Intel® Core™ i7-10700F Desktop Processor 8 Cores up to 4.8 GHz Without Processor Graphics LGA1200 (Intel® 400 Series chipset) 65W

I simply upgraded from the i3 10100, and I thought I wouldn't see much of an upgrade, as typically cores don't matter to much when it comes to gaming. But Gosh dang my computer feels at least 150% faster overall when it comes to basic tasks. It was a simple installation of swapping the old CPU with the new one and instantly seeing the difference. Being a 65w chip, means it is very easy to cool. This CPU does a great job of supporting my graphics card. My old CPU was getting an occasional freeze or studder on modern games. Where the game I was playing would freeze for multiple seconds and then eventually recover... But now not only is it gone, but I have seen a 20FPS on average uplift which took me from 70-80 FPS to 90-100FPS in the more demanding titles. I wouldn't pay the new price ATM, I would buy it used. As $300+ is stupid for a CPU that is 6 years old, but it kinda is a hard tell for the current stagnation of PC building right now with AI taking up all the DDR5. I bought this processor for $133 used, and I think for that price it is worth it.

Normally, you wouldn’t get a big boost from a processor upgrade, but I went from an I-5 10400 with 64 gigs of vengeance corsair ram and a Zortech 12 gig GeForce RTX and I put this processor in and let me tell you it is a tremendous upgrade when you set it up right and set up your system right I love it even though it was used absolute mint condition. Thank you very much.

Performs just about how I wanted it too runs everything I need it to, and it was a great price!

I was a little worried after I placed the order then read the reviews but I received my package EARLY and it works perfectly.! I am so happy with my purchase.!

Llego bien !!

There is nothing wrong with this processor. Depending on the motherboard you choose you will see a difference in performance. I choose the AsRock W480 Creator. Anandtech.com has a great article on this processor. Also Steve at Gamers Nexus has great information on the behavior of the 10700k with different motherboards. With my board I have seen the power draw go to 183 watts at 4.6mhz during cinebench r23 for around 50 seconds, then the processor's power draw drops to 95 watts and it slows to 3.6 mhz. When I actually encode a video it uses 82 watts at 4.6mhz. So it depends on what you are doing. I use a Noctua NH U 9s cooler with dual fans. Temps average 68 c at the highest. Browsing the internet or using Microsoft Word it idles at 29c and 30 watts. Not much a game player these days but it will use around 40 watts and temps are around 60c. I like it and would not hesitate to purchase another if needed.

Worked as it should. If needed i would order another.

No on board gpu means a tad harder to build with. But that means more back end speed. Only 10th gen, if you can go 11. But price is good. Will likely buy again for low high end builds. Only draw back no pcie 4, as it's 10th gen.
