  • press 2 then seven it cuts the video in half!

  • Press 2 then 3 !!

  • Press 2 then 6 !!

  • Core i3 will be best if have 4 real cores ;P

  • hes gay right

  • @88zpeedy

    hes straight. he is married

  • SUBTITLE ON SPANISH PLEASE PLEASE (PORFAVOR)

  • Also, I am using Intel Stock Cooler. My processor, i3 540 is still running at 40 degrees Celsius!

  • I owned intel core i3 540 and it's constantly running at 40 degress celsius! Plus, my room temperature seems a bit warm right now.

  • some one plz tell me if i can run team fortress 2 smoothly with all high settings except for anti aliasing with a gt220 and i3 530?

  • @hdgaming128

    Heck you barely need the GT 220.

  • 0:08 epic face

  • What is the maximum load temp for core i3 550 on stock cooler??

  • how much iram does core i3 hold? and is it ddr2 or ddr3?

  • how much does intel core i3 530 2.99 Ghz cost?

  • hey wat up.can I upgrade my i3 530 to i7 what do I have to do.please help.I have a gaming pc with 6gb

  • Which is better intel core I3 530 or athlon x3 435?

  • i have a i3 530.Can i upgrade to a i5 750 or 760? thanks!

  • @SuperBG78

    Both are LGA1156, should be fine.

  • Comment removed

  • @Usul573 great! thanks a lot :)

  • @SuperBG78

    One minor note, the Core i3-530 has an IGP and Core i5-750 and Core i5-760 don't, what graphics are you going to use?

  • @Usul573 GTX 460 768mb SC,i think it's a good card for this cpu:)

  • @SuperBG78

    Ah should be good, just checking

    Core i7-860 and Core i7-870 use the same socket too.

    Sadly I think LGA1156 won't be supported with future processors much.

  • @Usul573 it's good to know i7 870 works with lga 1156:) but i see the price,150-175$ more:O i5 760 will be great because i don't play everyday:)

  • @SuperBG78

    Really?

    From where I'm looking, looks like Core i5-750 is $195, Core i5-760 is $209, Core i7-860 is $270, and Core i7-870 is $280.

    That's what Newegg and Amazon have for price.

    Barely any games will have a noticeable difference between a Core i5-760 and Core i7-870 probably though. A few do recommend Core i7 though and there's something about saying "I HAVE A CORE i7!" That is awesome.

    Looks like Sandy Bridge will all be LGA 1155 though.

  • @Usul573 humm 60$ more for a i7 860! it's the lowest price I've seen:)thanks for the tips

  • @SuperBG78

    Another $10 for the i7-870, some people might say going from i5 quad core to i7 quad core is a waste for gaming, I dunno, I say life is too short!! Your computer. Later.

  • @Usul573 it doesn't !

  • @no1Reality

    What?

    I have a bunch of old comments on this video, out of context.

  • @Usul573 what ?

  • can any one tell me

    what level of graphics core i3 will provide of asus 7h55d pro

  • Poop.

  • Does this one is better then the AMD atlhon II x3 440?

    please reply

  • @babbobs Yes, is much better.

  • This guy's usually full of bs.

    Price/performance ? This cpu is heavily overpriced, the motherboards are expensive, when you compare them to amd offerings, and an athlon x4 is actually cheaper than the core i3 where I live.

  • @emshains doesnt mean it is everywhere... i3 530 beat the x3 720 which was nice...

  • no copper on cooler? = economic cooler :)

  • @Allosaurus87 intel dosent use copper cooler! thats why AMD has better cooling unit! :D

  • Is that i3 530 really better than Core 2 Duo?

  • @Billabongs122988

    It's better than most of them, at a few benchmarks a few of the fastest core 2 duos can be better.

  • So is this CPU good for gaming?

  • @worldbmx It's great if you are going to do overclocking, some people have gotten this to 4.4 ghz. If you are running at stock just get a i5 750 or i7 800 series, they are all lga 1156.

