Great CPU addition in Intel line.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Runs 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.

Great CPU

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5This is a great CPU with awesome performance. It goes through everything no problem. Works quickly in work and play. I have another PC with an i5-10400. Compared to that CPU, there isn't much of a difference. The i7 is a little faster. However, the i7 runs much warmer than the i5. I think the i7 will hold up better over time but I would consider the i5 if you are looking to save money.

Pretty excellent

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I 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.

Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I bought this processor to replace an i5 kaby lake. I have no reason to overclock so did not get the k version. Overall it's much faster than what I had and noticed that my old processor was a bottleneck for my gpu since frame rates improved.

What experts are saying
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: Questionis there much of a thermal benefit from this and the k model. I have the NZXT H1 case and wants the best thermals vs performance. I dont overclock so if the temps are much better than the k with minima performance difference i would rather go this route?
Asked by milesk182.
- A:Answer If you don't care about overclocking, there is absolutely no real world difference between this and the K series.
Answered by Isaac
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 The only reason to get a K series chip is to overclock. So if you don't care about that, there is no need. That said, several motherboards allow you to lift the power limits on non-K chips to boost performance, and that does help. If you have a 2080, and are playing at 1080p at a high refresh rate, you will notice a definite difference. If you play at 1440p, the difference is less, because you are not as CPU bound at the higher resolutions. The chip is worth the purchase if you want to future proof, and if you plan on doing work related stuff.
Answered by FredFlintstone
Q: QuestionHello, Even though this processor is locked does it have a limited overclocking ability?
Asked by YoYoYo.
- A:Answer Several motherboards (Asus for example) have the ability to lift the power limits on non-K chips, and with performance mode, it runs close to a stock 10700K chip. You just need to get a good CPU cooler to keep the temps down.
Answered by FredFlintstone
Q: QuestionWhich cpu fan is compatible with this processor?
Asked by justme.
- A:Answer The processor comes with a cooler in the box that should work just fine aslong as you dont stress the processor too long.
