Intel Core i7-10700K Desktop Processor 8 Cores up to 5.1 GHz Unlocked LGA1200 (Intel 400 Series Chipset) 125W (BX8070110700K)

Don’t let the 125w TDP fool ya because this chip runs WAY cooler than previous gens. Tested temps using OCCT stress test for about 3 hours, alongside my Noctua NH-D15 cooler. The highest I’ve seen the temp spike up to was 71c. Note that OCCT is a heavy synthetic test that pushes the CPU to the limit. Regular gaming temps will never reach that high. I’ve had the chip for almost two months now and accumulated quite a bit of gaming hours during that time. The games I played included a mix of intensive AAA titles like CoD Warzone and AC: Odyssey to light eSport ones such as Rocket League and Rainbow Six Siege. Highest temps are always in the 50s to mid 60s range. That is a huge difference compared to my old i5 6600k that spiked to over 80c at times! My brother who bought a 9900k last year was also amazed by how much cooler 10th gen runs and even said that he wished he waited a bit longer before upgrading. Note that both the 9900k and 6600k have lower TDPs than the 10700k yet still run warmer. The reason as to why 10th gen runs cooler is because intel made modifications to the IHS of the cpu and upgraded their Thermal Interface Material. Other then the improvement in the temperature department, I’ve also noticed a big difference in gaming performance. Despite having a 2080 super, my PC used to struggle to reach and stay at a consistent 100+fps at 1080p. CPU intensive games like AC Odyssey often dropped to like 50fps. This is a clear indication that there was bottleneck on the CPU side. With this new 10700k, My PC now has no problems reaching and maintaining that sweet consistent 144+ FPS on light competitive eSport titles and 100+FPS on demanding CPU intensive AAA titles. Also, note that I am running the CPU at stock settings right out the box and have not messed with overclocking yet. Nonetheless, I am very satisfied with this CPU and I highly recommend it.

I've had my 10700K for about a month now. I paired it with a brand new Asus Maximus XII Extreme and kept my 2080 ROG Strix. The three make a beautiful pairing. If you aren't planning on overclocking, I'll just say, pick this up and you won't regret it. If you aren't speed-chasing, it isn't worth the extra money of going to the 10900K. If you are overclocking, I personally believe the money-performance ratio puts the 10700K on top. But, speed-chasing would suggest picking up the 10900K. As expected, temps are a little hot when overclocking. I used XMP I, clocked to 5.1GHz and left voltage on adaptive. My mobo thinks it's a good idea to stick a whopping 1.545v into it to support 5.1GHz and hit over 100C (exact temp unknown, neither of my monitoring programs read hotter than 100C), but that's totally unnecessary. Dropping down to 1.46v, highest temp spike during stress test hit 90C, not a degree warmer (25min stress test using Cinebench, 360mm ROG AIO). My goal is to hit 5.2GHz this evening. If I have the ability to update reviews, I will post results. Overall, 10/10, strongly recommend. It's a good out-of-the-box processor, and it's fantastic for overclocking, at a price point that doesn't make you want to rip your legs off.

While a good idea anyway, with many processors now utilizing stock overclocks, you can benefit a performance boost by choosing a better CPU cooler. I went the cheap route, actually, I thought it was middle of the road since the Thermaltake Contac Silent 12 is rated for 150w. I thought I could get away with a $30 cooler since I am not planning on overclocking. That cooler could not even keep up with stock CPU settings. In benchmarks the CPU hit 80-Celsius in seconds and gradually up to 90 where I had it set to throttle. In more practical testing, under basic workloads the temps are more reasonable but the Contac Silent 12 has to ramp up to %100 fan speed frequently to keep that way and it is not quiet at that speed. I know somebody is going to say that's because the default settings on the motherboard are overclocking the CPU beyond Intel's recommended settings. Well, that was one of the first things I checked and that's not the case here. Despite what somebody on YouTube said or didn't say, not all motherboards do that. It is a great processor and complements my workload nicely (no games here). The new cooler is a Reeven Justice, $45 right now. I has the same size 120mm fan however it has six heat pipes instead of four and the tower is about %50 thicker and fins stacked closer together. Temps, while still pretty hot, have come down 8-10 degrees on Cinebench R-20. It still gets up to 80-82 Celsius but instead of hitting 80 right away as it did before, it takes until the render is almost complete and seems to level off there. I feel better about the temps now that It's not riding on the ceiling, especially since all core full load is not a typical workload for me. The fan is much quieter during typical use. I would recommend that cooler for those who are looking for a good compatible cooler.

Good, no heat problem. Good amount of fires and threads. Performance is amazing as long as you use it as a non integrated gpu. But it’s better than the F series do to having an integrated gpu so it’s very useful for testing.