  • @worldbmx Yes, very good.

  • i still want a SSD drive . they are awesome .

    im gonna get me one of those next.

  • Wow he speaks really fast!

  • Do you sleep at all dude? Eny way it's very good processor on laptop's. I have one of those but it's 330m model.

  • thnx for the info ,your do a great job.

  • Wat games can u play on intel core i3-530???

  • Comment removed

  • @Usul573 idk wat integrated graphics r

  • Comment removed

  • @robortalien ive tested assassins greed 1 + 2 on it some setting on highest ,some settings as vertical sync switched off since i didnt needed it. ,dirt 2 on highest settings ,GTA 4 highest settings

    alien breed impact .

    tombraider underworld on high ,modern warfare 2 on high

    thats all i tested on my friends pc after we build it .

    all on a overclocked i3 530

    like i said before it auto overclocked to 3.520

    i gues it all depends on the grafics card you put in.

  • i've been planning for buying a new processor... but is the the performance of i5 is far superior than i3? if not then please message me here.. thanks!!

  • Comment removed

  • @grimnight

    well yeah a i5 is in two versions quad core and dual core version with hypertreading

    so a real i5 quad core would be a better processor.

    but still for the latest games as assassins greed 2 or dirt 2 or whatever game you need a i3 core will do the job.

    you better check your money and decide what to buy.

    a i3 530 gets a score of 7 in windows 7 64 bit .

    7.9 is the highest availeble

    better spend your money on a grafics card

    and buy fast ddr3 mems with low latency

  • 0:10 he sees the PEDDO BEAR :D!! HAHAHA Linus your face :D

  • @AeroFix94 XD

  • @HeadouCompany hahaha :)

  • @AeroFix94 XD

  • If you're going to overclock an i3-530 you're totally out of your mind.

  • Giant homosexual?

  • Hey Linus can i game on the core i3 graphics? and is it better than the other nb gpu like ati hd4200, intel x4500?

  • @2ManyShotz

    You won't want to do much serious gaming on it.

    Looks like MW2 can be playable though.

  • Ok a littl help...... i usually run sony vegas 9.0 and adobe after effects along with my internet browser all at the same time. Should i go with this? the i5? or do you think i should look at something entirley different? Plz help...im a bit of a noob wen it comes to this stuff.

  • Excellent :)

  • gay

  • The stock cooler sucks! My cpu is 80.90 celsius

  • so it only have 2 cores ?

  • @BlunKKK56

    Bingo, Core i3s are mainstream dual cores.

    

  • i got a dual core which is better than this and much cheaper than this. An AMD Phenom II X2 555 BE is more worthy than this!! and it runs 3.20ghz

  • @96Source The 555BE is not near better than this. While the 555BE has 2 cores and 2 threads, the i3 has 2 cores and 4 threads. It is also 32nm and can easily OC to 4.2GHz, while to get any AMD CPU's to a 25% OC you need ridiculous cooling. AMD is fine for budget builders but it generally Intel wins performance easily.

  • @ViZioNzXx well thanks for ur information im having it now unlocked 4 cores 4 threads,OC to 3.79ghz it runs stable at 40-41c im cooling it with my Zalman CNPS9900NT at full speed . 

  • @ViZioNzXx yes but the 550 is like £20 cheaper and the motherboards for it are really cheap aswell :)

  • @LFCforEver12341 like i said, amd is good for people on a strict budget.

  • Please make a OC T utorial !!!

  • plz tell me will it be good to built a pc with Evga H55V mbord + an i3 530 + 2gb ddr3 ram and a 460 watts of pwr supply.i want to know how a system built wid these spec, will perform in games at 1024*786*32 resoulation.

  • @Mscorpion001

    Toss in a $99 5670 512 MB and you're probably set.

    Quite a few games do recommend 3 GBs of RAM though. But hey might be good.

