  • 6 Performance Cores (P-Cores)

  • 4 Efficient Cores (E-Cores)

• 16 Threads

Why this matters:

• P-Cores handle gaming and high-FPS workloads

• E-Cores manage background tasks efficiently

• Better frame stability compared to older 6-core CPUs

• Excellent balance between gaming and multitasking

Notes:

• F-series CPU → No integrated graphics

• Tray version → Requires an aftermarket CPU cooler

Thermals & Cooling

• The i5-14400F runs efficiently compared to older high-TDP Intel CPUs

• With a proper air cooler:

  • No thermal throttling

  • Quiet operation during long sessions

A liquid cooler is not required for this CPU.

Motherboard – ASUS PRIME B760M-K

Key Technical Information:

• Chipset: Intel B760

• Socket: LGA1700

• Form Factor: Micro-ATX

PCIe Support (Very Important):

• PCIe 4.0 x16 for the graphics card

  • RX 9060 XT runs at full performance

  • No bandwidth limitation or bottleneck

What this board is good for:

• Stable gaming systems

• Reliable power delivery for i5-14400F

• Simple, no-nonsense platform

• No CPU overclocking (expected for B760)

Graphics Card – ASUS Dual RX 9060 XT 16GB

Key Advantages:

• 16GB VRAM – important for modern and future games
