Building an i3-8100 Computer (Step by Step) - Office PC
122Building an i3-8100 Computer (Step by Step) - Office PC. A Coffee Lake building process with Intel's 8th generation the i3-8100. This build is for the everyday tasks between office applications and some possible edification down the road.
I built this office computer for my workplace. Of course, this build is also ideal for the everyday office and home computer too. Can also render and edit photos and videos.
NOTES: I did use a new microphone this time around. Hopefully, my voice is a bit more audible, unlike my previous video which I had issues about the low volume voice. I had my moments when I sound tired.
* I had to redo a few clips but I did not realize that Intel's Heatsink Fan Connector was cut off from the original video clip. So I made due on what I had at the time, a photograph.
If you have any questions about the build, please don't hesitate to ask!
