max stable base clock reported around the forums is 105 MhzOriginally Posted by pre
I m not sure how but i read it somewhere in a forum that i3 2100 can be overclocked a little..around 150Mhz only
hence max overclock is (105-100)x31=155 Mhz
to change base clock you will be needing a good mobo.
pairing a i3 2100 with a p67/z68 board is almost pointless.
and lastly 155 Mhz overclock over stock clocks......rather have the processor run at stock settings
Well im not a overclocker as i dont own a unlocked processor..I said what i got in the forums by googling..and u say 150Mhz a overclock and still u not sure....

I meantioned that because he wanna buy a 1st gen processor and overclock it to beat a 2nd gen one thats y..One of my frnd is also using i3 2100 and playing games without lag..its a good processor within his budget..bt i dint get his point of buying a 1st gen processor and den overclocking...
I3 2100 with h61.It will be the Best.
but can i use 1600 bus ram in h61 board?

so far i have decided to buy core i3 2100 with asus p8h61 mlx.can anyone tell me the exact price of this combo?
ami i3-530 te 1600mhz aar ram use korchi..... i3-2100 ae tho korar kotha......
usually h61 boards support ddr3 ram with bus speeds upto 1066/1333 Mhz

the processor can work with much higher clocked ram but the h61 chipset (or the motherboard with h61 chipset) cannot. It is limited up to ram rated at 1333 Mhz
unless you OC your i3 540(the base clock atleast at 160 mhz and NB/IMC atleast (160X15)2400mhz, your ram should run at 1333mhz.

Ohh! my bad... I forgot about the board...... but what is NB/IMC......
and if a i3 2100 runs with Z68 mobo can its run 1600mhz RAM?????
NorthBridge(aka memory controller hub or MCH) & Integrated memory controller(for nehlam/SB). the default NB frequency for nehlam i3 is probably 2128mhz iirc(133*16x). it will automatically rise up to 2560 mhz(160*16x) if you set the base clock at 160 mhz....
EDIT: i3 2100's integrated memory controller is also locked for 533/667 mhz. so it won't be able to support anything more than 1333mhz (i was a bit wrong in my previous post)

so the jest is i can't run 1600mhz ram in h61 board.is that??

this board with i3 2100 will be better buy or

this board with i3 540 overclocked?
actually i3 te 1333mhz aar upore Ram dorkar pore na.... ami age Team aar 2GB 1333mhz aar ram use kortam..... but amar tokon 4GB kinar vut chilo..
jodi ami 4GB 1600mhz aar ram na kine Team aar arekta 2GB 1333mhz aar ram kintam thahole dual channel full hoto and single channel 1600mhz thake dual channel 2 GB kore 1333Mhz usse kora onek valo...
ami 2GBx2 1333mhz ar ram dual channel ae test kore deksilam.... 1333mhz dual channel ROCKZ.... so akta 4GB 1600mhz thake duita 2GB 1333mhz use kora onek valo... and jehetu i3 nicchen 2X2GB @1333Mhz dual channel more then enough......

vaiya already amar kase adata xpg gaming series 2x2=4gb 1600g ase.so aita chinta kre processor ta kinte chachilam.actually i3 te 1333mhz aar upore Ram dorkar pore na.... ami age Team aar 2GB 1333mhz aar ram use kortam..... but amar tokon 4GB kinar vut chilo..

It will run on 1333mhz jodi aita 1600mhz Xmp ram hoi tha hole..... jemon amar ram auto 1333mhz support kore but 1600 chaile manually xmp open kore 1600mhz ae nite hoi.... but G.skill sniper aar moton hole oi ram gulo auto 1600mhz support kore.... ai rokom hole cholbe naki i have doubt........
vaiya,if i overclock i3 530/540 to 4ghz and use a 1600mhz ram may be i'll overclock it to 1800mhz then there is every chance to get better performance than i3 2100 with 1333bus.i don't have enough knowledge but i am thinking it myself...
That is a very wrong idea.I3 540 is a good processor but dont make the mistake of comparing it with 2n gen 2100.Actually there is no copetition.2100 is way ahed of any first gen i3.Don't measure a processor with there base clock speed.What matters most in pro buying is its architechture and performance per core ratio.Where 2nd gen i3 is way ahed.And u can definately use that ram with h61 which will run in 1333 mhz which is not a small frequency by any means.
i3 has 2 cores where x4 got 4 cores... so decide wisely.
is i3 2130 avaibalbe in bd market?
core i3 2100 with a h61 mobo, best buy within your budget.and dont buy an inferior processor for using 1600 mhz ram.its a difference with 1333 mhz u cant even realize.so dont waste your money buying a first gen processor.and i think you are upgrading for gaming.i3 2100 is tested for the gaming and has better gaming performance check this http://www.anandtech.com/show/4083/t...2100-tested/20.and decide.
