i5 10400F featuring 3200MHz RAM
Hi, I am about to build a new pc, I already have most of the parts: -------------- Motherboard: Asus Prime-P z490 Processor: Intel 10400f Ram: Vengance LPX 3200MHZ GPU: Asus dual mini oc Geforce RTX 2070 PSU: evga 650W gold Case: inwin 303 case ------------- I know that the cpu is non-overclockeable.(i did not get the 10600k because i got a great price for the 10400f) My question is: Can i run the memories @ 3200mhz by just enabling XMP in the motherboard ?? its known that the 10400f performs fairly better with faster rams Should i get an aftermarket cooler for this?? (since xmp may rise a bit the cpu temps right?) if so, what cooler should i get for this? Many thanks for the advices
The Z490 board is necessary for supporting RAM speeds above DDR4-2666. The cost gap between the i5-10600K/KF and i5-10400F isn't specified here. The ASUS Prime-P Z490 was priced around $35 to $40. Running XMP won’t significantly raise CPU temps, but an aftermarket cooler is recommended for better performance and quieter operation. Arctic Freezer 33 eSports ONE offers a solid option near that price point. Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition provides strong cooling for similar budgets.
You received a unique deal. The i5 10400F with Z490 included for $300. Appreciate the help—I might choose the cooler master instead.
