Intel Core i5-2400
- I'll reccommend it to anyone with a AM3 socket motherboard.
- The socket it fits is readily available and common on most motherboards, so it is easy to find.
- Best value quad core, with a good socket, too.
- This AMD quad core is great for the price. Has good socket for my motherboard.
- Perfect item with AM3 socket for this price.
- Running the i5-2400 on an H67 mini-itx board. Easy to setup.
- I do wish Intel would stop changing their socket platforms. CPU with this socket is perfect.
- CPU installation is easy with socket 1155.
- Good solid CPU that is decently priced. Socket for my case. I like it.
- Requires new socket 1155 motherboard. Huge cost.
