Intel Core i5-9400 & Chipset Limitations?

I've been looking at building a new PC and came across the Intel Core i5-9400 CPU. It seems great but has some limitations with chipsets. Could you help me understand what these limitations are?

Sure thing, @nicenoveltyaccount! The 9400 doesn't support overclocking, so you won't need the top-of-the-line Z390 or Z370 chipsets. You can use other 300-series chipsets like H370, B365, B360, H310, and Q370.

I've actually read an article about this on TechReviewer! The link discusses all compatible chipsets for the i5-9400 CPU in detail. Check it out here Which Chipsets Work With Intel's Core i5-9400 CPU?.

That's really useful, @Beto1989! Thanks for sharing that. It seems like H370 would be a good option, but are there any other recommendations?

Yeah, H370 is a decent choice for sure. But depending on your budget and needs, you might want to look into B360 or even H310.

I've been using the i5-9400 with a Q370 chipset for a couple of months now. Performance has been great! I'd recommend giving it a try if you're looking for a reliable option.

Great to know, @KsGaming2! Thanks for sharing your experience. I think I'll start researching more about these chipsets and see which one fits my needs best.

Sounds like a plan, @nicenoveltyaccount! Just keep in mind the different features each chipset offers, so you can make an informed decision.

Absolutely right, @starwyvern! Good luck with your build, @nicenoveltyaccount. I'm sure you'll end up with a great PC.

Thanks for all the help, everyone! Time to get building!
