Socket FCLGA1151 desktop processor

The Intel Core i3-6100 is a dual-core, four-thread CPU with a 3.70 GHz base frequency and integrated Intel HD Graphics 530. It fits the LGA 1151 socket and supports up to 64 GB of system memory. This unit is a clean-pull part showing minor cosmetic signs of prior use but tested to OEM specifications.

Straightforward drop-in installation

The processor seats directly into an LGA 1151 motherboard socket with no extra brackets or adapters required. Because the package contains the CPU only, you must supply your own compatible cooler and thermal compound. The most common issue is bent socket pins on the board, so inspect the socket carefully before mounting the chip.

Verify motherboard and cooler compatibility

Confirm that your motherboard uses the LGA 1151 socket and that its BIOS supports 6th-generation Intel Core processors. Ensure your chosen cooler matches the LGA 1151 mounting pattern and that your power supply delivers sufficient current for the platform. The CPU alone weighs 0.5 kg and measures 0.25 cm on each side.
