Looking for cpu

[damian61]

I have a form factory machine Lenovo Thinkcentre S510, with an i3 6100T. I'm looking a better cpu for this graphics card (GeForce GTX 1050 AERO ITX 2G OC). 

Any suggestion?

The i5-6400 would be a nice pairing with the GTX 1050.

i would say new platform but a new mobo is expensive. Go with the i5 7600k if you want to overclock and an i5 7600 if you aren't

Why 6th gen? 7th gen has better clocks and costs equally

Ah yeah, I forgot hat Skylake and Kaby Lake are compatible.

yeah Intel is like 14nm+++² but has 2 1151 sockets no idea why

I'm not sure that I will be able to overlock any cpu with this motherboard  (it has a B150 chipset)

ok than take an i5 7600 or 7500

Does the PC use a standard motherboard? In which case a Coffee I3 or Ryzen 3 and a new motherboard would cost the same as an I5, while performing the same.

I found a guy who is selling used hardware, i5 6500 is around 87 USD and the i5 7500 costs 126 USD.

You have to know if 40 are worth 11%

Honestly I wouldn't bother, your cpu is fine with that card. Unless you can find a good deal on a used chip (50$ or less) stick with what you have until you have enough money for a current gen setup.

I guess its a normal motherboard (LENOVO THINKCENTRE S510), Coffee Lake is a bit expensive now.

Those are bad sources.

 

The i3 6100T is perfect with your 1050.

What do you mean? Why is it bad source?

keep in mind it's a motherboard from a OEM prebuilt, is it even possible to update the OEM BIOS to allow a newer gen CPU? also, even if it's the same socket & the CPU fits, dosen't mean it'll work.

also, I'm sure Coffee Lake i3 would be a no go, AFAIK Skylake & Kaby Lake boards are not Compatible with Coffee Lake CPUs & vice versa, unless Intel changed their mind & allowed BIOS updates so people could offically use a i3-8350k on a cheap Z170 board?
