    Customers like the temperature of the computer processor. They mention that it runs cool and quietly, with reasonable temps.

    Corvette type performance for "Cruze" price.
    5 Stars
    Corvette type performance for "Cruze" price.
    Desktop build for CAD/Cam / Internet use client. I combined the i3 8100 with a Gigabyte B360M DS3H motherboard and 16 GB Corsair Vengeance Ram (LPX - 3000 MHz). I like the Rosewill Micro-ATX Mini Tower with its 4 USB ports in the front case cover (2 USB 3.1 and 2 USB 2.0). Also: Samsung 970 EVO 250GB - NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 SSD, EVGA 500-Watt (80+ White) power supply. This PC is the fastest Intel i3 I've ever built. My client previously was running an i7 with 16 GB ram. He could not believe how fast this rig was! He compared it to his old split window Corvette he had growing up. The overall combination of the Samsung 970 EVO SSD, 16 GB DDR4, Intel i3 8100 and the B360 system board is CRUSHING performance for just about any challenge.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfecto para armar una PC equilibrada para uso general
    Reviewed in Mexico on June 24, 2019
    Es mi primer procesador Quad Core nativo que he conseguido, antes ya he manejado procesadores dual core, cuyo rendimiento en tareas ofimáticas y de navegación web casi no se nota la diferencia del i3 8100 con estos, pero con juegos y tareas exigentes que demanden más nucleos cambia mucho la cosa. Esta es mi configuración ensamblado a fechas de hoy (21 de junio del 2019):

    (https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/17880894) según lo que dice aquí es un acorazado en términos de rendimiento para ser una PC de uso múltiples, pero nada aconsejable para jugar, pues no adquirí una GPU.
    MBD: Gigabyte Z390 AORUS PRO WIFI
    CPU: Intel Core i3-8100
    GPU: Intel UHD Graphics 630 (integrada)
    SSD: Kingston A1000 NVMe PCIe M.2 240GB
    HDD: Toshiba MQ02ABF100 1TB (secundario, para archivos personales)
    HDD: WD Blue 2.5" 500GB (para instalar juegos)
    RAM: Kingston HyperX 2400 C15 2x8GB

    Me gusta su desempeño en termino, de rendimiento puro, pues le he puesto a prueba con Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate y la conversión la realiza en minutos. También reproduce archivos MKV que están en resolución 4K sin que haya tartamudeo durante la misma, y puedo manejar hasta 3 procesos pesados al mismo tiempo sin que se bloquee la computadora.

    El procesador bien vale la pena la tediosa e insultante espera gracias a problemas internos (un producto no deseado que quise devolver y que afecto al primer envío) y externas (TODOCHEAP me mando el disipador dos veces cuando le adquirí el producto a este vendedor), me vino en una caja con ligera protección de unicel, pero llego en buen estado.

    El precio actual es perfecto para ser usado en maquinas para renders no tan exigentes, juegos que pidan requisitos no tal altos en CPU acompañados de una tarjeta de video (AMD Radeon 580/NVIDIA GTX 1660 como limite) y uso general.
