Customer Ratings & Reviews

Picked up around Black Friday 2020, came well packaged and shipped by Best Buy. Finally built my PC January after scoring a GPU. Great price/performance, easier to get than a 5600x was, reliable, no frills, exactly what you're expecting when you order an Intel chip. I mostly game, very little content creation, some work, and this CPU does everything I ask with gusto, even before overclocking. I slapped an AIO water cooler with 3x 120mm fans on it, and it's honestly overkill lol. I stress tested it, it performed perfectly, and it never went over 60 degrees C. Time for overclocking!

This Intel - Core i7-10700K 10th Gen 8-Cor - 16-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor is fast. I am able to play all my games with no problems noted. Desktop Processor at a good price. No problems noted with Desktop Processor.

Definitely a good purchase. Runs nice and cool at max 47c while gaming idle around 30c paired with a Corsair aio. Haven’t had the need to overclock but I’m sure it’s nice.

I needed this in a hurry and I was pleased it was in stock for a good price. It is a good silicon sample with an SP/ASIC rating of 81. I run it at 5.2GHz on all cores with the memory at 4000 CL15.

Always pleased with Intel i7 and the 10th generation seems to be a great processor. Have put it in many of our clients' machines and they all have been extremely satisfied with the performance.

A very fast processor. I know it's not the newest version but it's close enough and gets through everything I do. I had to do an up grade as my 2013 I7 chip could not run with the May windows up date.

Works great in my upper mid tier build. Would recommend to anyone not trying to break the bank but still wants to build a powerful machine,

This runs perfectly everything I do on video editing and let my 14 yr old use and play online games on it. Very strong/fast and much cooler compare to my 4 months old i5-9600k, the upgrade is well worth every penny.

Easy to install and works great, was about to get i9 but after reviewing i chosen this one , don't really need i9 for gaming, this one does great work and made my pc way faster than i7 6700k I used to have

The i7-10700K is Intel's latest Core i7 offering, filling that niche in the new 10th gen "Comet Lake" series of desktop processors. It performs exceptionally well in gaming, which favors single-threaded performance and high frequency, both of which the 10700K offers in spades, while lagging behind AMD's 3900X and 3950X in productivity workloads due to those chips having 50% and 100% more cores + threads, respectively. Intel seems to have solved the glaring thermal issues that plagued the 8th and 9th gen CPUs by thinning out the IHS material, so the dies have closer contact with the cold plate on the cooling solution. On its own, the 10700K is a 5-star chip, but in the broader context of the other 10th-gen Intel processors, it loses a star because its position amidst the rest of the 10th gen lineup essentially serves no purpose, as I'll discuss. Why do I say this? Well, the i5-10600K can easily be OC'ed to exceed the stock frequencies that the 10700K brings to the table. This means you can get essentially equal gaming performance compared to a stock 10700K, from a chip that costs half as much, because the reduction in core count has basically zero impact on FPS. I'm not saying the 10700K clock speeds can't be tuned up as well, but I'm stressing that its intended place in the gaming performance hierarchy can be usurped by a chip that retails for less than 250 bucks. The 10600K is also a more OC'able CPU in its own right, and can be pushed harder relative to its base specs than the 10700K can relative to its own stock speeds. On the other side of the equation, the i9-10900K represents peak Comet Lake, offering the best performance for any type of workload that 10th gen has to offer, while only retailing for ~$100 more than the 10700K. The 10900K is the undisputed performance king of this generation, beating the 10700K soundly both in terms of gaming (both single-core and all-core turbo are significantly faster) and productivity (aforementioned frequency advantage + an additional 2 cores / 4 threads to play with). Does my criticism become slightly clearer in light of the role that the 10600K and the 10900K play? The 10700k is either a slightly better 10600K that costs ~100% more, or a much worse 10900K that costs only ~$100 less. The 10700K doesn't know what it wants to be, and the rest of 10th gen definitely does, which is why this chip is not the best purchase in the context of its generation.

Solid value for the price if you can get a good deal on a motherboard & other components. Handles everything I need no problem. Getting nice temps with air cooler.

Blazing fast and runs cool with 360 AIO. Let's be honest, you get better value from the other brand right now, but I wanted to finish my build this year and this was in stock and good enough.

I'm running at 34% overclock at 5.1 Ghz and it is stable and remains cool with a dual fan heat sink. As fast as you can get for the price.

This 10th generation i7-10700k is a top 3 gaming chip. In some reviews its number one! The $319.00 sale price by Bestbuy makes it absolutely the number one gaming cpu chip!

Got it for a very good deal and I’ve had intel always d this chip is just amazing, be ready to have a good aio to cool it down along with a nice case

Great CPU...easily overclocks to 5.0 Ghz on all cores. Just wish Best Buy wasn't a complete failure as a company and had better security measures to prevent the scalpers from buying all the RTX 3080's.

Fast and efficient CPU. I use this for gaming and although I don't overclock it keeps cool. I'm not sure I would need to overclock it because It's fast enough for my needs.

This processor is exactly what I needed to match my 1080ti to play esports titles at framerate cap at 1080p. Huge upgrade from my 4670k. Perfect cpu for high framerate gaming.

10th gen Intel i7 runs extremely good. I have had my computer built for about a month now and it runs great. CPU stays cool while I stream, surf the web, and game.

Have only used Ryzen cpu's in the past. The CPU worked perfect out of the box. I have been able to keep a stable OC on 5.2 ghz using a Noctua fan to cool it.
