Gaming Chip. 4790k to this.

Gaming Chip. 4790k to this.
Yeah I know, Ryzens are cheaper, and out perform the Intel chips in everything... except clocks. As a gamer, I want the highest single core speed possible, 16 threads instead of 32? Whatever, I don't need that many for my uses, lol.I don't upgrade often, and until now I was still running my trusty 4790k, which still can hold it's own pretty well, but now with the 10700k, the 1080 isn't bottlenecked by my CPU any more, and it's VERY noticeable in certain games I normally saw slight issues.Should you upgrade 9th gen, or even 8th gen to 10th gen? Honestly, probably not. But if you're say, a few of more generations behind now, it's a worthy upgrade. Yes it's an upgraded 9900k, but that's still really good for ~$400!(pic included just because I find it hilarious how absurdly big the Noctua D15 cooler is)1 MONTH UPDATE:So yeah it's just shy of a month using it and it's been a beast. I haven't messed with clocks at all since the built in boosts do the job fine, especially paired with the D15 keeping it nice and cool. Haven't gone above 60c in full load yet.8 MONTH UPDATE:Still going strong! Was able to snag a 3080 from MicroCenter in September, so my build is now complete, and the 3080/10700k combo is beasting through anything I put in front of it.PC Build:CPU: i7-10700kCPUC: Noctua NH-D15 ChromaxMOBO: MSI Z490-A PRORAM: 32GB (4x8GB) HyperX Fury DDR4 3200GPU: EVGA RTX 3080 XC3 UltraPSU: Seasonic Focus Plus Gold 750wDRIVES: 250GB Samsung 970 EVO Plus M.2, 1TB Seagate SSHD, 2TB Samsung 860 Evo SSD, 4TB WD Black HDD

Daniel C
5.0 out of 5 stars Cool temps and superb performance.
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2020
Style: Processor OnlyVerified Purchase
Don’t let the 125w TDP fool ya because this chip runs WAY cooler than previous gens. Tested temps using OCCT stress test for about 3 hours, alongside my Noctua NH-D15 cooler. The highest I’ve seen the temp spike up to was 71c. Note that OCCT is a heavy synthetic test that pushes the CPU to the limit. Regular gaming temps will never reach that high. I’ve had the chip for almost two months now and accumulated quite a bit of gaming hours during that time. The games I played included a mix of intensive AAA titles like CoD Warzone and AC: Odyssey to light eSport ones such as Rocket League and Rainbow Six Siege. Highest temps are always in the 50s to mid 60s range. That is a huge difference compared to my old i5 6600k that spiked to over 80c at times! My brother who bought a 9900k last year was also amazed by how much cooler 10th gen runs and even said that he wished he waited a bit longer before upgrading. Note that both the 9900k and 6600k have lower TDPs than the 10700k yet still run warmer. The reason as to why 10th gen runs cooler is because intel made modifications to the IHS of the cpu and upgraded their Thermal Interface Material. Other then the improvement in the temperature department, I’ve also noticed a big difference in gaming performance. Despite having a 2080 super, my PC used to struggle to reach and stay at a consistent 100+fps at 1080p. CPU intensive games like AC Odyssey often dropped to like 50fps. This is a clear indication that there was bottleneck on the CPU side. With this new 10700k, My PC now has no problems reaching and maintaining that sweet consistent 144+ FPS on light competitive eSport titles and 100+FPS on demanding CPU intensive AAA titles. Also, note that I am running the CPU at stock settings right out the box and have not messed with overclocking yet. Nonetheless, I am very satisfied with this CPU and I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The FPS Gaming/Streaming King
Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2020

I waited too long to switch back to the FPS king. This chip is amazing. I missed you Intel.

The PC world is weird. Always chasing $50 savings. Too many games have CPU bottlenecks. I debated hard between just buying a 3700x to replace my 2700x versus the hard MB/CPU upgrade to Intel. But AMD had left me frustrated. My 2700x was never maxed out and I couldn’t tell what was bottleknecking me. The 3700x didn’t promise much higher clock speeds so I wasn’t sure if an upgrade would help. I play Rust on 1440p and my GPU and CPU would sit at 60% utilization or less with frames only around 70fps. First test with the 10700k stock and I’m at 135fps, max graphic settings. My GPU is now pumping out 99% utilization and the game feels amazing.

This chip runs cool on stock. Idk where all the bad thermal predictions came from, but it didn’t happen. Haven’t even OC’d it yet and honestly I may not need to until I upgrade off of my 2080super. But that’s not happening any time soon. I’m hitting 144fps on 1440p max settings now in every FPS game and that was the goal.

Thank you Intel, you nailed this one. The 9th gen had some cost/heat issues and that made me give AMD a try and I’m glad to be back!

For anyone choosing a card. The 10700k is the sweet spot for gaming and streaming. If you only game, I think the 10600k is a cheaper but same performance. I don’t see any need for the 10900k.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Valued Intel CPUs

In the my opinion the 10700k CPU is a great high end CPU from the Intel lineup when bought at the discounted price. They offer decent performance, they are unlocked for overclocking and they still maintain the iGPU for times when you might need it.

I have bought many Intel CPUs in my time and I really like the 10700k due to it's value for money factor.

It's not really worth going for the 11th Gen at the moment while there aren't much performance difference between them. If you want to wait a bit longer, then wait until 12th gen gets released and compare pricing/performance again. If you need a CPU right now, get it from AMAZON at the right price and you'll be sorted.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gaming Chip. 4790k to this.

Yeah I know, Ryzens are cheaper, and out perform the Intel chips in everything... except clocks. As a gamer, I want the highest single core speed possible, 16 threads instead of 32? Whatever, I don't need that many for my uses, lol.

I don't upgrade often, and until now I was still running my trusty 4790k, which still can hold it's own pretty well, but now with the 10700k, the 1080 isn't bottlenecked by my CPU any more, and it's VERY noticeable in certain games I normally saw slight issues.

Should you upgrade 9th gen, or even 8th gen to 10th gen? Honestly, probably not. But if you're say, a few of more generations behind now, it's a worthy upgrade. Yes it's an upgraded 9900k, but that's still really good for ~$400!

(pic included just because I find it hilarious how absurdly big the Noctua D15 cooler is)

1 MONTH UPDATE:

So yeah it's just shy of a month using it and it's been a beast. I haven't messed with clocks at all since the built in boosts do the job fine, especially paired with the D15 keeping it nice and cool. Haven't gone above 60c in full load yet.

8 MONTH UPDATE:

Still going strong! Was able to snag a 3080 from MicroCenter in September, so my build is now complete, and the 3080/10700k combo is beasting through anything I put in front of it.

Works great, the original one I got from Amazon died on me within 2 weeks it was essentially dead on arrival. This rarely happens but from time to time this can happen.

I contacted Intel and asked for a replacement and they agreed as it was under warranty obviously. While I had to pay like $10 to ship it to them which I originally thought was sorta cheap since other companies like MSI cover the shipping costs I can see why Intel doesn't.

While I only paid $10 for shipping I assumed it would be ground shipping from Canada to the middle of the USA and figured I'd be without a CPU for up to 2-weeks.

Turns out Intel ships via Air and my package was on a Plane and arrived at the facility within 8 hours and I had a new CPU in my computer within 72 hours.

I would highly recommend this product even after my issues because Intel was as fast as possible with replacing mine.

After using this product for a few months it's worked great and performs perfectly and I've had no issues since getting the original replaced.
