Hi, I want to upgrade my PC CPU for online school and just light gaming on a low budget. I want to upgrade it from Pentium to Core i3. My motherboard is LGA 1150 socket with H81 Chipset. After I searched the online store I got 2 choices. i3 4170 3.7GHz with 3MB cache and i3 4330 3.5GHz with 4MB Intel® Smart Cache. Should I choose i3 4170 0.2Ghz higher frequency and Integrated Graphics Intel® HD Graphics 4400 or i3 4330 with 1MB larger Cache and Integrated Graphics Intel® HD Graphics 4600? The price of these two CPUs is the same, which is $41.55 (Convert from IDR 600,000 to Dollar) Sorry, I'm new user in Linus Tech Tips and newbie in PC Components Specifications of the 2 CPUs Above (Source ark.intel.com) [i3 4170] https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/77490/intel-core-i3-4170-processor-3m-cache-3-70-ghz.html CPU Specifications # of Cores 2 # of Threads 4 Processor Base Frequency 3.70 GHz Cache 3 MB Bus Speed 5 GT/s TDP 54 W Supplemental Information Embedded Options Available No Datasheet View now Memory Specifications Max Memory Size (dependent on memory type) 32 GB Memory Types DDR3-1333/1600, DDR3L-1333/1600 @ 1.5V Max # of Memory Channels 2 Max Memory Bandwidth 25.6 GB/s ECC Memory Supported ‡ Yes Processor Graphics Processor Graphics ‡ Intel® HD Graphics 4400 Graphics Base Frequency 350 MHz Graphics Max Dynamic Frequency 1.15 GHz Graphics Video Max Memory 2 GB Graphics Output eDP/DP/HDMI/DVI/VGA Max Resolution (HDMI)‡ 4096x2304@24Hz Max Resolution (DP)‡ 3840x2160@60Hz Max Resolution (eDP - Integrated Flat Panel)‡ 3840x2160@60Hz Max Resolution (VGA)‡ 1920x1200@60Hz DirectX* Support 11.1/12 OpenGL* Support 4.3 Intel® Quick Sync Video Yes Intel® InTru™ 3D Technology Yes Intel® Clear Video HD Technology Yes # of Displays Supported ‡ 3 Device ID 0x41E Expansion Options Scalability 1S Only PCI Express Revision Up to 3.0 PCI Express Configurations ‡ Up to 1x16, 2x8, 1x8+2x4 Max # of PCI Express Lanes 16 Package Specifications Sockets Supported FCLGA1150 Max CPU Configuration 1 Thermal Solution Specification PCG 2013C TCASE 72°C Package Size 37.5mm x 37.5mm Advanced Technologies Intel® Turbo Boost Technology ‡ No Intel vPro® Platform Eligibility ‡ No Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology ‡ Yes Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x) ‡ Yes Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) ‡ No Intel® VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT) ‡ Yes Intel® Transactional Synchronization Extensions No Intel® 64 ‡ Yes Instruction Set 64-bit Instruction Set Extensions Intel® SSE4.1, Intel® SSE4.2, Intel® AVX2 Idle States Yes Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology Yes Thermal Monitoring Technologies Yes Intel® Stable Image Platform Program (SIPP) No Security & Reliability Intel® AES New Instructions Yes Secure Key Yes Intel® Trusted Execution Technology ‡ No Execute Disable Bit ‡ Yes [i3 4330] https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/77769/intel-core-i3-4330-processor-4m-cache-3-50-ghz.html CPU Specifications # of Cores 2 # of Threads 4 Processor Base Frequency 3.50 GHz Cache 4 MB Intel® Smart Cache Bus Speed 5 GT/s TDP 54 W Supplemental Information Embedded Options Available Yes Datasheet View now Memory Specifications Max Memory Size (dependent on memory type) 32 GB Memory Types DDR3-1333/1600, DDR3L-1333/1600 @ 1.5V Max # of Memory Channels 2 Max Memory Bandwidth 25.6 GB/s ECC Memory Supported ‡ Yes Processor Graphics Processor Graphics ‡ Intel® HD Graphics 4600 Graphics Base Frequency 350 MHz Graphics Max Dynamic Frequency 1.15 GHz Graphics Video Max Memory 2 GB Graphics Output eDP/DP/HDMI/DVI/VGA Max Resolution (HDMI)‡ 4096x2304@24Hz Max Resolution (DP)‡ 3840x2160@60Hz Max Resolution (eDP - Integrated Flat Panel)‡ 3840x2160@60Hz Max Resolution (VGA)‡ 1920x1200@60Hz DirectX* Support 11.1/12 OpenGL* Support 4.3 Intel® Quick Sync Video Yes Intel® InTru™ 3D Technology Yes Intel® Clear Video HD Technology Yes # of Displays Supported ‡ 3 Device ID 0x412 Expansion Options Scalability 1S Only PCI Express Revision Up to 3.0 PCI Express Configurations ‡ Up to 1x16, 2x8, 1x8+2x4 Max # of PCI Express Lanes 16 Package Specifications Sockets Supported FCLGA1150 Max CPU Configuration 1 Thermal Solution Specification PCG 2013C TCASE 66.8°C Package Size 37.5mm x 37.5mm Advanced Technologies Intel® Turbo Boost Technology ‡ No Intel vPro® Platform Eligibility ‡ No Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology ‡ Yes Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x) ‡ Yes Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) ‡ No Intel® VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT) ‡ Yes Intel® Transactional Synchronization Extensions No Intel® 64 ‡ Yes Instruction Set 64-bit Instruction Set Extensions Intel® SSE4.1, Intel® SSE4.2, Intel® AVX2 Idle States Yes Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology Yes Thermal Monitoring Technologies Yes Intel® Stable Image Platform Program (SIPP) No Security & Reliability Intel® AES New Instructions Yes Intel® Trusted Execution Technology ‡ No Execute Disable Bit ‡ Yes

