Intel - Core i7-10700K 10th Generation 8-Core - 16-Thread - 3.8 GHz (5.1 GHz Turbo) Socket LGA1200 Unlocked Desktop Processor

This thing is a beast I got a rtx 3090 recently and was honestly disappointed after coming from a 9700k and 2080ti so I swapped this out with my asus x570 gaming E with a ryzen 3900xt and this thing performs way better I’m seeing a 40-50 FPS increase compared to the 3900xt so yeah Intel all the way oh and by the way I put this in an ASUS rog Maximus xii hero and I do not regret dropping $400 on a mother board I’m buying nothing but Intel and premium level motherboards from now on

Got it as my Christmas gift and it came in perfect condition (a few days late but that’s cause our fedex is trash). Ran right out of the box and have had no problems with it at all. I am able to run cyberpunk with no issues with a 2080 super. Would always recommend over the i5 or a ryzen.

I was enjoying using this CPU so much that I am now comfortable moving to spend the extra 2 cores for the $15o extra. Also helped to see that the next gen top end is supposed to be 8core/16threads or some new 8core/24thread processor. I just hope my Corsair H60 supports this without OC

Works fine with my evga 3070, I bought a Z490 motherboard on sale so I choose to buy this cpu instead of 5600x. If you looking for a gaming pc and cannot got a huge sale on z490 motherboard I think amd will be a better choice

So far this I7 is a sold rock. If you are building a computer this is the one to buy. Im one happy customer

Good cpu, but would recommend the 10700 because it is just that much cheaper and this one runs hot

I bought this on the Black Friday sale after I returned the i5-10600K. While the i5 wasn't a bad CPU, the tech reviewers I was watching had highly recommended going with an 8 core/16 thread chip instead of a 6 core/12 thread if their audience wanted better performance over 3-6 years, depending on what type of tasks are performed by the computer. I built mine for PC gaming and I have noticed everything has been running a bit snappier. I can't say that I notice any FPS differences really, but programs open a bit quicker and my CPU usage is a bit lower than it was with the i5. Likes: Easy installation; Great performance; overclocking; better performance than last years i9 CPU Dislikes: I can't think of any, it's great! Oh, by the way: This CPU does NOT come packaged with a CPU cooler, so you will need to plan to purchase that separately. I knew this going into it, but some may not. Also, make sure you get a good CPU paste for cooling and just apply a little bead size over the CPU.

I think I may have purchased this on my Dad’s account, not sure if my review will be verified or not. Either way, I’m coming from a Ryzen 5 3600 that was a great little performer for the cost, but just gave me problem, after problem, after problem. Also, no fun overclocking. Also ran pretty hot. This cpu has been smoooth sailing. And having tons of fun overclocking it. I’ve had it for 3 weeks now and have barely even played games, just pushing it to the limit having fun overclocking. Runs cooler than my 3600 did, even at 5.3 ghz all core. Not even kidding. 3600 did Prime 95 at 98C, this does it at 90C at 5.3Ghz, 86C at 5.0 ghz. Small FFT AVX2 load. I’ve never even had a BSOD or failure to boot while overclocking yet. The worst that has happened is some errors in Prime 95. Try that on a Zen 2 or 3 cpu! Those things won’t even boot if you barely tweak them at all. CPU-Z Single core score at 5.3 ghz (hyperthreading off) is 643, 5600XT territory, while I also happily mop the floor with the multicore score of the 3800XT on Cinebench R23. So the 5600X can’t really approach me :) Which is nice, considering I only even paid 320$ for it, right here from Best Buy. But the number one thing I would say is it is amazingly stable, and runs very cool, and very fast.
