65 watt but also 3.6ghz with 6 cores. Great price!


A solid modern i3 CPU that works perfectly for a budget media PC. i3's are actually good since 9th gen, actually having boost clocks and are quad-core.

works well on a asus rog b760f with the supplied orbital fan. AI3 software runs in low power mode and turbos with game applications and stays under 78c average with a top down blower fan


Low power, good igpu, cheap

It's an Intel processor. Nothing new. It just works. You know what to expect with these processors since they've been basically the same for the last few generations. If you don't plan to overclock, skip the K variant and save some bucks.

+ Affordable for my needs + Can be over-clocked + Great CPU for the non-gamer + Average Temps well within specs + Wraith Cooler does fine for temps



-Runs cooler (when compared to my i7-7700K), probably because of no integrated graphics -Really not that much of a difference from my previous build performance-wise -My favorite game runs buttery smooth -Bought at a great discount price -More PCI-e, nevertheless it disables the 2 SATA ports I need if I use a 2nd M.2 drive. Not a pro but something to know and consider. Specs, whole new system: -ASUS MAXIMUS XI Z390 -Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR4 3200MHz -The Star of the Show -ASUS ROG GeForce GTX 16600 Ti OC -Creative Sound Blaster Z -Corsair MP510 960GB M.2 NVMe -Corsair RM1000i -Phanteks Evolv X Grey Case -$$$$$ Corsair Hydro X Cooling

good performance. good temperatures. efficient for parallel processes.

Easy to install Included cooler does the job CPU is fast

Built a PC for online work. This processor is perfect for this application. PC specs ASRock A320 motherboard Ryzen 3 4100 CPU 16 Gigs of DDR4 3200 RAM AMD RX550 graphics card with 4 Gigs of VRAM

-Can finally run arc raiders at 60-80 frames

(1) It works. (2) It is faster than my TR 1950X. (3) It is faster than my R9 7950X at multi-threaded tasks. (4) It can run WinUAE in real-time without the need for JIT.



Price was great, performance is also awesome ive OC'd mine beyond what it should be and its been running like a champ for almost a year now, no issues once so ever!

Over clocked to 5ghz and didn't break a sweat! 6 cores chews up and spits out any job I throw at it from gaming, to office apps, to cirtual machines. IT just tears it up!
