H110 with 8 generation i3? Is this willing to pay you?

The H110, B150, H170, and Z170 have been cracked by the player for some time recently, making it possible to install the 8-generation Core i3 processor, but is it as you wish?

100 series motherboard + 8 generation CPU can use?

The current results show that the 100 series motherboards, including the H110, B150, H170, and Z170, can all use the i3 8100 processor. The Z170 can also be used with the i3 8350K overclocking, including games, applications, and so on. At present, 100/200 series motherboards can "crack" the basic reasons for using the 8 generation Core i3 processors in two ways: The first is the power supply capability. When the 100/200 series motherboards are launched, the highest is only 4 core processors. The design is the highest to support this end, but fortunately the 8th generation i3 processor is also a 4 core, so it is theoretically able to support the power supply needs. However, it can be seen that all of the cracked 8th generation Core 100/200 series motherboards do not have any 6 core processor products.

Pay attention to the difference between the two power supply, the above figure is the CPU power supply design of the 8 generation Core, the following figure is the CPU power supply design of the 6th and 7th generation Core.

The second reason is microcode recognition. Identifying the identity of the processor in the BIOS is a piece of microcode. The function is to identify the identity of the processor so that the motherboard can be correctly identified. At present, 100/200 series motherboards can use 8 generations of Core i3 processors, which is to modify the microcode of the processors in the BIOS. Theoretically, these microcodes also include 8 generations of Core processors and other products, which are limited to the previous power supply capability and cannot be loaded and started normally.

8+100 is perfect?

The 100-series motherboards using the 8-generation Core i3 are not perfect, and it is known that the PCI-E channel is still a problem - the full-size PCI-E ×16 closest to the CPU cannot run at full speed (except for a monster) Only the second PCI-E ×8 slot can be used to install the graphics card. Therefore, if you want to use this collocation program installed, the graphics card should not be too high-end, otherwise the bandwidth will be tight and the graphics performance will not be fully utilized.

Another point, Xiao Bian has not understood things so far, 8 generation Core CPU does not support DDR4 memory, but many H110 chipset motherboards that use DDR3 memory can even use! There is no answer to this point.

Is there potential for upgrading?

The current 8 generation Core i3 is 8100 and 8350K, the latter is not mentioned. If you want to upgrade, 100/200 series motherboards are unable to support 8 generations of Core i5 processors, can only be pushed back 7 generations Core Duo, the highest is 7700K this product, the potential is insufficient. If you only intend to use it, you can no longer replace it. From here you can also see that the 100 Series motherboard +8 generation Core i3 is the most cost-effective choice at this stage, at least than to buy a Z370 motherboard +8 generation Core i3 to a lot of cost. Only one or two months later, H310 and B360, the two true 8-generation Core motherboard platforms will be available. By that time, the so-called cost-effectiveness of the 100 series motherboards will disappear.
