Hi,
Wondering if anyone is running an i3-8100 on their Z370 board? 
It appears to be a decent budget option compared to an i5-8400 at twice the price. So, would anyone recommend it (running a GTX970 GPU btw)? PC only used for Fortnite (etc), Youtube, a bit of teenage homework and nothing else...
Thanks
Matt

    Thanks, wondering if anyone has actually tried it and can advise on performance?

    Being on the bottom of the list of supported I would not expect to much for it.
    Core™ i7 8700K 6 Cores + HT 3.70 GHz
    Core™ i7 8700 6 Cores + HT 3.20 GHz
    Core™ i5 8600K 6 Cores 3.60 GHz
    Core™ i5 8600 6 Cores 2.80 GHz
    Core™ i5 8400 6 Cores 2.80 GHz I would go no lower than this CPU on this Motherboard.
    Core™ i3 8350K 4 Cores 4.00 GHz
    Core™ i3 8100 4 Cores 3.60 GHz
    Here is a Compare of each of the Non-K version for this Motherboard.

    What Graphics Card do you plan to use?
    What are your plans for this Computer?

    Performance should be relative to the fact that it is only a 4 core CPU. 

    AMD Ryzen 9 7950X,  Corsair Mp700 Pro M.2, 64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5  X670E Steel Legend, MSI RTX 4090 Associate Code: H5U80QBH6BH0AXF. I am NOT an employee of EVGA
