Fantastic Processor
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.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)

Good NON-overclockable CPU
|Posted .Owned for 2 months when reviewed.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!

Great CPU addition in Intel line.
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Runs great on my new build. Highly recommend replacing the intel CPU cooler with a 3rd party cooler. The one that comes with this CPU keeps the CPU at 40c while idle. Replaced that with a Noctua NH-D9L. And my idle temps are 30c or below. Just an FYI any CPU cooler that is made for CPU socket 1150 fits the new socket 1200 out of the box. Hope this helps.

Best value (when on sale).
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Does anyone else feel like their in the Twilight Zone referring to Intel as the value option? Anyways, if you can get this on sale ($250-275) it is a considerably better deal than Ryzen for a few reasons (and with a few caveats). 1) I got mine at $250. The 5800x is $420-450, so you can literally get this AND a decent B560 board for the price of just a 5800x. 2) Intel is less picky on Ram. I went 3600/CL18, but anything above DDR4 3000 will give you good performance. 3) Nearly all B460/560 and Z490/Z590 boards allow the removal of power limits, and B560/Z490/Z590 allow memory overclocking. This gives you nearly 10700k performance. 4) Temperatures are less spikey than AMD, probably due to the much larger die/nm size spreading the heat out more. 5) Very close to 5000 series on gaming, straight up better than 3000 series. 6) Lots of headroom, CPU utilization is crazy low in many games. I was updating Flight Sim, running HWinfo, updating Steam library, and playing WoW at the same time and I was just under 20% CPU utilization. Caveats 1) Stock cooler is simply insufficient with power limits raised. You can get a cheap Ares or Vetroo V5 cooler for like $20-25 that will keep this in check. 2) Playing with power limits is a bit above beginner level, but if you're building a PC it should definitely be within your wheelhouse. Google will guide you to the proper resources. That's it. The pros vastly outweigh the small caveats for me. I never use stock coolers anyways (other than Wraith Prism which is decent) so that was a cost coming either platform.

Strong performer
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.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

Pretty excellent
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.I needed something quick and dirty to replace my lightning destroyed Threadripper / Mobo, and Best Buy had the Core i7 10700k in stock. Even though I am a post-Ryzen AMD Fanboy, I have to admit I like the Intel Build. Paired with an nVidia RTX, this is a heck of a gaming beast. From a software development perspective, running Docker containers and Mobile emulators simply works better. Hyper-V does what it is supposed to and is solid. I found the stock fan to be adequate, but a tad noisy. The CPU is much easier to mount than the AMD.

Amazing
|Posted .I bought the i7 10700 along with the mail -A Pro mobo. What an upgrade! My previous setup was a ryzen 2700x and x370 crosshair 6 mobo. I wasn't expecting such a difference in performance but wow. I don't think I will ever go back to AMD. Even the install was easier and simpler. With Intel it just works.

Q: QuestionHello - 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
Asked by peter.
- A:Answer 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: Questionwill this cpu be compatible with a Gigabyte GA-H110-D3A Motherboard? cant find the socket type on motherboard please help thanks!
Asked by KEIFFY.
- A:Answer Hello Keiffy75, the Intel Core i7-10700 requires a motherboard with a LGA 1200 sockets and 400 series chipset. The Gigabyte GA-H110-D3A has a LGA 1151 socket with 100 series chipset so it is not compatible. Best Buy does carry compatible motherboards which can check out here https://www.bestbuy.com/site/computer-cards-components/motherboards/abcat0507008.c?id=abcat0507008&qp=processorsocketsv_facet%3DProcessor%20Socket~Socket%20LGA%201200 Thank you for choosing Intel.

Q: QuestionHow much FPS will it run
Asked by Hart.
- A:Answer Depends on your setup, if you have anything less than a very top tier gpu you aren’t going to be cpu bound. Check out YouTube, for the lower cost of this chip it’s worth it.
