💪 High-Performance Intel Core i7-10700KF 3.80GHz LGA1200 Socket CPU - Delivering Exceptional Power at 125 Watts Review

Purchased to take the place of the I7 3770k. The 10700 has shown to be almost 1.5 times stronger in synthetic tests. In games, things are done differently. Some places have no distinction between the two, whereas other places do.

at a price in the region of 27,500, the processor comes out very suitable. If you do not overclock, you can do without a top board and cooling.

Performance is top notch. Not a processor but a bullet! BUT! Horror how hot! Guys, without a serious cooler, you can not take it, you need to provide a case with the ability to install a decent tower up to 170mm. The temperature reaches 100 gr. literally in a minute, then throttling and a performance loss of 15-20%. Gentlemen from Intel, how long can you torment 14 nm. It is no longer possible to cool the top stones and the power consumption is terrible!

All tests have been done for a long time, I would add that the Thermalright AXP-100H Muscle cooler copes insofar as it does. It was not the best idea to build a compact system with mini-ITX and a small box. And so we get that when processing RAW photos in ACR / Lightroom, it heats up to 90 with stable throttling. With the tower, I think the problem will be completely forgotten. Of the games I have not tried anything newer than 2022, and he does not even feel them.

The stone is simply very hot in every way, in both good and bad ways. I took the "KF" version, and for this processor, at least you need to take water cooling, and the better it is, the better, otherwise, wait for trolling at least and the stove as a maximum, just because the more clean it takes, the hotter it gets' and use it on small scales, despite the fact that it should work at 5 gigahertz, well, or at least at 4 gigahertz, this is stupid and unsinkable, since with the same success you can

I play games very rarely, so I can not compare the difference. But in my version, the difference is visible. Since I changed the 3rd generation processor (also i7) to the 10th generation processor, the difference is felt. In the case of a not so big difference between generations, I think the difference will not be so noticeable. Different pros: For design tasks, a very necessary stone. As always, in normal operation, a thinner stone is enough. But since the client often needs "yesterday"…

Different pros: I put it in Asus prime z490-a, I didn’t drive it, I just removed the limits. Works stably 4.7 at 100% load, voltage 1.3. Memory 3200 on edie wound up on 4000 without problems. Cons below: It heats up noticeably, although at coretemp the consumption is 40W (60W in prime)
