User questions & answers

Question:	I have the ASUS ROG STRIX B350-F GAMING AMD Ryzen AM4 motherboard, can i pop this in and i am good to go? do i need a 2nd gen ryzen first to set bios
Answer:	As others, yes! However,using the 2700x for encodes is fast but not happy with temps with stock Wraith cooler, with all cores at 100%. CPU at 95.1C (Tctl) or 85.1C (Tdie), your choice. The stock fan has a down flow so was cooking MB, RAM and 970 Evo+ located right below the Wraith cooler. I changed out fan only for encodes, ymmv.
Question:	does it come with the cooler
Answer:	The cooler comes with thermal paste preaplied
Question:	Do you need a gpu
Answer:	There is nothing on the item to indicate where it came from.
Question:	Does the wraith cooler have thermal past on or do i have to manually put it on
Answer:	China

• Frequency: 3.6GHz precision boost
• 6 cores/12 threads unlocked

User questions & answers

Question:	If motherboard supports 2000 series ryzen out of the box, will it be compatible with this ryzen 1600 af refresh chip
Answer:	The Ryzen 5 1600 Af is 12 nanometer but is manufactured to work in 1st gen boards. (A320/B350/X370) it does not require a bios flash
Question:	Those of you who are running this cpu, what motherboard are you using? was this cpu listed in the cpu compatibility list yet
Answer:	MSI PRO B450-A PRO MAX AM4 AMD B450 SATA 6Gb/s ATX. No problems, despite the CPU not being listed (in AF variant) on the MSI approved CPU list. (With both v3 and v5 UEFIs.)
Question:	So this the Ryzen+ refresh of the R
Answer:	It is a R5 2600 in everything but name https://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/3547-amd-r5-1600-af-cpu-review-best-cpu-under-100
Question:	when will be available at its original price
Answer:	It probably never will. I got the 1600AF at $85 but if I had to do it now with it being $105, I would spend the additional $15 and go with the 3300X for $120 at release. The 1600AF does slightly better than the 3300X in productivity apps but loses to the 3300X by a wide margin in gaming where it is on par with the 3600. See the Hardware Unboxed review of the 3100 and 3300X on YouTube and you can see in the graphs how the 1600AF fares.

User questions & answers

Question:	does this support all ddr4 memory or only 2666mhz
Answer:	" that memory will then underclock itself to to 2666mhz" That is not accurate at all. 2666Mhz is the officially supported memory speed by the CPU any compatible memory kit rated higher will need to be overclocked. A compatible motherboard with the ability to apply an XMP profile will overlock the RAM to it's rated speed.
Question:	Is this for the 1151 socket
Answer:	Besides requiring a LGA 1151 socket and a 300 series chipset the motherboard must also support 9th generation processors. Most current LGA 1151 motherboards only support up to 8th generation processors so be sure to know what your motherboard supports prior to purchasing.
Question:	Does this come with an intel boxed cpu cooler? or are we expected to provide our own
Answer:	Comes with cooler.
Question:	What do you mean by "No Processor Graphics
Answer:	As denoted by the "F" suffix in its name, the Intel Core i5-9400F belongs to a new breed of processors that come with a disabled iGPU (Integrated Graphics Processing Unit). Therefore, you'll need to pair the processor with a discrete graphics card.

