News Ryzen 5 7400F uses thermal paste instead of solder, chip hits max temps at stock TDP

[Admin]

AMD's new Ryzen 5 7400F uses normal thermal grease instead of STIM, which is shown to significantly impact thermals.

Sounds a lot like my old 4770k before I delidded it. But I did have to delid it to get it to 5Ghz.

This is a really good way to ruin all the momentum they've built up recently and destroy people's trust. Of course this won't be the tipping point of that, but continue on this path AMD and don't say I didn't warn you.

Really? That is a budget cpu and will run exactly as advertised with a stock air cooler under general loads.

Your warnings it's like a children at play ground crying.

That is a defective cheap cpu for who don't care of speed. Just want it to work without dropping more money into it.

"STIM has several advantages for CPUs as it's not only more thermally conductive but also lasts longer than normal thermal grease. Again, this has no perceivable impact on the average consumer"

Isn't that direct contradiction? If chip with thermal paste will last shorter then one with STIM then it DOES affect average consumer quite a lot.

As long as this thinking doesn't permeate into their mid-higher range CPUs, whatever corners they're cutting to make a budget Zen 4 CPU isn't important to me.

you mean people who whine that theres no low end amd cpu's who finally got one that is able to hit every claim of the chip just lacks OC headroom???


if you are buying a this low end of a cpu you won't have issues.

Extremely petty and unrelated, but I'm glad this was sourced on bilibili and not stinkin' reddit.

On the bright side at least it makes delidding easier, which no one will do because it's pointless.

Another path to value is to get the 7600, then do without a separate GPU. Sure, it's only 2 CU, but it has all the features of RDNA 2, including the media block. Enthusiasts can undervolt and overclock both CPU and iGPU.

Why not? I will definitely buy this. There is value and purpose for the 7400F. A great way and reason for me to finally enter the AM5 scene. It's cheap and a great budget chip for a small compact home entertainment PC.