I waited too long to switch back to the FPS king. This chip is amazing. I missed you Intel. The PC world is weird. Always chasing $50 savings. Too many games have CPU bottlenecks. I debated hard between just buying a 3700x to replace my 2700x versus the hard MB/CPU upgrade to Intel. But AMD had left me frustrated. My 2700x was never maxed out and I couldn’t tell what was bottleknecking me. The 3700x didn’t promise much higher clock speeds so I wasn’t sure if an upgrade would help. I play Rust on 1440p and my GPU and CPU would sit at 60% utilization or less with frames only around 70fps. First test with the 10700k stock and I’m at 135fps, max graphic settings. My GPU is now pumping out 99% utilization and the game feels amazing. This chip runs cool on stock. Idk where all the bad thermal predictions came from, but it didn’t happen. Haven’t even OC’d it yet and honestly I may not need to until I upgrade off of my 2080super. But that’s not happening any time soon. I’m hitting 144fps on 1440p max settings now in every FPS game and that was the goal. Thank you Intel, you nailed this one. The 9th gen had some cost/heat issues and that made me give AMD a try and I’m glad to be back! For anyone choosing a card. The 10700k is the sweet spot for gaming and streaming. If you only game, I think the 10600k is a cheaper but same performance. I don’t see any need for the 10900k.

Yeah I know, Ryzens are cheaper, and out perform the Intel chips in everything... except clocks. As a gamer, I want the highest single core speed possible, 16 threads instead of 32? Whatever, I don't need that many for my uses, lol. I don't upgrade often, and until now I was still running my trusty 4790k, which still can hold it's own pretty well, but now with the 10700k, the 1080 isn't bottlenecked by my CPU any more, and it's VERY noticeable in certain games I normally saw slight issues. Should you upgrade 9th gen, or even 8th gen to 10th gen? Honestly, probably not. But if you're say, a few of more generations behind now, it's a worthy upgrade. Yes it's an upgraded 9900k, but that's still really good for ~$400! (pic included just because I find it hilarious how absurdly big the Noctua D15 cooler is) 1 MONTH UPDATE: So yeah it's just shy of a month using it and it's been a beast. I haven't messed with clocks at all since the built in boosts do the job fine, especially paired with the D15 keeping it nice and cool. Haven't gone above 60c in full load yet. 8 MONTH UPDATE: Still going strong! Was able to snag a 3080 from MicroCenter in September, so my build is now complete, and the 3080/10700k combo is beasting through anything I put in front of it. PC Build: CPU: i7-10700k CPUC: Noctua NH-D15 Chromax MOBO: MSI Z490-A PRO RAM: 32GB (4x8GB) HyperX Fury DDR4 3200 GPU: EVGA RTX 3080 XC3 Ultra PSU: Seasonic Focus Plus Gold 750w DRIVES: 250GB Samsung 970 EVO Plus M.2, 1TB Seagate SSHD, 2TB Samsung 860 Evo SSD, 4TB WD Black HDD

It came in early and works just fine. Was worth the value as well and still have it in my PC after three years.

It feels pretty nice to double my core and thread counts with this CPU from the 6700k. I currently have mine overclocked at 5.2ghz with a push-pull radiator liquid aio system and I'm maxing in the 70s as far as temperature goes. Definitely adds some fps to call of duty and control. I haven't tried red dead or gta v yet, but since they're usually so CPU bottlenecked, I'm sure they'll run great with this. My config in case anyone wanted to know: CPU- 10700k Cooler - Corsair H105 MB- Gigabyte Aorus Z490 Graphics- RTX 2080 Super Ram - 4 x 4gb ddr4 2 Samsung 860s and 1 M.2 870 (I'd recommend picking up an M.2 if you go with gigabytes now motherboards.. theyre putting 2-4 slots on their MBs now so I feel like it's just untapped potential if you're not going to be using at least one of those slots) Power- EVGA 750w (80+ gold I think?) Case - I did have everything in an NZXT S340, but I just moved it all into that new Corsair mesh case that came out (TD500 Mesh) and airflow and aesthetics are superb.

I purchased this as an upgrade from my 1700x from a few years ago, I wanted more performance but didnt want to lose the core count i had previously. I'm getting anywhere from 20-30% performance increase in every task including gaming. I see a 4.7ghz boost often on all cores but never seen the advertised 5.1ghz on a single core yet. Regardless this is a great CPU and was worth the money for the performance boost over my previous platform.

ممتاز جدا

Ta dentro do monstrao

出来るだけ安く、出来るだけコスパ良いハイエンドCPUが欲しい。そんなわがままに答えてくれるのがこのCPU。最新モデルではないけれど、だからこそお手軽価格になっている。 DDR5の登場でintelは次の12世代で大きく変わると予想されるが、CPUもメモリも出始めは高いもの。ご祝儀価格で買うより価格が落ち着いてから買った方が良いと思うぜ。

Perfect for my 3070 build!
