The 4 core boost max is 3.1GHz, compared to the 6500's 4 core max of 3.3GHz. For CPU intensive applications it's basically only 200-300 MHz slower depending on how many cores are being utilized(provided that Turbo Boost kicks in). **Q: Does this come with a fan** A: Yes, only the K series processors come without stock fans. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good price for a product that can perform to a 7 series i7 standsrd worth £320 at time of writing this. *by J***P on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 October 2017* Over clocked this bad boy to 4.2 ghz on a z170 Asus mother board and it works like a dream. For the price tag what's point in buying 7 series cpu for 2x the price when after 40minutes you can buy cheaper mother / cpu for more power without the worry of too much heat. I used an after market alphenon German cooler and it has no problems whatsoever so your choice just look up the options to save yourself money. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Value CPU! *by T***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 March 2017* I've been using this CPU for a few months now and I have to say that it has performed consistently well even under demanding open-world games. Clearly it is not a high-end i7, but in terms of value for money, I think this CPU performs very well. As long as you are not streaming or rendering 4k video, you should be alright with this CPU. I have mainly used it for gaming and daily browsing, however it can cope with video editing. If you are looking to combo this CPU with a Graphics card, I would suggest pairing it with either an RX 480 or a GTX 1060, as from experience these two components can form a very capable mid-range gaming PC. One of the only negatives I have found with this CPU is slight stuttering in demanding open-world games such as Watch Dogs 2; in high-speed driving scenes I did experience some small frames drops but managed to tweak the setting to suit it.If you are looking for a PC with a solid upgrade path, I would suggest purchasing a Z170/Z270 Motherboard as you may decide you want to overclock in the future. Also, Intel have released their new series of CPU's- "Kaby Lake", so you might want to look into one of them. The equivalent of this CPU, offering marginal performance differences is the i5 7400. If it is cheaper I would suggest picking up one of these as it is better value, you could combo it with a Z270 or a more budget motherboard for great performance at a fairly low price.But to conclude this review, I was pleased with my purchase and strongly recommend it for a home, work or gaming PC. If you can pick it up for under £150 it is a good deal. (Sorry for the bad quality picture, I had to use my iPhone 6 which doesn't take well to RGB LED's) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good value for money *by O***O on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 December 2020* I already think that I am going for 5 years with this processor, I am very happy with the purchase, it does not heat up much or consume a lot of energy. For games it is good until games of 2019 some of 2020 runs perfect but it depends on the game I am talking about the top ones. ## Frequently Bought Together - Intel Boxed Core I5-6400 FC-LGA14C 2.70 Ghz 6 M Processor Cache 4 LGA 1151 BX80662I56400 - ASRock H370M-HDV LGA1151/ Intel H370/ DDR4/ SATA3&USB3.2/ Micro ATX Motherboard - Thermaltake SMART 600W ATX 12V V2.3/EPS 12V 80 Plus Certified Active PFC Power Supply PS-SPD-0600NPCWUS-W --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/48335274-intel-i5-6400-skylake-2-7ghz-quad-core-1151-socket](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/48335274-intel-i5-6400-skylake-2-7ghz-quad-core-1151-socket) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-06-19*
