Intel Core i5 9400 LGA 1151 Tray 6-Core 2.90 GHz 9 MB SmartCache CPU Accessory

SKU CH-6GRW-0JTMY

Six-core desktop processor for LGA 1151 socket running at 2.90 GHz with 9 MB SmartCache and integrated UHD Graphics 630

  • 6-core design handles multi-task workloads with 6 threads
  • 90 GHz base frequency delivers responsive single-thread speed
  • 9 MB SmartCache reduces latency for frequent data
  • Intel UHD Graphics 630 provides integrated display output
  • 65 W TDP keeps thermal requirements manageable

Intel Core i5 9400 LGA 1151 Processor

The Intel Core i5 9400 is a 9th Generation desktop processor built for the LGA 1151 socket. It features six cores and six threads with a base frequency of 2.90 GHz and 9 MB of SmartCache. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 provides basic display output without a discrete card. The tray package indicates an OEM unit supplied without a retail cooler or box.

Suited for everyday productivity and office builds

This CPU suits users assembling or repairing LGA 1151 systems who need reliable multi-threaded performance for standard workloads. The 65 W thermal design power keeps cooling requirements modest for compact chassis. Buyers who require higher core counts, unlocked multipliers for overclocking, or newer platform features should consider alternative processors. Systems needing discrete graphics performance must add a dedicated video card.

Six cores handle mainstream multitasking comfortably

The six cores and 9 MB cache deliver smooth operation for web browsing, office suites, and light content creation. Integrated UHD Graphics 630 supports 4K video playback and multiple displays for general use. Demanding tasks such as heavy video editing, 3D rendering, or modern gaming at high settings will exceed the capabilities of this 65 W six-core design. Memory speed and motherboard chipset choice will influence the final performance ceiling.

Questions about this item

What motherboard socket and discrete graphics requirement must I already have for this LGA 1151 processor?

The CPU fits an LGA 1151 socket and the manufacturer states it requires a discrete graphics card, so your motherboard must support one.

Can I keep my current LGA 1151 cooler when installing this 65 W, 6-core chip?

Yes, any cooler rated for LGA 1151 and at least 65 W TDP will handle the thermal load of this processor.

How can I confirm the Intel UHD Graphics 630 is active after I add a discrete card?

Enter the BIOS or Windows Device Manager and verify the Intel UHD Graphics 630 appears alongside your discrete GPU.
