    High-performance, durable processor

    The Intel Core i7-10700K (3.8 GHz / 5.1 GHz) is an excellent processor that I bought in September 2020. Even after several years, it continues to handle current games well, offering good quality performance.

    It's still responsive and stable, even with more demanding titles, proving its durability and power.

    In short, a reliable, high-performance processor that's very good for gaming, and that will continue to perform well for many years after purchase.

    A Suberpe I7

    The 10700k is a superb processor which is more powerful than the I9 of the 9th Gen: I have OC at 5.0GHZ ALL CORES and it works perfectly in games and in multitasking with my kraken X73 it does not exceed 70 °C in full load.I mounted it on a Z490 tomahawk with trident Z 16go 3600cl16 and it is a perfect combo!

    Excellent CPU

    CPU bought for a brand new build, replacing my old one which was running with an i7-6700K. Combined with an ASUS ROG Strix Z490-E GAMING CM and 16GB of DDR4 CL16 3600MHz RAM, I'm already gaining between 10 and 15 FPS on most games, while I've kept the CG of my old one (and yes, it's such a pain to get my hands on a 3070 or 3080 FE...). This CPU is very powerful, and delivers excellent performance if you combine it with good companions (clearly, I recommend the same CM, and for RAM, I chose a 2*8 GB Corsair Vengeance LPX Series Low Profile kit). The only downside is its price, which tends to increase over time. In my configuration, it is cooled by a custom Corsair Hydro X Series watercooling, and I have not yet exceeded 40°C. If you're a gaming or multi-tasking enthusiast, go for it!

    Works perfectly

    It's hard to argue with hardware that works the way you want it to: it's a very efficient processor, no installation problems.

    Very good processor

    Very good processor. Max temperature in games 70°C for an ambient temperature of 30°C.
    Even though it's 14nm, I prefer the robustness of INTEL over AMD.

    so cool this CPU

    wow really great CPU other than the i7-7700k
    a marvel of its capacities its 8 cores 16 trheads gives me a power in the game an excellent ratio of calculation
    moreover does not heat at rest 30° and in full game never exceeds 45°.
    the whole with a water cooling NZXT X63
    really great and I recommend it to you
