Questions & Answers

What is the difference between this and the 10700k?

The K has an integrated graphics card, whereas the KF does not. To be honest, you're basically paying the same amount for fewer features because the two units are otherwise identical.

Is there a heat sink and a fan included with this unit?

no, it's not just the processor.

Is it compatible with the Msi z390-series graphics cards? a lga1151 (intel 8th and 9th generation) pro?

Only lga 1200 is not allowed.

I have an HP desktop with an i3 processor. Can I use this to upgrade it?

Yes, if the motherboard is an lga 1200 model.

If you got it for $289, you're in luck
5/5

Less than $99 USD If it ever goes on sale, this is a great chip to pick up for under $300. I had hoped to get a 5600x, but they were extremely difficult to come by. br>br>If you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, try using the words "innovative" and "paraphrase. " It idles at around 30 degrees Celsius and reaches 65 degrees Celsius in games (room temperature is around 24 degrees Celsius). YMMV, depending on your situation, your ability to install, and the weather in your area.

This thing moves like a bullet! For the past 20 years, I've been designing and building my own systems
5/5

If you haven't already done so, and plan to do so soon, welcome to what will be a very rewarding hobby/job. My previous build, an i7 4790, was the last of the Intel builds. Seven years ago, to be precise. I had some cash on hand and a wife who agreed that the upgrade was necessary, so we set out. It feels great to see the UPS man every day at the door or in the front yard. The jealousy of the neighbors was palpable. Installing this CPU took about the same amount of time as blinking your eye. In the figglers, it felt heavy and substantial. The construction went off without a hitch, and she's now up and running. It used to take about 30 seconds for the Bluestacks launch to complete. Now? It takes about 5 minutes to complete. There are only eight seconds! That's lightning fast! I can tell the difference in speed on several fronts, and it's a joy to command. Thank you, Intel, for yet another CPU winner.

Finally, I went from an i5-based system to an i7-based system
5/5

4500K @ 2500K 2GHz. It's never easy to replace a legend, but the Amazon Prime Day 2021 deal on the i7- Getting a decade of solid performance from an i5-4690KF was enough to motivate me to keep going. 4500K @ 2500K 2GHz is a fantastic value, and I've never had any problems with any Intel (or AMD) processor I've ever used. br>br>With one of those massive Noctua sinks, the 10700KF lit up right away. Thermodynamics and performance are both excellent. I'm not overclocking, and I don't think I need to be. However, there's a chance I'll change things up a little later. It's nice to have that option in case it's needed. I'm hoping to make it to the next decade.

From my 4690k, this is a fantastic upgrade
5/5

I got it for $260, which was a great deal. This thing is a beast, it can run any game or program at the same time, and it runs a little hot, but with a decent AIO or Air Cooler, it should be fine. I'm not sure if it's better than the 5600x for gaming, but as a Youtube content creator, programmer, and avid CAD program user, I do a LOT more with my PC. This thing eats everything I throw at it, as far as I'm concerned. The main difference for me was the price: the 10700KF was $260 at the time of my purchase, while the 5600x was $399, so it was a no-brainer. It's impossible to overestimate the importance of this processor. 10/10.

The first time was a complete rip-off, but the second time was a success
4/5

When I first ordered this product, I received a plain brown box containing a pack of bite-sized Twizzlers. That did not sit well with me, but Amazon took care of it and I received a replacement. br>br>When I got it the second time, it came in a proper box with padding, which I greatly appreciated. br>br>From what I could tell, it seemed to work quite well. It had never been opened and was exactly what it said it was. Because I gave up on building my own PC and instead bought a prebuilt, the motherboard I was sent had broken CPU pins, so I had to return both.

Box has a dent
3/5

The package arrived dingy! For $300, I receive a clearly dropped box!.

New construction has just been completed
5/5

The load time for Windows 11 is 4 seconds. Construction of a new computer. The case is a full tower. br>This Motherboard and Processor were ideal for the project I had in mind. I7 400 series 1200 pin socket on the gaming board. With multi-tasking, you simply can't bog it down. tasking. I don't play games, but I did invest in a good two-port video card. br>Due to the fact that this CPU does not have Intel HD graphics. Turning on the Intel PPL in the bios was all that was needed to get Win 11 ready. I7 / 490 MB br>The only flaw in the entire build was that there was only "one" USB 3 header. On the front panel, I usually put a 7-port USB hub, and on the back (PCI16 card), I usually put a 7-port USB hub. 650 Watt PS was used.

The ability to move quickly and effectively
5/5

I'm really happy with this decision; building a PC today will last longer than it did in the past, because CPUs can't really go beyond 5. 3GHz, 8 cores is more than enough for anything. What happened to Intel's prediction that they would surpass 10GHz 12 years ago? Anyways, I love Intel and would never switch to AMD. I've never had an issue with an Intel system, and this arrived quickly.
