Intel BX80684I38100 8th Gen Core i3-8100 Processor (BX80684I38100)

I set out to make a "nearly" silent PC, in that I didn't want to go fanless, but I wanted it to have the fans running so slowly (or off) during normal operation that it was silent, and it was only during intensive activities that the fans would ramp up. And I wanted a fair amount of horse-power too so that I could effortlessly do my engineering work (mechanical part creation and PCB layout work mostly). The key to doing that is getting both a CPU and GPU that while high horsepower are also very efficient and then cooling them with well designed heatsinks that don't take a large amount of airflow and fans that run quietly and allow for very granular control at low RPMs. For the CPU I'm glad I chose the Intel Core i3-8100. 14 nm technology allows them to have a 4-core processor running at 3.6 GHz but still only generates 65 watts. I don't think there's a better combination of horsepower and efficiency on the market right now. It's a real winner and when paired with the GTX 1050 Ti GPU, this computer rocks while not generating a lot of heat. Measured from the wall outlet, it's usually below 100 watts total. But it is also quiet. Pairing this CPU with a good CPU cooler (Cooler Master Hyper T2), a good fan (Noctua NF-B9) and powering it with an EVGA 650 GQ PSU in "eco mode" I have built a truly silent PC in all but the most intensive work situations. Using my pretty sensitive dB meter, I can not detect it being on. I have to do the test in the middle of the night, because even cars going by outside are detectable. But at 3 AM, it reads 21.1 dB with the PC off and 21.1 dB with it on. My stomach gurgles and the stupid thing goes up to 24 dB or I click the mouse and it goes up to over 30 dB so trust me when I say the dB meter is sensitive enough to detect pretty small readings. To be fair and give a caveat, to keep it silent, the fans are running at 13% on the rear of the case, 10% on the CPU and 5% on the GPU. But that's just enough air flow with the good heatsinks that in normal operation the system temp stays around 40 and both the CPU temp and GPU temps stay in the mid 50's.

The other companies have junk 2-pin fans, see my review on that product for more details on how I modded it to be more quiet.) 2 of 4 GB DDR4 2400 Kingston Fury DIMMs Samsung 960 EVO M.2 SSD EVGA 650 GQ PSU in eco mode

this is for the I3-8100. let me go ahead and save you the asking trouble, yes, this is a good upgrade from any sandybridge and haswell I3-I5, i came from the i5-2500k, which when the rig was first built was a beast, run any CPU intensive title with easy and load in-game assets like a boss. however, that was 6-5 years ago not now, it would hold up fine but was noticing (in games like battlefield 1 and gta 5) it just wasn't doing what it used to do, so i was gonna upgrade to a kabylake I5-6500 and BOOOOYY let me tell you I'm glad i didn't, i ran into money trouble and couldnt afford to upgrade at the moment so i waited, now even after hearing about the new Coffeelake CPU's i was still skeptical and was headed Down Kabylake lane until i saw the specs and price, wow, an I3 that preforms like an i5 for half the price? i gotta check this out and im glad i did. we put my pc against his I5-6500 build with basically the same specs and it was keeping up with an I5?!?! same frame rate, better temps and same well, everything! and his rig cost $300 more than mine (he needs a better cooler because his processor draws a LOT of heat and power) i was just amazed at the performance that i can get with this thing! anyway here are the specs down below and i hope that little story and comparison helped ( here's the specs) CPU I3-8100(stock fan lol) GPU GTX 1050ti 4gb MOBO Gigabyte Z370 HD3 RAM Corsair VengenceLPX DDR4 2400mhz PSU Rosewill 650 80+ARC CASE Rosewill Tyrfing SSHD Seagate FireCuda 2TB SSHD

This little Quad Core CPU Is A BEAST!!, I have been putting it through it's paces (on realworld apps) , I opened literally 8 tabs, 3 with video youtube, netflix,, and video player, without a hiccup, Using a MSI ATX Z370-A PRO Motherboard, and a ADATA XPG SX6000 PCIe 128GB 3D NAND PCIe Gen3x2 M.2 2280 SSD, GSkill Ripsaw DDR4 2133 MHz overclocked and stable to 2666 MHz it never went over 95F and had VERY LITTLE lag, So if you are a person who just wants a fast and stable future-proof computer don't hesitate it is really nice and pleasant to play with as well as doing gaming, if you paired this with a pretty decent GPU you can probably play 90% of modern triple "A" titles. Also makes a great CPU for a very good HTPC build....

