A great proceor for an entry level gaming PC. I ued thi in my new HTPC. It’ been a couple of month now and it’s still going strong and handling games like Doom (2016) just fine, with my Asus GT 1030. It’s not high end, but if you have a graphics card and just want to game, this will serve you fine.

The great deal on the G3240 eem like they’re gone o thi i the next bet thing. This is basically a budget core i3 since it has hyper threading. Using this in a FreeNA build with Plex, works great and can handle multiple 1080 streams being transcoded without a hitch. Just make sure any 100 series motherboards are flashed to the latest bios otherwise it won’t post. IMO if you want to avoid the hassle of returning a motherboard just spend a few extra bucks for the H270 chipset.

Great cheap proceor

Great performance for the price. Pair thi little guy with a GTX 1060 and you’ll be golden. However, be careful a anything over a GTX 1060 GPU your CPU will bottle neck your rig.I recommend a non-windowed caed if you aren’t upgrading the tock cooler a it’ not that pretty.

Bought for a imple economic Hometheather PC (imple HD content) .The lat one wa an AMD build. It wa an awful experience. Really unreliable. Like way too much.Intel i really expensive for the easy and affordable that technology is nowadays.An iCore processor was too expensive for just playing some Netflix and other online streaming videos.But a friend recommended me the Pentium series. I forgot about them after the P4’s. Pentiums are not dead and they’re still really reliable!

No complaint yet. The ystem is very snappy and should be overkill for regular day to day tasks such as Word, Outlook, Excel, web page viewing, youtube, etc. Maybe even C:GO if I even played that game lol

If you are on a budget, thi CPU i great for you! Here are my ome input for thi product:-It i hyperthreaded!-It hasn’t been on the market long, and no one really sees the performance of this CPU, but it runs really great benchmarks. (sites like canyourunit doesn’t pick up this CPU as being a strong CPU, so it has a 23 percentile rating in their system, but I can tell, pairing it up with a GTX 1060 will allow you to play most, of not all, games on 2k resolution Med/High/ Ultra)-Do not make a rookie mistake as Carlos mentioned, please do some research and see if the BIO for the motherboard is supported by this CPU. Again, it is still pretty recent, but I would make sure that your motherboard supports: LGA 1151 (of course), upports 7th Gen Intel Processors (Kaby Lake), and Intel 200/1001 Chipset Compatability. I bought an AU B150M-PLU D3, and no matter what troubleshooting I did, it would not POT. I then returned it for an ARock B250M Pro4, and it worked like a charm. You don’t want your first PC build to be as frustrating as mine haha.-Over all, VERY great price for a CPU at a budget build! it runs just as good as an i3 Core Processor, but again, it’s quiet new on the market, so this CPU hasn’t been quite popular – yet.

Great proceor for the money. Came with cooling fan and what i aumed wa a kind of thermal paste already on the heat sink. Paired with an Asus H110M-A mobo, it booted up fine. The mobo says for use with 6th gen, but the one i got works with 7th gen aswell. If you’re unsure, call the manufacturer to confirm.Great upgrade for my rig and fits perfectly in a sub-$600 budget gaming rig. Picked up a GTX 1060 3GB, 8GB RAM, amsung D, and 450w PU and can run new games like BF1 on medium settings flawlessly. Not bad for a build on a budget.

Thi i a good processor for the price. If you are a hardcore gamer or you do HD 4k video editing this is not for you, but for everyday use such as browsing the internet, watching videos, multitasking, simple video or audio editing it perfect. It can handle some gaming with mid-level quality rendering as well. I built a system for my wife with the Intel G3240 CPU, ARock Z270M-ITX mother board, ANTEC IK110 VEA-U3 mini ITX case and a 27” hp monitor, amsung 250GB vevo D hard drive, 8Gb CORAIR Vengeance LPX 8GB and this thing its super-fast and works great for what I have explained above. Highly recommended.

