Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Intel Core i3-8100T compatible with my LGA 1151 motherboard?
A: The i3-8100T is compatible with Intel 300-Series LGA 1151 motherboards (such as B360, H370, Z370, and Z390 chipsets). It is NOT compatible with 100/200-Series boards (e.g. Z170, Z270) due to chipset differences, even though the socket shape is the same. Always verify compatibility with your specific motherboard model before purchasing.
Q: Does this CPU come with a cooler included?
A: No, the Intel Core i3-8100T is sold as a processor only (OEM/Tray unit). No cooling solution is included. You will need to purchase a compatible LGA 1151 CPU cooler separately to operate the processor.
Q: What does "used — double-tested before shipping" mean?
A: This is a pre-owned/refurbished CPU. It may show minor cosmetic wear such as light surface scratches on the heat spreader. Before shipment, each unit undergoes functional testing to confirm it boots, is recognized by the system, and performs correctly at rated specifications. You receive a fully functional processor at a significantly reduced price compared to new retail.
Q: Does the i3-8100T have integrated graphics?
A: Yes. The Intel Core i3-8100T includes Intel UHD Graphics 630, which supports display output directly through a compatible motherboard video port. This makes it suitable for builds that do not require a dedicated graphics card for everyday productivity, video playback, and light tasks.
