Intel Pentium G3260T processor SR1KW
Used desktop low-power dual-core Intel Pentium G3260T processor (Socket LGA1150, 2.90 GHz, 3MB cache, 35W TDP). Ideal choice for silent, energy-efficient PCs or NAS.




Intel Pentium G3260T Desktop Processor (Socket LGA1150) – Energy-Efficient 35W Dual-Core for Silent Systems
Are you looking for an energy-efficient yet capable processor to build a home network-attached storage (NAS), a silent home theater PC (HTPC) for your TV, or do you need a reliable replacement part for a compact office desktop? The Intel Pentium G3260T desktop processor from the proven 4th generation (Haswell architecture) delivers a great balance between low power consumption, minimal thermal output, and steady computing performance.
The primary advantage of this "T" series model is its strictly limited thermal design power of only 35W TDP. The processor generates very little waste heat, allowing it to run on compact, ultra-quiet cooling setups. This makes it an ideal choice for small form factor (SFF) and Mini-ITX cases where airflow space is premium and quiet operation is essential.
Key Features of the Intel Pentium G3260T Processor
- 2 physical cores running at a high base clock speed of 2.90 GHz for snappy responsiveness.
- Extremely low power draw and minimal heat output with a 35W TDP rating.
- 3 MB Intel Smart Cache for fast data processing.
- Integrated Intel HD Graphics engine with hardware video acceleration.
- Time-tested 22nm Haswell architecture engineered for long-term operational reliability.
- Support for low-voltage and standard desktop memory DDR3 / DDR3L (up to 1600 MHz).
- Designed for the widely adopted desktop Socket LGA1150.
Perfect for 24/7 Operations (NAS, HTPC, SFF)
Due to its high energy efficiency both under load and at idle, the Intel Pentium G3260T is an ideal candidate for continuously running machines. It serves exceptionally well as the heart of a home NAS server, network appliance, or media player. Paired with a fast SSD and adequate RAM, it provides instant OS boot times, smooth web browsing, document management, and HD video streaming.
Integrated Graphics Saves Component Costs
The processor includes an integrated Intel HD Graphics GPU. It easily handles daily office tasks, high-definition video playback, and smooth desktop UI rendering. This completely eliminates the need to purchase a standalone graphics card, saving component expenses while lowering total system power consumption.
Broad Desktop Compatibility
This desktop processor is designed for motherboards featuring the **LGA1150 socket** and Intel 8-series or 9-series chipsets (such as H81, B85, H87, Z87, H97, Z97). It serves as an excellent, budget-friendly service part for low-power pre-built desktops and custom Mini-ITX builds.
