Box Contains 1 x Intel BX80662I56400 Review: Good purchase. - Working well. Steady temps, turbo boost raising clock speed nicely. Great CPU, arrived packaged well. Review: good cpu - nice processor. dont be put off by the lower clock sppeed the cpu will turbo up to 3.3 if it has to. the diffrence between this and the 6500 is not much for gaming as i did researched this when considering an i5 for gaming. overall great cpu although stock intel cooler is a bit loud ## Features - Intel i5-6400, Core.

BX80662I56400http://ark.intel.com/products/88185/Intel-Core-i5-6400-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_30-GHz **Q: why is this processer clocked so low?** A: That's just the base clock. 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 purchase. *by A***R on 30 August 2016* Working well. Steady temps, turbo boost raising clock speed nicely. Great CPU, arrived packaged well. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ good cpu *by L***U on 7 October 2016* nice processor. dont be put off by the lower clock sppeed the cpu will turbo up to 3.3 if it has to. the diffrence between this and the 6500 is not much for gaming as i did researched this when considering an i5 for gaming. overall great cpu although stock intel cooler is a bit loud ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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 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. ## 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.fi/products/48335274-intel-i5-6400-skylake-2-7ghz-quad-core-1151-socket](https://www.desertcart.fi/products/48335274-intel-i5-6400-skylake-2-7ghz-quad-core-1151-socket) --- *Product available on Desertcart Finland* *Store origin: FI* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
