really like the performance this cpu. Powerful and fastest for gaming and develop work.

I am satisfied overall with i5s over i7s, as I did my wife's previous build with a 6th gen i5. The specs sheet says Hyperthreading is supported, as well as my new motherboard (MSI B360M Mortar), however the BIOS says it's not available I may come back and amend my rating if I figure it later.

Really good cpu for gaming big upgrade over my i3 6100. Paired with my 1060 6gb it's a beast runs 1080p at ultra settings 60fps. However, the stock cooler you get is a look annoying and loud. It buzzes and has done my head in so much over the past few days that I've ordered a new cooler.

It's great. Get it

works perfect no complaints; It is worth way more than priced at based on predecessors, so I am super happy..; buy it

None

Got this for $179.99 with a SSD, evga 1060 and 16gb ram and it runs like a complete dream. All games have been played flawlessly and system is very responsive im very happy with my purchase. I bought this in one of their stores in Chicago. I do not overclock so this was the obvious choice for me.

This processor is great. It handles all my games very well. It also doesn't use a lot of power

My third buy from MightyApe and my third great service, so thanks very much guys!

Today we're checking out the most affordable six-core processor ever released, and this time it's not from AMD.

Intel's best value chip; Great for gamers across the board, decent at productivity, thermals in line with a 7700K

Intel's B360 motherboards won't be available until 2018 and the cost of Z370 boards strains the value of this offer

The Core i5-8400 is Intel's most affordable option to go beyond a quad-core setup on the desktop. With a price point of $190, it is only half the price of Core i7-8700K, but delivers nearly the same performance in games and can also compete with the Ryzen 6c12t processors thanks to its good...

Intel's six-core "Coffee Lake" Core i5 trades blows with much pricier previous-generation Core i7 chips. But it's most impressive as an affordable high-end CPU for gamers when paired with a dedicated graphics card.

Often bests previous-generation Core i7-7700K flagship CPU on multi-core tests; Best-in-class gaming performance; when paired with a dedicated graphics card

Not unlocked for overclocking (though i5 K-version does exist; Requires a new motherboard; despite Z370 chipset offering no substantive new features
