About this product
The Intel Core i5-2400 is a 2nd Gen Core processor for LGA 1155 motherboards. It has 4 cores and 4 threads, a 3.1 GHz base clock with Turbo Boost up to 3.4 GHz, 6 MB of cache and Intel HD Graphics 2000, rated at 95W.
Its big advantage for owners of an H61 board is that it is the generation those boards were designed around. It starts on H61, B65, H67 and Z68 boards without a BIOS update, so it is the safest choice when you are not sure what firmware an old board carries. Later 7 Series boards accept it too.
In use, four cores keep everyday office software, browsers, accounting packages and video playback running comfortably. Pair it with an SSD and the machine responds far better than its age suggests. The integrated graphics drive a monitor for office work and video, but not for gaming.
Memory is DDR3 desktop modules, dual channel, up to 32 GB; DDR4 from a newer PC will not fit. The 95W rating is higher than later chips, so fit a cooler made for that heat rather than a slim low-profile unit.
This is a platform from 2011. It has no support for modern features such as NVMe booting on most boards, and Intel discontinued it long ago, so check the condition and warranty listed for the unit.
It is a sensible, inexpensive way to put an LGA 1155 board back to work as an office or counter PC.
