Q: Hello - is this processor still powerful enough to run all the games super smoothly? I want to get the K series but is it really much of performance difference ( will i notice it in gaming assuming i have a 2080 RTX) i dont care about overclocking

A: With 8 cores and 16 threads and with a boost clock of 4.8GHz, this CPU plays games smoothly at 4K and 1440p ,assuming you have an adequate GPU. Overclocking with the K version of this CPU can be beneficial in certain circumstances such as video editing and other CPU intensive programs, but not so much with pure gaming. The Non-K version will play games just fine.

Q: Does this CPU come with a cooler/fan?

A: Hi TalonG, yes the Intel Core i7-10700 processor comes with heatsink / fan combo with thermal paste pre applied. Thank you for choosing Intel.

Q: will this cpu be compatible with a Gigabyte GA-H110-D3A Motherboard? cant find the socket type on motherboard please help thanks!