Good price and very fast for basic user. I'm using stock heat sink and it's temps are reasonable. Its max fsb is 2166, so right now just buy whatever RAM is cheapest at the size you need. For Linux users, kernel 4.16 is the first version that fully support this, so make sure your distro has at least that. I had problems with centos and they won't have an upgrade version that supports 8 or 9 gen until mid- summer. Redhat 8, fedora, Ubuntu, mandriva and a bunch of other main stream are ready from install. It's more power than an average user needs for web or word processing. Even the Intel graphics are pretty good for 1080 and 4k. Totally worth the money

Had this in my system with a 1060 and worked like a charm! Was able to play ever game I wanted to with great FPS as well as VR! However, I wouldn’t recommend this if your doing something like streaming or video editing; in that case, get an i5 or i7 or the ryzen equivalents.

Too good

Recommended for entry level builds! Purchased for my son’s entry level gaming build. Cooled by a Hyper Evo 212 on a MSI Z370 A-Pro, it works flawlessly. I re-purposed a EVGA 970 SSC, along 32GB Trident Z 3200MHz RAM, and was hitting 80-110 FPS on Apex Legends Med/High settings. Fortnite averaged 101 FPS on High as well. 100% load, it stayed at 52 degrees (Celsius), sometimes with spikes to 61 degrees (Celsius) with spotify playing on the background and chrome opened with FB and YT (highest common RAM consumers). Multi-tasked without an issue, transitioning from game to apps/software without freezing or crashes. I’m sure that with lower RAM the goal can similarily be achieved.

Great bang for your buck. It has 4 cores it runs very smoothly. It's essentially a Kabylake i5 without the boost and 2666MHz ram. Can't go wrong for a budget build.

