Overclocking with a simple multiplier, the increase from 6600k to 4.5GHz resulted in up to a 30% increase; compilation speed has significantly improved, and all applications have become more responsive. sometimes the temperature on the cores jumps from 40-67 or the sensors are so inaccurate, or the monitoring system, there is no driver for integrated video on win7-8 and win10 32bit only on win10 64bit, if it were soldered like the 2500k it would be priceless use Intel Core i5 Coffee Lake few months |
Excellent percentage, Forget about friezes, as well as lags, I have a 1050 ti, so everything is fire, temperature is 20-40 max degrees with a deepcool gamaxx 200t cooler, idle temperature is 15 or less (I played wither 3, gta 5, resident evil 2 re and cs on it go everything is fine) Did not notice use Intel i5-8400 OEM more than year |
Quite fast. In CSGO on low internal graphics, 110-120 fps. Managed to overclock to 5 GHz on the MSI Z370 A-PRO, but didn't notice that the voltage reached 1.46. It heated up to 80 (didn't risk running the test in Cinebench, didn't install LinX before this. In the end, I decided not to push the hardware since 4.5 GHz is quite sufficient (in LinX at 15000 and 20 runs, it doesn't heat above 80 on the Xilence M403 cooler). I achieved the psychological threshold of 5 GHz, and now I won't push it further, or else it might start to degrade. Haven't encoded video yet - I'll add to the review later. Fast. Can be overclocked to 5 GHz and above. Nothing yet. Switched from a laptop, so the speed is satisfactory.  Dmitriy: use Intel Core i5 Coffee Lake less than month |

There were four, now there are six
The Core i5-8400 is perhaps the most interesting processor in the Coffee Lake family. Unlike the i5 of previous generations, it has not four, but six physical cores at the same price of $180. As a result, the i5-8400 is even faster in games than the $350 quad-core but eight-thread Core i7-7700. Whereas in video editing and other professional tasks, eight threads are still faster than six cores.
Don't trust the numbers
At first glance, the i5-8400 has a low base frequency of only 2.8 GHz. And the claimed Turbo Boost frequency of 4 GHz is relevant only for one core. But in addition to single-core auto-overclocking, the i5-8400 also has a multi-core, but slightly less high-frequency one — up to 3.8 GHz. And unlike laptop low-voltage Core i5, auto overclocking is not limited in time. As long as there is enough motherboard power and a cooler heat sink (it is advisable to replace the boxed one with a tower one), Turbo Boost will work for all six cores.
The Smart Gamer's Choice
Like other Core Coffee Lakes, the i5-8400 has integrated UHD 630 graphics. But this processor is clearly not designed for it, but for discrete video cards like GeForce GTX 1060 or 1070 and Radeon RX 580 or Vega RX 56. The most resource-intensive games like Assassin's Creed Origins can no longer run smoothly on quad-core processors — give them at least six cores. The fault lies not so much with the game engines themselves, but rather with the Denuvo and VMProtect anti-piracy protection systems, which load the processor very heavily. As a result, at the moment, the i5-8400 can be considered the fundamental processor for assembling a gaming PC, which is capable of running any modern game and has a performance margin of at least a couple of years.
