I plant to BUY the i5-8400 and I was wondering if that cooler is enough to use it with SIX cores and turbo boost on,with two case fans the case is  Deepcool Tesseract BF and the motherboard is the B360M D3H if THATS necessary to know.That heatsink is a cheap block of aluminum. I'd go with a heatsink with heat pipes that is rated for the CPU or liquid cooling.

Additionally the info online suggests that the PWM speed CONTROL of this heatsink fan might not exist and it might just be a 12 volt fan motor with no speed control from a newegg review on it.Is the Cooler Deepcool Ice Blade 200M good enough?Sounds like yer stuck on Deepcool...plenty of better coolers out there...just sayin.Yea I know but the problem is IM limited because of the country I live in (Macedonian)so Im only mentioning  the cheapest coolers I could find in my towns stores.If there is nothing better ... then i guess its a gamble and see if it will take the heat of that i5. If you dont overclock and use Arctic Silver thermal compound then you might be ok if the room the computer is in is cool all the time.Arctic Silver thermal compound is overpriced and overrated.Been using Arctic Silver for years with no issues... what do you suggest for a quality thermal compound then geek?Geek uses toothpaste...long story.
