Dual-core Sandy Bridge for LGA 1155
The Intel Core i3-2120T is a 32nm desktop processor with two cores running at 2.6 GHz and Hyper-Threading for four threads. Its 35W thermal design power suits compact or quiet systems that need basic 64-bit compute and integrated graphics.
Drop-in LGA 1155 installation with 35W cooler
The CPU seats in any LGA 1155 socket; the low 35W TDP means a standard boxed cooler or slim tower handles heat without high airflow. Apply fresh thermal paste, align the notches, and lock the lever — no extra brackets or firmware steps are required.
Verify board BIOS and 35W power budget
Confirm the motherboard BIOS supports Sandy Bridge CPUs; some early LGA 1155 boards need an update before the i3-2120T will post. Check that the VRM and system cooling are rated for at least 35W and that the chassis can dissipate the heat in your intended workload.