Thi CPU’ performance i fantatic relative to it price! However, if Intel had spent just a few cents more making the fan more quiet I would have awarded five stars. Even at the lowest possible speed, the fan is making a gnawing annoying sound. I am sure a lot of people don’t mind, but I do, so I have to buy another $40 aftermarket (Noctua) fan to make the CPU quiet. In any case, an awesome CPU for the money, but does need aftermarket cooling.

Ye, I know how Intel chips are binned, and that they all start as i7(or now i9) but still… law of diminishing return definitely applies here.This is one of those times in production when two products end up having no significant difference other than badge. In fact this is even a better buy than the slightly lower clocked kylake i5 chips if you need error correcting ram, because the i line doesn’t even support it. (Do they even make error correcting ram for 1151 mobos? IDK but this chip’s sheet says it will work if you ever find some.) 😂

Thi CPU i the bet price to Performance CPU on the market. Period. I can ay that with 100% no regret, look up any video that pit it against an i5 or i7 (hould probably mention now i’m talking about gaming performance, so FP numbers, if i was talking about video rendering etc it would get destroyed but i5 and i7) it’s just a 2-3 fps difference for an i7 and if you’re wanting a pc purely for gaming why spend an extra £300-400 for 2-3 fps?! I have this paired with a GTX 1060 6GB (And i WOULD NOT recommend any GPU above the 1060 as you’ll get diminishing performance) and it smashed games, i get 50-60FP on GTA V Maxed out! At 1080p with the very rare drop in the 40’s when driving super fast through the city with high speed cop chase action, and get solid 60’s in Dishonoured 2 (Very High ettings) DOOM (Very High ettings) no stuttering issues or anything, it’s just perfect, and i also love the 51W TDP it’s very efficient on energy consumption and the temperatures are also very very good, have not gone above 60c yet and that’s paired with the Noctua NH-L9i, which by the i highly recommend, quietest fan i’ve ever seen (Or heard haha) and very premium, definitely get what you pay for.All in all i highly recommend this CPU if all you want to do is game and you like getting the most out of your money like me!Also forgot to mention with the hyper threading tricking games into thinking you have 4 cores is very beneficial as most games refuse to open on dual core processors but they all open with this because of the hyper threading 🙂

New Kaby Lake Generation 7 Come with quiet fan and heat ink and powerful built in graphic and give good rating.Work as well as an i7-7600U for example. ( around Passmark 5000 ).Totally cool, quiet and trouble free.A nice touch is that I have it on a variable CPU fan MB H270M-itx/ac Kaby Lake MB and fan never come on.Recommended and Is all you need for most Computer thingsIf you not need the top Graphics there are cheaper versions.

Great budget proceor. Wa looking for the G3240 which i uppoed to be cheaper but out of stock almost everywhere. The few places that had it jacked the price up more that this 3240. The 3240 is only slightly faster but has a better graphics package. Very pleased.

Da el mimo reultado que un i3 6100, cueta mucho meno y eo puede er enviado a otros componentes como una tarjeta de video mejor, lo uso con una gtx 970 y no le hace cuello de botella, corre todo muy bien en el htpc que tengo y no ocupas refrigeración extra ya que tiene un consumo muy bajo entonces el disipador de stock jala muy bien, muy recomendado aun solo los graficos HD 630 con buena memoria te deben dar buen rendimiento en juegos tipo moba

Total teal in price to performance. Run WoW, LoL, CGO, Rocket League, and OW perfectly at 1080p. The hyper threading i a huge deal here for 80$ getting almot i5 performance in almot all game as they are typically ingle thread, and 4 threads at most. I had it paired with a free used GTX 970 for a gift build for a friend and it was incredible for it’s cost. If you can find a way to OC it on your board (bios flash) you could even get more out of it.