☆追記 殻割無し・水冷化して5.1GHzOC出来ました(電圧:1.42v)。詰めが甘いのでもう少し上を目指せる感じはしますが、温度は最大82℃。 メモリを高クロック品に交換、殻割りして設定を煮詰めればCINEBENCH R15でスコア900cb狙えそう...とまあ、こんな感じで「遊べるCPU」です。Corei i5-8400にはどう足掻いてもマルチスレッド性能は敵いませんが、OCしてシングルスレッド性能を求めたい人にはオススメです。 価格.comにも同じレビューをしていますが、こちらにも。本製品とCore i5-8400が同じような値段で発売されていましたが、「折角のZ370マザーボードであること」「久々にオーバークロックを試してみたい」この2つの理由で、本製品の購入に至りました。購入金額は、CPU・メモリ・マザーボード合わせて5万円くらいです。 〇PC構成〇 【CPU】 Intel Core i3-8350K 【CPU/C】 SCSK-1100 + UCTB9P 【DRAM】 Corsair DDR4-2666 4GB×2 【VGA】 Palit GeForce GTX760 2GB 【M/B】 ASRock Z370M Pro4 【HDD】 500GB×2 7200rpm 【PSU】 Antec EA-650 Green 【OS】 Windows10 Pro 64bit 【処理速度】★★★★★ 換装前はi5-4570、DDR3-1600 4GB×2構成で使用していましたので、比較対象にしてレビューします。無論、メモリクロック等に相違ありますが、ご了承下さい。 ベンチマークスコア □オンボード□ ■FF14 新生エオルゼア（1024×768 ノート標準）■ 8350K: 8957 4570: 5718 ■FF14 新生エオルゼア（1920×1080 最高品質）■ 8350K: 1887 4570: 1113 ■FF14 リベレーター（1024×728 ノート標準）■ 8350K: 1964 4570: 1775 ■FF14 リベレーター（1920×1080 最高画質）■ 8350K: 1219 4570: 852 ■CINEBENCH R15 - OpenGL■ 8350K: 60.67fps 4570: 32.85fps □CPU + GTX760□ ■CINEBENCH R15■ 8350K: Multi 672cb / Single 175cb 4570: Multi 539cb / Single 147cb ■3DMark SkyDiver/FireStrike/TimeSpy - CPU Score■ 8350K: 9013 / 9010 / 4032 4570: 7389 / 6770 / 3044 CPU-Zにて、CPUベンチマークを取ってリファレンススコアと比較してみると、「Core i5-7600K」「Core i7-2600K」辺りと同等程度の結果でした。 【発熱/省電力性】★★★★★ 回転数は殆ど同じ設定ですが、12cmファンを1つ追加してしまったので同じ環境とは言えませんが。 [30℃/0％][40℃/30％][50℃/50％][75℃/80％][80℃/100％] □オンボード□ ■CPU・GPU温度 - Core1～4 （OCCT 電源負荷）■ 8350K: 62℃ / 60℃ / 62℃ / 61℃ - GPU？℃（表示無） 4570: 64℃ / 63℃ / 64℃ / 64℃ - GPU 69℃ ■各負荷時、消費電力 （OCCT各テスト）■ アイドル時： 8350K→ 40.6W / 4570→ 64.2W CPUのみ： 8350K→ 101W / 4570→ 129W GPUのみ： 8350K→ 75W / 4570→ 108W CPU/GPU： 8350K→ 117W / 4570→ 166W 【互換性】☆☆☆☆☆ 某マザーボードメーカーは、Z270とCoffeelakeに互換性を持たせることは可能であるが、Intelが許可しないとの事。実際に動かしていた猛者もいらっしゃったみたいですよ。 【総評】★★★★★ 前述の通り、「Core i5-7600K」「Core i7-2600K」両者定格と同等程度の性能を持ち合わせています。逆に言ってしまうと、シングルスレッド・マルチスレッド性能がそこそこ高いCPUが2万円そこらで購入できる時代が到来しました。 内蔵GPUも中々なもので、HD Graphics 4600にティアリングがかなりありましたが、UHD Graphics 630には殆ど見受けられませんでした。 追記の通り、マルチスレッド性能を求めるのであればRyzenやCore i5-8400をお勧めします。でも、よくよく調べてみるとゲームfpsでi7-7700と比較している動画がありましたが、タイトルによっては殆ど遜色無い数値が出ているものもありました。

Fast and stable. That's not a political comment! Was considering a Ryzen 1300+, but opted for this instead in the end as it was priced a little cheaper and all the benchmarks I've seen (even with the AMD overclocked) saw it run on a par or faster than the AMD. I had to get a z370 board, but there was an offer on Gigabyte z370-D3 for only about £15 more than the ASRock I was looking at and so far the gigabyte board paring has worked well. I figured I'm getting a better featured board anyway with the ability to expand in the future (over clocking a future processor/memory if I should require). I know that AMD though are going to support their AM platform until 2020, so maybe when I upgrade I'll need a new board anyway if I don't opt for a second hand chip when this intel socket/platform has been superseded. I hadn't built a computer for about 14 years, so just wanted it to work with the least hassle. Seems rock solid so far.

SSDと一緒に交換したこともあるかもしれませんがサクサク動いて快適です。i5も考えましたが、6コアが必要なほど負荷もかけないので、値段も考えると普通使いにはこちらで十分な気がします。

un i3, 4 coeurs à moins de 100 euros avec ventirad? Excellent pour une petite configuration multi usage ! Simple a installé, aucun problème détecté. carte mère mise à jour pour tirer le meilleur de ce petit mais costaud processeur.
