Intel Core i5-7400 3.0 GHz Desktop CPU

The Intel Core i5-7400 is a desktop processor built on a 14 nm process with four cores running at a base frequency of 3.0 GHz. It fits the LGA 1151 socket and has a thermal design power of 65 W. Integrated Intel HD 600 graphics provide basic display output without a discrete card.

Ideal for office builds and light home use

This CPU suits users assembling a budget system for everyday productivity, web browsing and media playback where integrated graphics are sufficient. It is not aimed at enthusiasts who need unlocked multipliers, higher core counts or dedicated graphics performance for modern gaming workloads.

LGA 1151 socket and 65 W TDP define compatibility

The processor requires a motherboard with an LGA 1151 socket and a cooling solution rated for at least 65 W. The 14 nm architecture and 6 MB L3 cache support responsive multitasking within this power envelope. Verify board firmware support before purchase.

Questions about this item

What does the LGA 1151 socket on the Core i5-7400 limit in practice?

The LGA 1151 socket on the Core i5-7400 determines which motherboards accept the processor and carries the memory and PCIe lanes provided by the chipset.

What physical clearance does the Core i5-7400 65W processor require for a cooler?

The Core i5-7400 65W processor fits the standard LGA 1151 mounting holes and needs a cooler rated for at least 65 W TDP with adequate clearance around the socket keep-out zone.

How is the Core i5-7400 installed, and which step is often missed?

Align the notches on the Core i5-7400 with the LGA 1151 socket keys, lower it without force, close the retention lever, then apply thermal paste before mounting the cooler — the paste step is frequently forgotten.