  • I wounders a core i20 explore core i3, Linus is efficient till 2033

  • What's the difference between the IGP of Clarkdale and Arrandale ?

  • does the 530 include hyper threading like the 540?

  • @LazyMax05 yes. the only difference between them is that the 540 is 133mhz faster and has a barely higher multiplier for overclockers (i think its 14.5 and the 530 is 12). the i3 530 overclocks very well though and the 133mhz is negligible. so the 530 is great!

  • So when i got i3 530 + p7HH55-M mobo i can use onboard gfx as a boost to my external gfx? Or i can use of 2? :)

  • is overclocking really necessary for this model. and would u overclock this model

  • btw this is the first time ive built a cmputer (im a bit of a noob)

  • @Gahman900 i realize you posted this comment a long time ago, but overclocking this model isnt really necessary for gaming. if you need to overclock it though it overclocks EXTREMELY well with a semi good aftermarket cooler

  • great!

  • my stock AMD heatsink on my 5000+ is like 3 times as thick XD

  • Comment removed

  • I love technology.

  • WHOA! Core i3 produces less heat compared to core 2 duo P series??

  • Latest tech whoo!

  • I have it with 6GB Ram + ati radeon hd 4350 (fuck my gfx lmao)

  • u r good

  • could you work this without a gpu on the h55m mobos for budget pcs ?

  • its a very good cpu.

  • i3 = core2 duo?

  • they have hyper threading so their better

  • i though that 1336 socket only had hyper threading.

  • all the i series has hyper threading

  • @psp785 not the i5 =)

  • lol ur right they have it some crap called hd boost

  • @xmegarockx its faster than core 2 duo its is also faster the e6600 core2duo

  • серьга в правом ухе....

  • are the i3 budget cpu's? I would still recommend getting the i5's and the i7 920 is still a great price

  • yea there more Budget and mainstream proc, like celeron for Rent a center or something lower end, this would follow under that

  • is this processor eco friendly?

  • @marcusnns

    What do you mean by eco friendly?

    If you mean power consumption, this is a very power efficient processor.

  • 2:05 I'm going pause it can see and count all 1156 of them

  • just bought this cpu from ncix for a build im going to be doing. not using onboard GPU tho

  • pull your head out his ass

    :)

  • how much is this cpu

  • this is short unboxing brother atleast give some details

  • linus unboxing 24/7 :D

  • This guy is a machine :D doesn't even stop working lols

  • lolz, maybe he made all the unboxing videos one after another, and got a ton of them on hos computer and uploading them whenever he feels like it :P

  • NO shut up, if he wants us to have a good time let hiM! keep up the videos!!!

  • guy take a break it's sunday ffs lol

  • lOl he does work alot! :)

    I wouldnt mind unboxing and reviewing one of those 5970 for NCIX ... kekekke 8 )

  • then dont watch his videos on sunday he could make video if he wants dont watch then your complaning

  • f.u.

  • wow, your unboxings are amazing =)

  • @Hoobes1 Yes he's great/got a natural knack of waffling on :) but I wish @LinusTechTips would do 'usage' videos.

    There's so much mileage you can get out of unboxing

    There's just

  • Agree! seeing the unboxed things in use is important to me. Like the memory fan. I really wanted to hear how loud/quiet it was.

  • omg linus arent you tired

  • Linus does not sleep, he runs 24/7. 12hrs work/ 12hrs idle.

  • @ irontank: lol he's like the xtreme gamer's pc, 12hours load/12 hours idle!

  • hehe, he needs liquid cooling [ a cold water bath] if not he gets overheated [fever] hahah! :P

  • @TheIronTank lol :D

  • @TheIronTank hahaha lol well said

  • Excellent reference to the new NCIXcom video. That made me lol.

  • It is a good CPU?

  • @LinusTechTips do you buy all these stuff only to make a unboxing? or?

  • awesome!
