Jan 17, 2012 · Got a i3 2100 finally and am looking into getting a video card. I would prefer to get something used from this current gen as the prices are very good. I am not brand loyal but it must run on my corsair 430watt psu. Games played are Fallout 3, new vegas Cod MW3 Dirt 2,3 Grid La Noire Res will be 1920x1080 on a 42inch hdtv so I will need to use ...

Apr 6, 2011 · Actually, there is no way at all whatsoever to overclock the i3-2100 except via whatever little latitude the BCLK offers. The best one can do with that CPU would be to overclock the BCLK by about 5MHz or so. This is because the i3 CPUs have no Turbo Boost feature whatsoever; thus, the maximum multiplier is permanently locked to stock.

Oct 21, 2012 · Single Intel® Xeon E3-1200 series, 2nd generation Intel Core® i3, Pentium®, Celeron® processor in an LGA 1155 socket. I was planning on putting a G530 1155 chip (Which is a celeron) in one and using ECC memory.

Aug 7, 2017 · The HD Graphics 2000 is for the second-gen Sandy Bridge i3's (e.g. the i3-2100), while your CPU is a sixth-gen Skylake i3. The correct Intel IGP driver is the one for the 6th-through-10th-Gen CPUs. Your IGP is actually the HD Graphics 530, not the HD Graphics 2000.

Jan 16, 2005 · If you price it out you can get an i3 (way better cpu), mobo and descrete graphics card (which will be better than the amds apu) for roughly the same price as the amd apu and mobo, the only thing that the amd combo will have an edge on is the mobo is probably better (more features and overclockable).

May 13, 2012 · Just ran intel1155_ecc_check2.c. on my i3-2100 and Supermicro C204 and ECC is enabled. Not sure why someone was insisting i3 sandy bridge woudn't be fully using ECC even with server chipset. Mar 31, 2016

Jun 21, 2011 · With the stock i3 2100 cooler and overclocked ever so slightly with bclk of 104,after 20 minutes of Small FFT Prime95 the cores topped out at 65C, idle at about 39C. Ventilation-wise the case is mediocre at best (Lian-li v1000 plus); my loudest fan seems to be the Gentle Typhoon AP-14 and probably because the case's fan grill is causing some ...

Jan 13, 2005 · The only caveat here manny is that the 2100T is NOT an upgrade over the i3 530, it's about the same performance for less power. So it's up to the OP to decide: 1. lower power, same performance = i3 2100T (35w) 2. Higher performance, ~the same power = i3 2100 (65w) Those chips are around the same price.

Aug 9, 2015 · Well according to AnandTech, your Q9650 is just about on par with a Sandy i3 2100 when it comes to gaming (scroll to bottom for gaming benchmarks). It appears the gaming benchmarks were done on a GTX 280. GTX 280 is about equal to …

Nov 11, 2012 · Like, yeah. Bottleneck a CPU with a GPU-heavy load and you can make any two CPUs perform exactly like each other. Take a 12-year-old i3 2100 chip and it is Just As Fast™ as a 14900KS when running nearly all games at 12K on a GTX 780.
