    106 customers mention99 positive7 negative

    Customers are satisfied with the quality of the computer processor. They mention that it is a nice CPU, with good ram, and makes a super fast and perfect little gaming CPU. The new 6th generation Intel Skylake Processors are amazing, and it is an awesome and cheap CPU. It is also a good CPU for light work load and does OK with gaming on medium to low settings. It was a great processor for my budget gaming PC build, and a top-quality MB.

    "...fact that it only has two physical cores scare you: it's tough enough to handle anything you throw at it." Read more

    "...Intel has been great with providing reliable, power efficient, and performance capable processors. This i3-6100 is no exception to that...." Read more

    "...It kicks ass in most or all games and I notice no frame drops/bottlenecking unless the CPU is being stressed to 100% constantly..." Read more

    "...Fast and capable...." Read more

    "...i like my new tire its so bounce and loves to play with things!!!!!!!!!! just joking i like your product" Read more

    23 customers mention23 positive0 negative

    Customers are satisfied with the temperature of the computer processor. They mention that it runs cool, does not generate much heat, and the stock fan is fine as is. The stock heatsink is plenty for this chip, and it installs very easily. The included fan comes RTU with thermal paste, and clips right in. Overall, customers are happy with the performance and ease of use of this product.

    "...Runs cool even with just the stock (included) cooler during most gaming situations, at least in my experience with it..." Read more

    "...The stock cooler was a breeze to install and has kept the processor nice and cool...." Read more

    "...It has plenty of processing power and it does not generate much heat, which means the fans do not have to run fast (and loud) to keep the system..." Read more

    "...It installs very easily and has thermal paste pre-applied (be careful not to smear it when you handle the HSF, as it's packed unprotected)...." Read more

    20 customers mention20 positive0 negative

    Customers find the installation of the computer processor to be straight forward, with easy to follow instructions. They also say the processor installs and benchmarks just fine, and is easy to upgrade. Customers also mention that everything went together very well and is running great.

    "...The stock cooler was a breeze to install and has kept the processor nice and cool...." Read more

    "...This step's through far better (and faster). I am now able to "run through", and not just go step by step...." Read more

    "...It installs very easily and has thermal paste pre-applied (be careful not to smear it when you handle the HSF, as it's packed unprotected)...." Read more

    9 customers mention9 positive0 negative

    Customers are satisfied with the frame rate of the computer processor. They mention that it is brilliant for 1080p gaming, and can even do higher resolutions pretty well. It gets a pretty good framerate on Fallout 4 at high settings, and smooth sailing at 1080P. It can render videos well, and is capable of smooth HD playback. The integrated graphics are respectable in comparison to older models, and play many light games such as Minecraft at around 40-60 fps on very high.

    "...recommendation would be to get a discrete GPU, as the integrated graphics are respectable in comparison to older generations of Intel IGPs, but..." Read more

    "...Can render videos well. Great budget product. Runs games extremely well...." Read more

    "...Was able to get consistent high frame rates in 1080p playing Battlefield 1, Battlefield 4 and CS-GO on high / ultra settings...." Read more

    "...Please note- it has built-in graphics processor. Unlike the i5 which does not...." Read more

    13 customers mention9 positive4 negative

    Customers have mixed opinions about the noise produced by the computer processor. Some mention that it runs quietly with the stock cooler, while others say that it provides equivalent cooling with much less noise. Some customers also mention that the fan is noisy and has a terrible tone.

    "...It provided equivalent cooling with much less noise. I downgraded this review by one star for the fan noise." Read more

    "...Included fan is quiet. I don't plan to OC so the stock cooler will remain." Read more

    "...fan keeps it at the 30-40 degree level without issue, and is quiet enough for my tastes." Read more

    "Got a 7.4 for Windows Index Score. Runs very quiet with stock fan and runs very cool @ 23 C degrees...." Read more

    excelente pieza de pc de muy buena calidad, muy buen desempeño ideal para armar una pc de potencia mediana para trabajos o entretenimiento muy estable en trabajos pesados como render o videojuegos siempre y cuando este instalado en una buena tarjeta madre y acompañada de confiable memoria ram y un buen discoduro o ssd. lo esencial para lo que lo voy a usar este procesador es mas para jugar video juegos que usan mayor recursos de computo, aunque podría haber comprado un core i7 pero primero quiero empezar con este procesador aparte quiero ver por mi propia cuenta que tal va en rendimiento y pues hasta ahora si cumple con todo el trabajo que le he puesto, es el primer core i3 que compro, había comprado procesadores mas bajos como el Pentium o atlon o phenom etc. pero pues este procesador es muy bueno en calidad precio en todo.
