Intel Core i3-4130 3.4 3 FCLGA 1150 Processor BX80646I34130

Good processor at less rate

In 2003, my family bought a gaming PC with an Intel CPU. It was fast for the time but quickly became obsolete. It was VERY loud with its stock Intel fan and would put out enough heat to make a room many degrees above ambient even when just doing medium load work. In 2011, I got a laptop for college. With an Intel Core i5-2410m, it was alright for the time and could play most games up to 2007 (with quality adjustments for some). Though it still wasn't great for gaming; the integrated graphics just wasn't powerful enough to have any good experience. In 2014, I finally build my own computer. I had been planning it for ages but I finally did it in a spur of the moment type deal using PCPartpicker. Thus, it was pretty unplanned and I would have gotten different components and even waited so I could have used more money. But I am happy with this Intel Core i3-4130 3.4 GHz. It gives off next to no heat compared to my laptop and especially compared to my old desktop. Integrated graphics were VERY good and I was debating whether to just stay with integrated or buy a GPU. I eventually went with a GPU because it still couldn't run certain games. I put my old Nvidia GTS 250 in it and it was insane (goes to show you I've only used crappy computers through my life). Also, I had nightmares about fan noise (that's how loud my first desktop was). I played flying games on my old desktop and the stock cooler fan sounded like a jet engine so I always had to have my headphones with music or games playing to drown it out. Because of this, I was going to buy an after market fan but once I started it up, it was very quiet. I was surprised! Not only that, but the temperatures are very acceptable too. To finish, it's a great CPU even for moderate gamers! Just get a video card and you'll be set.

Windows 8が溢れているなか、Windows 7復活のために選んだCPUなんです。 どうしても、仕事でデスクPCでWindows 7が必要なんです。 なのでセブン復活させます。 どうもノートでは画面が小さいからね・・・ それと、Windows7はもう入れてないので（笑） 安く組めないかということで、ソケットLGA1150で選ぼうとか、LGA775あたりの旧世代も考えましたが、買うとなると、案外と安くはないですね。 それと、後でLGA1150にしとけばと思いそうなので・・・ Core i3-4130は、なかなか優秀なCPU との評判なので選んでみました。 最終的には、2コア4スレッドのCore i3-4130になりました。 コスパは最高ではないでしょうか！ 良いCPUですよ。

H87M-ITX,ISK-110,8GB RAM,2.5inch HDDと組み合わせてアイドル12.5W ネットや動画再生等負荷が軽い作業でも概ね20W以下で動作しています。 OCCT中3.33GHz表示なのは気になりますが… QSVやAES-NI等上位CPUの機能が一通り使える安価なCPUを求めるのであれば現状ベストチョイスでしょう。 Core2世代等数年前のPCから買い替えると電力の節約効果も出てきます。

This is an excellent processor for the money - especially if gotten on sale like I did (for about $120). I bought this to go with an MSI Z87-G43 board and it was an excellent upgrade for the money from an old AMD X3 processor and board (especially for about $250 bucks all together). I have this paired with 8 GB of Corsair Vengeance 1600 RAM and a WD Black 1TB hard drive and this processor is very zippy. It seems to multi-task very well - especially for a dual core. This does have hyper-threading, basically each core acts kind of as 2 cores and can run 2 sets of instructions at once. If I have multiple windows open, everything runs smoothly and things load fast with it. Often I have Pandora internet radio open while I do other things and it just flies. It's not a K series I-5 or I-7 but it definitely holds its own and is more than fast enough for me- especially for what I use it for. I am not an extreme gamer and I mostly just listen to music and surf the web, or watch movies like from Amazon prime or Netflix. I don't use the onboard graphics- I do have a 7770 graphics card, so I can't judge the graphics on it.
