## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the i5-8400 come with stock cooler/fan?**
A: Yes it does.  Confusingly, the box only says "thermal solution" as part of the contents list.  But there is in fact one of those small standard fan/cooler things.

**Q: Will this processor work with a msi ms-7721 motherboard with a fm2+ socket?**
A: No yet
Core i5 8400 support intel motherboard only with socket 1151 with 8gen onley

**Q: Would this be worth it if just starting a pc build?**
A: Yes this would be a great CPU for any build and the fact it's 6 core unlike the  previous model.  It's not a K processor and not overclockable but a great start with Turbo on it will go 4 Ghz which is fine for pretty much anything you may need.

**Q: Is this socket 1151?**
A: Sort of.  It’s 1151, but isn’t compatible with previous generation 1151 socketed motherboards.
