Setup, Compatibility & Care
The G6400 uses the LGA 1200 socket, meaning it is compatible with motherboards supporting 10th generation Intel Core processors. When installing, ensure you have a compatible cooler, as tray processors typically do not include one in the package. Use high-quality thermal paste between the CPU heat spreader and your cooler for optimal thermal transfer. To maintain longevity, ensure your case has proper airflow to keep temperatures below the 100°C Tjunction limit. Always handle the processor by the edges to avoid touching the gold contact pins on the underside.