i wish i'm not in the wrong forum I build this pc about 3 weeks ago, cable management wasn't easy at all with this power supply, what you see now that's the best i can do with the cable. Processor : INTEL Core I3 6100 Mobo : Gigabyte GA H110M DS2 RAM : 4GB DDR4 2133 MHz from Apacer HDD : SEAGATE 1TB PSU : EVGA 430W CASE : CUBE GAMING LUXE ($20) I want to upgrade this pc a few months to go, i would like to add Grapic card (RX 470?) i want to play game though, with this current pc i can only play DOTA 2, more RAM, AIO COOLER, also want to change the crappy fan from the case with some decent fans What do you think guys? do you have any idea what to do with the cable from non modular power supply? it's rather irritate my eye

Hi, I am looking to buy a laptop, not a gaming as it is very expensive, but one that will hold me to some decent fps games and also allow me to modify it in the future, I have approximately 400 USD thank you all if you help me

I have a Lenovo G50-70 Laptop with the following config: 1. Intel Core i3 4030U @ 1.9 GHz 2. 16 GB LPDDR3 RAM 3. 240 GB SATA 3 Transcend SSD + 1 TB SATA 3 Toshiba HDD 4. AMD Radeon R5 M230 Discrete GPU 5. Lenovo Lancer 5A2 (U3E1) Motherboard Recently I noticed that my non turbo boostable processor is now shown with that feature enabled in HWinfo software. Also I am unable to turn on virtualization for my pc. Does anyone know anything about this ? I have already tried to update BIOS and tried to disable Hyper V Support in windows. But this didn't fix the issue. Those who know how to fix this please respond ASAP.

So i want to upgrade my PC but i'am now confuse to buy a new processor and motherboard What should i pick Ryzen 5 1400 with Motherboard a320 S2H V2 from Gigabyte or Intel Core i3 9100f with Motherboard MSI H310M VDH GPU : GTX 1050 RAM : Team Elite 2*4GB what is the better option for gaming and minor editing like photoshop and premiere pro Plis need your advice and sorry for my bad english XD

I have a i3-4150 and was think of upgrading to a i7-4770 for 250$ CAD of ebay. Was also thinking of a Ryzen 3 1200 but this would mean I would need to buy a new motherboard and ram. Which should I go with? Could I I still run games on high/ultra? Was also going to buy a 1060 3gb to go with each. PC specs i3-4150 Asus h81m-d plus 400w power supply 1tb hard drive Saphire R7 260x 2gb Any help would be appreciated

So i just got my i3 8100 yesterday im using the stock cooler and a r9 390 tri-x i have just 1 exhaust fan on the case , while playing cs go temp is around 61 degrees , but while playing rust on max i noticed the temp jumping up to 72 max. Should i be worried i will get an aftermarket cooler some time soon.

I'm thinking of building a pc and I've never built my own so far but i need a new computer and I was told building one is allot cheaper so i'm giving it a shot. My budget is around 1000$, and i'm going to be using my pc for a lot of video editing, and also gaming. I'm not looking to game at the highest settings, but I want to be able to play games at decent fps and graphics. I've come up with this so far: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/GJym6X Thoughts?

I have a HP All-In-One(http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04721856) that has been having problems with the display driver. It seems to be any time I try to do multiple things at once that is begins to crash or stop working and I believe it could be the CPU but i'm not sure since all i'm using is the integrated graphics. If anyone knows or has had this problem and might have a solution I would appreciate it.
