Upgraded from a FX-6350, the improvement was amazing as expected from Intel. I dont overclock, so stock cooler will work fine. Used mainly for AAA gaming and light productivity work. I have it paired with a 1080 graphics card.

very good cpu. enough cores to multitask very good for gaming one of the best value cpus on the market does not have integrated graphics though so thats a downside however i have a gpu so it doesnt really matter to me
Nice CPU to go with RTX 2060
I bought this (and an ASUS TUF B360M-E GAMING motherboard) to replace my i5 7400, which was bottlenecking my GPU. The 9400F upgrade had a shockingly positive effect on my FPS in BATTLETECH, Assassin's Creed Origins and Deus Ex Mankind Divided, increasing 0.1% lows by around 50%. With my 7400, when in cities in AC:O, my system would drop to 30-45 FPS. With the 9400F this no longer happens, FPS drops to 65, with very rare drops to 55 FPS.

OK .. so this is a GREAT value CPU . BUT Make sure 2 things :::: A.You have own graphics card B. Get a motherboard that is compatible to it out of the box (B365 works a treat! and very affordable) without needing to flash bios to upgrade (I fell for this problem and bought a B360 and had to delay getting up and running by getting a new MB B365 as in lock-down getting access to a Gen 8 CPU just to flash MB is just too hard.) Now that it has been running for 2-3 days... works amazing... even under heaviest of loads temp with the factory fan does not go above 75C good luck.. hope this helps someone :)
Benchmark says it's the cats whiskers a nuclear sub, works great.
