Good processor that runs cool with my Corsair H80i v2 cooler. Wasn't interested in overclocking so I picked up the base 10700 rather than the 10700K. If you are looking to overclock, buy the 10700K, as that CPU is unlocked whilst this one is locked. Plays games without a sweat and rarely goes above 50% CPU usage while playing demanding games at 1440p ultra. Pair this with a good GPU and enough RAM and you've got a monster gaming rig!

Very solid processor. Quick, responsive and easy to install. With proper cooling and proper bios selection, this processor can maintain its 4.6GHz all core boost consistently(will have a much higher power usage)

So far it's been good to go! I made a super mini computer so no room for an external GPU. The integrated graphics have been super great displaying a really good gaming experience on my LG OLED tv

I thought this would have been a great upgrade but it was decent P.s I upgraded from an i3 P.p.s a couple of pins were messed up and I had got them fixed for 200 I could have traded but !

I mainly got this CPU for gaming and paired it with my MSI Z590 Pro WiFi board and it’s amazing. Note that this i7 max power draw is around 200 watts and not 65 as stated on intels ark website, so you do need a board with decent to good power delivery which is why I didn’t op for a B or H boards so I could remove limits to turbo boost maxing out performance for this CPU. Previously I had an i7-3770, while it is an old CPU it was still good, but I recently just got into COD MW and at this point it started to show its age so I decided to upgrade my platform. At first I was going for an R5 3600, but today a demand for them is pretty high hence the price which is why I couldn’t get one, they use to be around 200 dollars but now cost around 300. The downside of LGA 1200 platforms is their motherboard and usually a really good one would cost more than the cpu Itself compared to AM4 platforms. The i7-10700 runs hot as well if power limits were removed so using the cooling solution that comes with the CPU won’t be ideal, unless you don’t need it’s max performance. In my case the i7 on my z590 board I’ve seen on max was around 130 watts and while having a 240 aio from CM it hovers around 60-70c, still good temps but kind of warm. Overall it’s a great CPU. Pros -Solid to great performance -Good price (was on sale when I got it) Cons -LGA 1200 boards can be pricey -Wont run at its full potential depending on the board -runs hot and power hungry
