## 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!

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great 11th Gen Intel budget CPU - great for gaming
*by N***N on 3 January 2023*

This is a review of the 2 intel components I bought at the same time, being the Intel Core i5 11400 and Gigabyte Z590i Aorus Ultra motherboard.I’ve been using AMD for a couple of years and think that their products still represent great value for money. However, over the last 6 months, I’ve been looking to downsize my daily driver and media PC. I managed to secure a Gigabyte X570i Aorus Pro wifi motherboard last autumn at a great price, but since then I’d not been able to get another AMD AM4 ITX motherboard at reasonable price.I had to think that in the current market, there wasn’t any more value in sticking with AMD, as supply was shortening and prices were being scalped again.I’d looked at the AsRock B550 mITX-AC and although ordered, I returned it as it wasn't anywhere near my X570 board in terms of features, performance or value for money. The price of other AMD ITX boards was getting ridiculous so a look at Intel was certainly worth considering.I have to say that although these products are a couple of generations behind current releases, at the prices I got these components for they still represent good performance and great value for money.As a combo, they work really well together. The BIOS of the motherboard lets the CPU run free to its boost clocks and I’ve not seen them drop from 4.2 GHz. I would expect a B560 board to drop down to the stock clocks.Power consumption is a lot higher however. My AMD set up would run around 10w on low CPU usage, whereas this combo runs between 25 – 30w. I’ve not tested many games but would expect that there isn't any performance compromise between this platform and an X570/Ryzen 5 platform, and if there was, it wouldn't be noticeable.To summarise, I’m really happy with them both

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic CPU
*by J***D on 4 June 2023*

Came well packaged. It's perfect for a mid-range build and good value for money. I paired it with an Asus Tuf b560m wifi motherboard and very happy with the performance for my daily, personal computing needs. Highly recommend!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfection
*by A***R on 3 July 2021*

For my needs this processor is perfection!Cheap, fast and runs cool, even with middle of the road air cooling. Posts much better numbers than my older gen i7 4790. Obviously the newer motherboard and DDR4 will be helping also. But still, there's real world improvement over a previous generation top dog.