Hata ahora olo habia tenido i3, tambien i5 de varia generacione atra, y este Pentium vaya que sorprende por su increible desempeño en cualquier tarea que se le ponga, incluso sus graficos integrados pueden correr juegos aunque no tan espectaculares como una tarjeta dedicada, si lo suficientemente decentes como para terminar alguno, despues de un mes de jugar sin tarjeta grafica le puse una 1050ti y ahora si los juegos van mucho mejor con settings altos o al maximo, su temperatura con el ventilador de stock no llega a los 60°C se mantiene en los 50-55 despues de una sesion de una hora de juego, el unico pero es para el ventilador que si hace un ruido un poco molesto aunque no como para restarle una estrella.

Picked thi up for around £70 which i lightly cheaper than the G3240 depite being lightly quicker.Moved from a G4500 and with a Gtx1050 the difference i astounding. My GPU no longer stutters even when running on very high or Ultra settings. Even though I only have 2gb GPU vram this Pentium somehow makes up for it. CPU intensive games like NM or Prey are no longer an issue and the graphics now pop. I can’t believe a cheap CPU would make such a difference.I know there are multiple core processors that are much better but for a budget gaming system this can’t be beaten.

A quad-core Pentium?? Well dual-core with hyper threading. But thi thing i great. Ued for a baic build that will be used for light photo editing and college work, this thing does the job efficiently and stays cool. 3.6GHz is plenty for the user, and on a B250 motherboard, I can install a faster processor if needed. For $90 at the time, this is a steal. Don’t even bother looking at the Kaby Lake i3’s. It’s either this, or the i5 7400. I had originally planned on getting the G3240, but the 3240 was cheaper at the time so why not. 0.1 higher clock with better integrated graphics is a no brainer. I installed it in a Asus trix B250i ITX motherboard, paired with an D, this thing is as fast as my 6700K in basic tasks. I think it would do fine for a 1080p gaming build as well. But once you get into 1440p or higher refreshes than 60Hz, you may want a chip with more physical cores in order to keep up with the GPU.Overall, no issues with this CPU. As everyone knows, the stock Intel cooler is loud and ugly, but it does work. You can always get another cooler, and it does not have to be a beefy one because this chip is low power anyway! I plan on using this in another build I have coming up, a 1080p gaming build for a client on a budget.

Tetsuclaw –
The media could not be loaded.
&nbp;I purchaed thi over a G3240 becaue it had Intel HD 630 graphic intead of the 610 graphics. The HTPC I am using this in is not using a dedicated video card but I can upgrade to one in the future if I ever care to. Runs very well, my P2 emulator plays just fine on this CPU and same with daily driver tasks. Even though I have a separate gaming PC I decided to try it with world of warcraft and found I would still need a video card to have a decent gaming experience. If you want to see that video go to youtube and search Tetsuclaw, once there look for a video named “Intel HD 630 graphics with World of Warcraft”.The stock cooler is more than ample to keep this CPU cool and I don’t recommend buying another cooler unless you want less noise or better looks. You will not get any extra performance changing the cooler. I will add a video for temps and cinebench results of this CPU.

I am o impresed with this chip, G3240 7th Gen.!I chose to use the GIGABYTE GA-B250M-D3H motherboard and a WD Blue 250GB Internal D (M.2).I used the Rosewill Micro-ATX Mini Tower Computer Case with Dual UB 3.0 and also added a LG WH16N40 16X Blu-ray BD/BDXL/MD M-DIC Burner Drive. I added PNY Anarchy 16GB Kit (2x8GB) DDR4 2400MHz (PC4-19200) CL15 RAM and a GEFORCE GTX 750 with 2 GB GDDR5.Anyways, it’s a dual core chip threaded to four cores. This CPU is fast. With an M.2 D it screws to the system board. All reads and writes are on a small D chip, 250 GB of rompin-stompin 6 Gb/s storage. I used a 1 TB, 7200 RPM, 64 MB Cache mechanical hard drive as my File History/ Backup drive.o much potential with this chip.

