Intel Core i5-2405S Review

The Package

Contrary to most of the CPUs we get coming through the OC3D labs the i5-2405S is a retail sample and so we have an actual box! Still, very little is different and if you’ve seen one processor box you’ve seen them all.

In keeping with the low power ethos of the i5-2405S the provided cooler is the non-tower Intel model. It’s got fins and a fan, but that’s about as close to a real heat-sink as it gets.

And here is the i5-2405S itself. Yes we know CPUs don’t make for the most exciting photos in the world. All the fancy bits are under the hood and without an electron microscope to hand this is the best we can offer.
