Another potential knock against F-series CPUs
Intel’s new F-series processors were already plenty interesting for dropping integrated graphics without being any cheaper, and now we may have learned they won’t feature nearly as robust cooling either.
It appears that momomo_US has got its hands on an Intel Core i5-9400F, removed its lid and revealed the processor will utilize a grease-based thermal interface material (TIM).

Beyond the dismay of hardcore fans, we've seen soldered TIMs reduce peak temperatures by 10 degrees Celsius, going from the Intel Core i7-8700K to and Core i9-9900K.
This is especially impressive considering that the latter Coffee Lake Refresh processor featured two more cores than its closest predecessor.
Going back to thermal grease to transfer heat between the processor dies and the integrated heatsink – in other words, the top cover of the CPU – would likely lead to higher temperatures once again.Intel Core i5-9400F— 188号 (@momomo_us) February 2, 2019

Want more soldered processors? AMD Ryzen 2nd Generation CPUs are a sure bet
We're also excited about Intel graphics cards potentially being on their way
Here's everything you need to know about Intel's latest HEDT family
It remains to be seen whether all the F-series Intel processors will come with a thermal grease-based TIM – especially those with K-series, soldered counterparts.
We certainly hope not, as this development would only add to the absurdity of processors that have no integrated graphics without any reduction in price.