Very capable dual core cpu. Uing it at the workplace for internet browing and email drafting. It replace an intel core 2 duo ytem and the bump in performance is very noticeable and welcome! I can even imaging running light games on this a la Rocket League / LOL / DotaOnly downside is that it forces you to install windows 10 if you care about getting security and feature updates from Microsoft. Any older o/s in not “supported”/edit/updateThought I’d mention that coupling this CPU with a GTX1060 transformed it into a decent gaming computer capable of medium to high settings in such games as Fortnite, PUBG, ROE, Call of Duty BO4, 60 fps steady! very impressive! This is coming from an 7700k/gtx1080 owner!

It’ great. Very table and running all the normal office/internet application at optimal peeds.Did a budget gaming rig for my girlfriend and she doesn’t even need a dedicated GPU to run what she needs right now.he plays strategy/sim type games so obviously it’s not running Doom 2016 or anything but it’s perfect for what she needs. If you wanted to play some modern 3D games throw a GPU in, but you would be surprised what a modern dual core w/ integrated graphics engine can do.

– Hypethreaded Pentium.- Literally an i3-6100 but cheaper- cored of 389 on cinebenchWarning:If you are going to ue a 100-erie motherboard, do ome reearch firt and find out if this CPU is compatible and what BIO version you need to have in order to use it; your motherboard will not even POT otherwise and you WILL need a compatible kylake CPU in order to update the BIO. I had a hard time give I got myself a B150 motherboard, rookie mistake. Managed to get a friend to lend me his CPU, updated and problem solved. Try to get 2400mhz RAM if you use this CPU to squeeze out extra performance!Do whatever you want with this information

Wow – teamed thi up with ARock H270M-ITX/ac board, tock Crucial DDR4 memory, and baic Kingston D for a low power, high bang for the buck non-gaming system. Even with my cheap components, benchmarks better than my old third Gen i5 desktop with discrete graphics. This Pentium is similar in performance to the previous kylake i3, and has better integrated graphics and multithreading. I’m using for Office apps, video capture and editing, web, email and nothing yet has stressed the capability of this processor.

Bought it for a mining motherboard with 6 PCIe lot a crypto mining ue GPU. It come with fan and pre-pasted thermal compound. The price was good for a low power CPU with good performance (Windows 10).

i wa going to buy the g4650 but ince avaibility wa hort on them got the g3240 ince price wa close i did not have to pay for delevry since i buy a case whit it.Performance wise difficult to say but since this product got 4 tread two core is nice budget one versu a i3 wich is more expensive and don’t deliver very much more.gaming on the budget if you aim at older game 2015 and under should do it as long you aim at low setting pair it whit a rx 470 or 1050ti and your good to go for better i my self buy a rx 480 which make my cpu bottle neck on certain AAA tittle a bit but since i aiming at 45 to 60 frame medium to ultra depending on game no worry here.nice option since war on cpu side begin amdVintel may get a new option in two years and resell this one may get better value of it from g3240 since better build-in graphic hd6300

A pear de er la primera vez que armo una computadora, no me cotó ningún trabajo intalar ete procesador en el motherboard. Me gustó que ya incluye una capa de gel térmico para el ventilador, así que no es necesario comprar uno por separado. Hasta ahora no he tenido problema con el uso del procesador, la computadora corre bastante rápido y sin problemas (incluso sin usar un disco de estado sólido).Ahora, la computadora que armé era sólo para juego básico, pero el procesador me ha levantado juegos equivalentes a séptima generación de consolas en configuración máxima sin problemas. in embargo, juegos posteriores (de los últimos 5 años o así) sólo los levanta en configuración media o mínima.Considero que por el precio, es un excelente procesador que hace bastante bien su trabajo, muy bueno para una primera computadora personalmente armada.

El mejor proceador en el rango de precio, tiene el mimo rendimiento que un i3. 6100 o un 7100 para no tener cuello de botella yo recomiendo acompañarlo máximo de una gtx 1060 o una rx480
