Pentium E5400 Dual Core 2.7 GHz

The Intel Pentium E5400 is a dual-core desktop processor running at 2.70 GHz with a 65 W thermal design. It targets basic office work, web browsing and light multitasking on legacy LGA-775 platforms.

LGA-775 Socket Installation

The CPU drops into a Socket T LGA-775 motherboard using the standard zero-insertion-force lever; no special tools are required. Bent socket pins on the board are the most common issue, so inspect the socket carefully before seating the chip.

2 MB L2 Cache and 800 MHz FSB

The 2 MB shared L2 cache and 800 MHz front-side bus handle everyday applications and older operating systems comfortably. Heavy multitasking or modern media encoding will exceed the available throughput and core count.

Questions about this item

Does this processor fit my LGA-775 motherboard?

Yes, the Pentium E5400 uses the LGA-775 socket, so it will physically install in any board with that socket.

Will my existing 65 W cooler handle this CPU?

The processor has a 65 W thermal design power, so a cooler rated for at least 65 W is sufficient.

What front-side-bus speed does the chip require?

The E5400 runs on an 800 MHz front-side bus; the motherboard chipset must support that speed.