User questions & answers

Question:	Would this work with a z370 sli slim motherbaord
Answer:	Yes, the z370 motherboard is a socket 115x so this CPU cooler will fit as long as there is a little space around the CPU socket (most should have more than enough space)
Question:	Does the cooler work on a mobo intrl lg1151 socket
Answer:	Hello Nicolas, Yes, this liquid cooler AIO should mount to an LGA 1151 socket without any issues. CM-PNguyen
Question:	Is the cooler's tdp actually 130w? the listed figure is very low compared to similar cooler master aios
Answer:	And now it’s 2020, still 130w tdp. 240 liquid cooling should be good for most 200-250 tdp chips, just swap the fan for an arctic or Noctua.
Question:	Hi, I have read alot of reviews saying the therr is a design flaw, Can the manufacturer guarantee that the plsstic tabs will not brake
Answer:	I owned three of these and all three had problems. The design flaw is the mounting bracket and the way it connects to the water pump. Under pressure the tabs will break and you must be vert careful when installing it. I have two break on installation and another pop after about 4 months of usage. I have built PC's for over 25 years, so I understand how to properly apply pressure when installing CPU coolers. I would wait until cooler master fixes this issue. Hopefully the next revision will have a better mounting system.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this fit on msi a68hm-33 v
Answer:	Yes!
Question:	can this cool the 1800X
Answer:	Yes. I have it running on a ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Hero AM4 AMD and Ryzen 1800x.
Question:	Can anyone confirm if this comes with an am4 bracket or do we have to order and adapter from msi
Answer:	Well I have close experience with actually mounting this on the Asus Crosshair Hero 6 (AM4). It does come with a back plate & all necessary parts. But mounting on my mobo meant removing the Asus provided AM4 back plate (that was pasted on the boarded with dual sided sticky tape) & then using the bracket provided. The only negative is post mounting it you will notice a gap/play of 2mm to 3mm between the heat-sink & the fasteners, allowing the heat-sink to slide from one side to the other (about 5mm of travel). This is not acceptable so I jerry-rigged a plastic washer (from some electrical plastic fittings). This should have been caught by MSI & washers should be part of the KIT. Rest is fine.
Question:	does it fit inside a laptop
Answer:	Most laptops fit inside this cooler :)

Product features

Heatpipes & Fins

Four 8mm SuperPipes reach up from the baseplate into an impressive array of aluminum fins. The fins are equipped with Airflow Control technology to direct the flow of air precisely onto the heat pipes for more efficient heat dispersion.

Torx Fans For Max Airflow

Using MSI’s patented TORX Fan technology which can also be found on our famous gaming series graphics cards, a massive amount of airflow is generated for highly effective cooling. The unique combination of two different type of fan blades also ensures that the cooler stays relatively silent under extreme load situations.

Easy Installation On Intel and AMD

Supports all popular Intel and AMD sockets and can be fitted with an easy to use mounting system. The Core Frozr L also includes a CPU backplate which gives more support for both the motherboard and the cooler to prevent any damage through years of usage or the occasional bump during transport.

A Solid Base For Gaming

Core Frozr L uses a solid nickel-plated copper baseplate which creates a large highly conductive area that catches the heat from the CPU and efficiently passes it on to the connected heatpipes.

Dual Fans Supported

An additional set of 120mm fan brackets is included to support the use of dual fans in a push-pull configuration for additional cooling performance.

* Second fan not included.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why do they include a boost clock If you can't overclock it
Answer:	Because locked processors do boost up to the max boost frequency. Overclocking is completely different from boosting, which is what the unlocked chips are for. When you overclock you can set an all-core frequency equal to or greater than the max boost frequency. The max boost clock is usually only on one or two cores as well, it's not an all-core boost. The boosted speeds you personally see are also controlled by an algorithm and it's based on temperatures, power delivery, silicon lottery, etc, whereas with overclocking you manually control speeds and voltages.
Question:	can I use this with the prime z270-p 5X protection 3 motherboard
Answer:	Z270 chipset is 200 series. This CPU requires a motherboard with 400 series chipset, and I believe the required CPU socket is also different.
Question:	does this model have onboard graphics
Answer:	Yes it does. Intel UHD Graphics 630
Question:	Is this worth the upgrade from an i5 9400, or is it a minimal pointless upgrade
Answer:	It's about 30-40% faster in applications or tasks that actually utilize hyperthreading well. Otherwise it's only 15-20% faster overall. Whether that's worth the cost of a new motherboard and this CPU, that's up to you.
