Good NON-overclockable CPU
|Posted .Owned for 2 months when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value3 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:For gamesGood 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.Features
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.

I7-10700 for Gaming
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Good starter CPU for gaming with an SSD drive to increase load time and performance. The retail box comes with the Intel Cooling Heat sink and Fan for the extra savings over the K versions which require. I would recommend the Intel CPU's and have purchased many for builds.

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.

Amazing
|Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I 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.

Great CPU, terrible cooler.
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value3 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5Very good CPU overall and will handle any and everything you throw at it, my only gripe(and is the reason I'm not giving it 5 stars) is that the cooler it comes with is TERRIBLE which makes sense considering it comes with it but AMD has a better CPU and have higher quality coolers. My CPU fan was so loud playing games that utilized less than %40 of the CPU made it sound like a jet, if you buy any intel cpu (besides an i3 or lower) get your own cooler. The intel coolers are terrible I personally picked up a cooler master hyper 212 black RGB air cooler that works great and is very quiet.

Good CPU
|Posted .Owned for 3 months when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value3 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5For my purposes, this CPU does a great job. I have it paired with an RTX 3080 and have no complaints regarding the performance in gaming. If I were to do it over again, I would probably go with the 10700K which you can overclock, but since I am not really much into overclocking, it does not make that much of a difference to me.

What experts are saying
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.
