Core i5-4430 3.0 GHz LGA 1150 Quad-Core

The Intel Core i5-4430 is a 22nm Haswell desktop processor with four cores running at 3.0 GHz and a maximum turbo frequency of 3.2 GHz. It fits the LGA 1150 socket and has a thermal design power of 84W. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 4600 operates at a base frequency of 350 MHz up to 1.1 GHz.

Ideal for legacy LGA 1150 board upgrades

This CPU suits users replacing a failed chip on an existing LGA 1150 motherboard or assembling a low-cost system for general productivity and media playback. The 6MB L3 cache and 4 x 256KB L2 cache support everyday multitasking. Builders needing higher clock speeds, more cores, or a modern platform should consider current-generation alternatives.

Boxed cooler included for 84W thermal solution

The BX80646I54430 boxed package includes a stock cooler rated for the 84W TDP, so no separate purchase is required for standard operation. Intel HD Graphics 4600 provides display output without a discrete card, reducing build cost and complexity. Virtualization technology support enables basic virtual machine workloads.

Questions about this item

Do I need an LGA 1150 motherboard for this processor?

Yes, the Core i5-4430 requires a motherboard with an LGA 1150 socket.

Will my existing LGA 1150 cooler handle the 84W thermal design power?

Any cooler rated for at least 84W on an LGA 1150 socket will keep the processor within its thermal limits.

How can I confirm the integrated Intel HD Graphics 4600 is active after installation?

The graphics will appear as Intel HD Graphics 4600 in Device Manager and will output video from the motherboard display ports.
