[SOLVED] Ordered a i5-10400, received i5-10600KF

[jm88]

I just ordered an i5-10400 with a B460 motherboard and they sent a 15-10600KF by mistake. I am assuming this will still work fine but is just a faster CPU, right? And it looks like KF doesn't have onboard graphics but I have a graphics card so this should work, right? Anything else I need to know?

You should know that you are really lucky.
And yes the 10600KF will work.
Talk about luck xD

Yes it should still work fine.
Your conscious my want you to contact the vendor and notify them of the error and see if they tell you to keep it for being honest....

I have a hyper 212. Only thing I worry about is if something goes wrong with it, then I don't know how the warranty might work.

How much did you pay for it?
i5-10600KF should cost ~€70 more than i5-10400.

It is from Amazon. I paid $178 and it looks like the i5-10600KF costs $240 there

Good deal. Enjoy.

You'll need a better cooler if you want any overclocking. You'll hit thermal throttling with any long processor intensive app like Encoding or Prime95. just at stock values.
if you aren't planning on OC, then I would suggest adding the rear fan to the 212 and call it done.
