Review on ๐Ÿ’ป Intel Core i3-9100 Desktop Processor: Fast 4-Core Performance, up to 4.2 GHz, LGA1151 300 Series, 65W Power by Jeffrey Kue

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great Starter Chip: Internals

This was my first build and it worked great for about 5 months until I upgraded to i5 9600kf. One of the issues I had with this processor wasn't the processor itself but the included cooler, that flimsy cooler broke. The push pins broke all but 1 so I had a flimsy cooler held by a single push pin for about 5 months which gave me an average of 70C on standby and hit 100C many times. The other problem is that it struggles with "easy to start games" like Fortnite, but as expected Fortnite is more CPU dependent for this game, I recommend at least an i5 10400 or i5 9600k or better. This processor performed well with Gta 5 running at very high speeds with many graphics packs like NVME 2.0 and LA ROADS with many other car mods and packs at around 60-70 fps. I immediately noticed a difference to Fortnite when I put in the i5 9600kf with over 144 fps and about 500 fps without cap. It's almost the same in GTA at 144 frames per second.
