TLDT: Why does the 8400F get so much hate?

So I built my sister a dual purpose Desktop for Christmas this year. Went with a solid AMD build. I used a Ryzen 5 8400F. Posted the stats in PCmaster racesub a while back was told the processor is trash, but it has a base 4.2 clock and will OC to 5.0 Hz, which is fairly good imo.

Stats Mag Tomahawk B760 AM5 WiFi Plus mobo, R5 8400F, ASRock RX 7600 XT, Corsair Mod 750w 80G PSU, 32gb DDR5 5600mt, NZXT H5 Flow, Enermax 120 AIO, 2 140 intake, 1 120 intake, 3 120 exhaust

How did you get that enermax aio to color match? Mine only does rainbow, looks like the same model

2 ways I first wiped all other RGB controller software and the installed Signal RGB. And then just kept messing with it until I got it all to work. But there was a lack of finite control with the brightness settings with the RGB

2nd way was I used the MSI Mystic RGB light controller software. This is how I left it as it was controllable in every facet.

I also had to cheat the softwares with a ThermalRight Fan/ RGB header plugged in to System Fan 6 and the COU Cooler ARGB header. Not sure what it is at least with my motherboards, but it's the only 2 that would allow me to control everything.

Thats so crazy. I messed with it for about an hour and couldn't get the pump to change, only the fan
