Review: Ultra cool running fast CPU/GPU exceptional value for near silent very low profile Mini ITX HTPC builds. - Just completed 2 Mini ITX HTPC builds/rebuilds with these new Skylake chips. Wow! these units edge out the performance of my nearly 3 year old Ivy Bridge I7-3770S and I5-3570K builds for less than half the cost. Now and 3 years ago I used the best available Asrock ITX boards to enhance what I want in these units: feature rich power HTPC's that can run nearly silently with ultra low profile CPU fans without burning up. With the previous builds I had to use the motherboard's built in controls to slightly underclock the CPU's to get the thermal and quiet noise level patterns I wanted. Now I have used 2 new Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming-ITX/ac boards with thirteen buck Rosewill RCX-Z775-LP 80mm Sleeve Low Profile CPU Coolers that without underclocking run the new I3's quietly 10-15 Celsius lower than the old builds. Plus I now have HTPC's that have HDMI 2.0 ports that can run 4K video at 60Hz. I am not a gamer, so I also used the Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming-ITX/ac boards to get the new USB3.1 and C ports and upgraded Audio. I suspect that gamers on a budget could put the cash saved on this Skylake I3 into a good Graphics board and small SSD - and still have a rocking machine. Recommend: Don't skimp on the motherboard though. Update: 5/18/2016: Just saw some old comments/questions: Yes, I am using onboard graphics only. My HTPC enclosures are only about 8X8X2.5 inches. In these tiny boxes the older I7 & I5 Ivy Bridge temperatures ran up fan speeds and noise too much for my tastes while watching video, so I artificially under clocked them in the bios to reduce the thermal profiles and quiet the fans to unnoticeable beyond 12-18 inches away from the units. The I3 Skylake builds run quietly as HTPC's without bios setting modifications. The only time fan speeds and noise increase are during maintenance tasks such as virus scans and OS update installs which run quickly with the I3's. But for my personal preference for snappy maintenance, the G4400 or G4500 Skylake dual-cores might have worked well as HTPC's for me. I did build a totally silent HTPC using an Asrock Q1900DC-ITX board which includes an Intel Quad-Core Processor J1900 with fanless heat sink and built in DC/DC power for cheap. It runs well as a HTPC, but it's pokey running maintenance tasks, so like the I3's better
Review: Best CPU you can get on a budget (just be sure to get a discrete GPU if you're gaming) - I gotta say, I didn't think a $120ish i3 would impress me. I got it because I wanted to build a computer without breaking the bank, and reviews were kind to this little chip. Well, for like 95% of purposes, it not only does the job, but it does it WELL. Once I got my system built, I decided to stress-test it by doing things like video encoding, moving files, Excel calculations from last year's Quant class (at my college, quantitative chemical analysis is a very Excel-heavy course) and some gaming. Well, obviously with more highly threaded tasks, you're going to get more performance out of four physical cores (like an i5) and even more out of four physical cores with hyper-threading (like an i7), and it did reach mid 90's in terms of CPU utilization during the video encoding task. That said, the stock fan still managed to keep it cool during that task, which is nice. With everything else, it felt very quick- at no point did it feel like I was experiencing slowdown or anything. The only time it started to slow down a bit was when I was multitasking, with several downloads running simultaneously, plus moving files between drives and streaming music via Spotify. And surprisingly, it could run older games very well, even running newer games at low settings, but 1080p and playable framerates. But if you want to enable more graphical bells and whistles, my recommendation would be to get a discrete GPU, as the integrated graphics are respectable in comparison to older generations of Intel IGPs, but nothing special at all in the overall scheme of things.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth every penny, Perfect for a budget build
*by T***S on August 23, 2016*

I don't regret saving my money and going with an I3 instead of the more expensive Core i5. Why? I don't play games and don't need much for what I do. For what I need, this is perfect. Never once have I felt this processor was slow or that I should have went with the Core i5. I actually upgraded because my 7 year old Core 2 Quad Q6600 was taking forever to encode video. Encoding 1080p to MPEG2 would take 3-5 hours. Now it takes less than an hour. I was surprised to find that somehow Intel managed to make installing a CPU extremely easy. I didn't even notice any pins on this thing and it's way smaller than my old Core 2 Quad. I'm using the stock cooler and my PC is pretty much dead silent. Totally painless install in every way too. The only problem i've had is issues with the onboard video. I would get random black lines in Firefox and other apps for no reason. Barely noticeable. After upgrading to beta drivers the problem is gone. I'm seriously impressed at how much faster my computer is now compared to before. Even my solid state drive is running much faster. It sure is nice being able to boot up within 20 seconds. One thing I ABSOLUTELY HATE is Data Execution Protection (DEP in BIOS). Whenever I enable this nonsense it causes major crashes in both Windows 7 or Windows 10. It usually ends up with a program saying "This program has closed". I had to disable this "feature" in software and in the BIOS to keep from having my ancient programs crash non-stop.
