Thank you , had some trouble understanding how to secure the fan with those weird screws :D

[@hyunztarou7053]

you know that they explain this in manual of the CPU.

[@rahul-qm9fi]

Thank you! I ordered parts including a fan but that hasn't arrived yet so this will help in the meantime :)

[@OdinHardware]

Glad I could help!

I’m upgrading from a i54440 to this card and ddr5 ram 4800mtz can’t wait until I’m done with this build (ddr3 mother board to ddr5 should be a noticeable upgrade)

[@JayzBeerz]

Love that Ballistix RAM.

[@OdinHardware]

aesthetically, functionally and price wise , it is the best

[@Andreassavvides78]

As i see thermal paste it comes pre installed in the cooler? so we dont need to use a thermal paste?

[@OdinHardware]

It's preinstalled

i have a problem regarding display, even when i use a gpu it does not display the BIOS. i used both mobo and gpu displays and there is no signal, any solutions?

[@OdinHardware]

It happens sometimes due to uefi conflict Disconnect hdd/ssd.and try

I upgraded my 10 year old i7 4770 with this processor.. Its best upgrade for me and excellent in terms of performance with affordable price... Only cons is Stock cooler which is useless... Just get better aftermarket cooler like deepcool or coolermaster..

[@OdinHardware]

12400f is awesome chip and great upgrade for previous Intel users. I find stock cooler from 12400f is much better than previous Intel stock coolers

[@VS_Gamer84]

@@OdinHardware my temp was reaching 85 deg with stock cooler when playing heavy CPU demanding games.. After installing deepcool cooler CPU max temp even during heavy load does not exceed 57 deg

why are some of the gold pads at the back of the cpu of a darker color?Is it a defect?

[@OdinHardware]

No

[@FratNightGaming]

Someone please offer advice: I built my first pc and have this cpu. PC runs well BUT cpu temps at spike into 80s and once got into high 90s (hit 100 in one fan!) when I download something (like Visual Studio or some app). When I have just some apps running without downloading, temps are like high 40s low 50s. But idk why I'm getting these major temp spikes. My thermal paste and new cpu cooler (arctic 34 esports cpu cooler) just arrived. I also bought a couple of arctic fans for exhaust. Is it normal for this cpu to get so hot??? maybe its not installed fully correctly or didnt have enough paste on it? please help

[@OdinHardware]

Check installation

[@FratNightGaming]

@@OdinHardware Installation was almost certainly the issue. One of the four pins wasnt properly in the motherboard hole. IT was really hard to get all four in there. I also put on new thermal paste. Now my CPU temps are WAY better! No spiking. I also added an exhaust fan.
