Fantastic processor, but do NOT use the stock cooler. It cannot cool sufficiently, and thus the cooler runs at high speed ALL the time, creating a ridiculous level of noise. Be prepared to buy a decent aftermarket cooler. Fantastic processor, but do NOT use the stock cooler.

I have bought this CPU for my first pc build, so far it has been excellent compared to my old laptop with a i5 8250u I have bought this CPU for my first pc build, so far it has been excellent compared to my old laptop with a i5 8250u

I've been waiting for 10th Gen to come out and grabbed this one as I'm not planning to overclock. Been using it for almost a month and had no issues after trying several modern games. Paired this with ASUS PRIME Z490-P and ASUS GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER TUF 6GB. I've been waiting for 10th Gen to come out and grabbed this one as I'm not planning to overclock.

I love this processor. I have used it for a few weeks now and have had zero issues with it whatsoever. 10/10 would buy again except I won't have to buy another processor ever again I love this processor.

Works as intended...no problems after 2 months use. Very happy with speed...but only have 2nd Laptop i7 to compare with. Works as intended...no problems after 2 months use. Very happy with speed...but only have 2nd Laptop i7 to compare with.

This is working perfectly. good grunt to power thru our CAD program. This is working perfectly. good grunt to power thru our CAD program.

Good value upgrade Dec 2020 of an i7-2600 system that I bought secondhand in 2015. I use this for indie film editing including 3D artwork. I did the same render before and after; 21 minutes on the old i7-2600 and 7 minutes on this new i7-10700. I bought a Cryorig M9i tower cooler to go with this and I recommend that. Doing my maximum demand of rendering full-on including time at 100 percent, it runs at 65 degrees. I think Cryorig is enabling "Turbo" to kick in more generously than I expected because I am seeing speeds of 4.4 to 4.6 GHz and power at 85W with peaks over 100W. Small criticism, not enough to lose a star, of the instructions and...view more Good value upgrade Dec 2020 of an i7-2600 system that I bought secondhand in 2015.

Small criticism, not enough to lose a star, of the instructions and information that comes with this as in diagrams needing more detail. I had a concern when I went to push down the spring clip to hold this in its socket and it seemed to require a lot of force. I stopped and practised with my old i7-2600 setup which is similar and discovered it too had the same high force feeling and the same clip alignment so I was able to go ahead. Otherwise I may have needed to stop and check with colleagues. I will add that I am experienced with hardware builds but mostly repurposing older systems for education etc. The experience of this newfangled thing was smooth and familiar apart from the spring clip concern. Note that Intel states "intended to be professionally installed".

Great value for a cpu , I didn't recoment the fan of serie, buy a good block. Great value for a cpu , I didn't recoment the fan of serie, buy a good block.

Great to get right I7 CPU . the last 2700 I used it for 8 years, no issue at all . always stick with I7 for work . love it ! Great to get right I7 CPU . the last 2700 I used it for 8 years, no issue at all . always stick with I7 for work . love it !
