Description
Intel Core i5-6400 is a Skylake desktop processor for the LGA1151 socket. Its four cores and four threads run at a 2.70 GHz base frequency and boost up to 3.30 GHz. It has 6 MB of Intel Smart Cache and a 65 W TDP. The dual-channel controller supports up to 64 GB of DDR4-1866/2133 or DDR3L-1333/1600 memory at 1.35 V; standard 1.5 V DDR3 must not be used. Sixteen PCIe 3.0 lanes are available for a discrete graphics card. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 runs at 350–950 MHz and supports up to three displays. Before installation, verify Core i5-6400 support and the required BIOS version for the specific motherboard because the LGA1151 designation also appears on incompatible platform generations. The package type is not specified for this item, so stock cooler presence must be checked against the physical package.
