Intel Core i3-10105

They are slow processors but for mining or just downloading/surfing the web they work great. They have an improved Intel CPU cooler. I recommend them if you know what you're getting and what it's good for. It's not for gaming and not a 'work station' CPU at all. But for my use (mining) awesome and inexpensive. I bought a used one for $27.50 shipped free. (nice!) Use linux if you want it to be snappy fast.

It's amazing how powerfull it is with 4 core and 8 threads for its price. it's like a previous i7 pre 6th gen. This is the one with integrated video (UHD 630) that is OK for office and regular use. If you are planning to install a proper graphics card you can shave about $30 and go for the F variant. I'm happy with this purchase

It is a good CPU for an office build or budget based build. It works well enough for the day to day casual use, media consumption, surfing, good with Office docs and such. The integrated graphics are sufficient for your typical static screen stuff. Video playback on full screen for movies can show its limitations and the graphics on this model just hit the last supported driver update, but that really shouldn't matter. Using this for an office build that I already had most of the parts from upgrading another PC. This is more powerful than the mobile CPU I was using in the laptop. It is cool, quiet*, and 'good enough' to drive daily for now without feeling like I am waiting around. Certainly not the fastest thing around but expected performance level to skew and pricing. This one is cheaper than its slower 10100 counterpart and ever so slightly faster. *The stock fan coming with is a plus, but stock Intel fans, and particularly before the refresh are pretty terrible for performance and noise generation. It is not that I would suggest doing so, but I had a leftover Noctua low profile 92mm (fan) cooler that I put on this and it works REALLY well for it. The cooler cost nearly half the price of this i3 CPU, so I am not recommending you do so, per se...but ANY half decent aftermarket cooler is going to work better and be quieter while doing so.

The purpose I bought this trustworthy CPU because I try to rebuild the RAID, but I then turn around using Windows soft RAID. As everyone know, good product, reliable company.
