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 5 years ago by peter.
- 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.

Questionwill this cpu be compatible with a Gigabyte GA-H110-D3A Motherboard? cant find the socket type on motherboard please help thanks!
Asked 5 years ago by KEIFFY.
- 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.

QuestionHow much FPS will it run
Asked 4 years ago by Hart.
- 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.

QuestionHello, Even though this processor is locked does it have a limited overclocking ability?
Asked 5 years ago by YoYoYo.
- 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.
