SKU CH-ER7R-84GG7

Dual-core 3.7 GHz Haswell desktop processor with 3 MB L3 cache, Intel HD Graphics 4400 and a 54 W TDP for LGA 1150 sockets

  • Dual-core 3.7 GHz handles everyday workloads
  • 54 W TDP keeps system power draw low
  • Intel HD Graphics 4400 drives displays without a discrete card
  • 3 MB L3 cache speeds repeated data access
  • LGA 1150 socket fits compatible motherboards

Boxed LGA 1150 dual-core processor

The Intel Core i3-4170 is a boxed desktop processor built on the 22 nm Haswell microarchitecture. It runs at a fixed 3.7 GHz with two cores and 3 MB of shared L3 cache. The 54 W thermal design power keeps cooling requirements modest. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 4400 handles display output without a separate card. The BX80646I34170 package includes the stock cooler.

Suitable for basic desktop upgrades

This processor fits existing LGA 1150 motherboards that support 4th generation Core i3 CPUs. It serves office work, web browsing and media playback where multi-threaded performance is not critical. Builders who need more than two threads, higher clock speeds or a newer socket should consider a different platform. Overclocking is not supported on this model.

The LGA 1150 socket decides compatibility

The single specification that determines whether this is the right part is the LGA 1150 socket. Only motherboards with that exact socket and a compatible chipset can accept the Core i3-4170. If the board uses any other socket, the processor will not fit and the system will not function.

Questions about this item

Which motherboard socket does the LGA 1150 processor need?

The CPU fits only LGA 1150 sockets, so the motherboard must provide that socket type.

Will the integrated Intel HD Graphics 4400 drive a display if I keep an older discrete graphics card installed?

Most motherboards disable the integrated graphics when a discrete card is detected; remove the add-in card or change the BIOS setting to use the HD 4400 output.

How can I confirm the dual-core chip is running at its rated 3.7 GHz after installation?

Open Task Manager or a hardware monitor and verify the clock speed shows 3.7 GHz under load.
