    Excellent, it has been used in heavy computational tasks - simulations of social networks and other long experiments - with excellent response both in terms of experiment execution time and temperature. Definitely value for money, at least at the moment.

    processor and it performs exceptionally well. It was purchased in June 2021. Don't forget that Intel's K (unlocked) processors do not come with a stock cooler, so you will need to get one separately. In my build, the Noctua NH-U9S does an amazing job of cooling the 10700K. It was paired with an MSI Z490-A PRO motherboard

    The processor is used solely for gaming.

    With the z490 aorus elite ac, it runs a little hotter than expected... it goes up to 1.380v.

    The cooler is the h115i placed in the front with the pump running at maximum rpm...

    What I heard on the internet was true, the processor gets excessively hot to the point where it reaches 95 degrees in cinebench, which led me to undervolt it and bring it down to 4.7ghz at 1.26voltage...
    Anyway, on its own, it hasn't gone above 4.7 with 1.38v, except in the Windows boot file.

    It performs excellently with the 2070 super, even in the poorly optimized and demanding game Warzone, with the GPU load constantly at 98%.

    UPDATE
    I wonder why I received negative reviews on my evaluation?

    I got him as a photography workstation. I can say he's fantastic when it comes to multitasking. He's stable in performance and doesn't overheat. I'm idle at 32C with a dark rock slim, and with photo editing programs like Adobe, it doesn't go above 60 even with heavy use. I'm running him with 64GB RAM at 2933 (as the manufacturer suggests), and he handles all programs with ease, even opening new ones as if no other programs are running! It's crazy! I did an update on 11/05/2021, and the games I play don't go above 65. I terminate him with raw files from the Nikon D850 when saving or using actions in Photoshop, but he does it quickly. If you have the money and you're a photographer at the level we understand, then yes, it's better to go for an i9, but even this chip won't leave you with any complaints!

    I upgraded from an i5-7600K to an i7-10700K after 3.5 years, and I can say that I am very satisfied. I thought about following the hype of this period, but I considered that this specific processor would easily cover what I want to do, which is gaming + 3ds max rendering.

    I put it on a Gigabyte Z490 Gaming X motherboard and it works smoothly, with an NZXT X63 liquid cooler, it doesn't heat up even if I push it hard. Only with Folding@Home did the processor reach 50 degrees.

    If you don't want to spend 500 euros on the 5600x, it is a very good solution for gaming, etc.

    POSITIVES: For its price, it is very good and especially with a good cooler, it runs everything comfortably. Its performance in games is very good.
    NEGATIVES: Worse performance in multithreading and applications compared to the equivalent Ryzen processors from AMD that belong to the same price range

    I recently updated to this from the i7 4770k. Overall, I am very excited about both the speed and performance. I am using the Arctic Freezer 34 eSports Duo cooler and even though I pushed it quite hard with image processing, it responded quite well and the temperatures were on average just above 70 degrees, which I consider very impressive.

    In general, the processor is good but it is now considered outdated in terms of performance, price, and competition. It would be worth 5 stars and buying like all processors of this generation from Intel, since they now cost 50€ - 60€ less, all thanks to AMD!

    Very good processor, I switched to this one from the 4790k and noticed a difference in gaming performance. It is recommended for its price. However, temperatures are a bit high even with a darkquiet cooler, but it is likely due to my case because I also had high temperatures with the 4790k

    The processor is amazing in combination with a very good motherboard, very good cooling, either liquid cooling or classic air cooling. Personally, for cooling, I have installed the Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 with this processor and at full load with all cores at 100%, the temperature does not exceed 63 degrees. Also, in combination with a very good graphics card (Medium to High End, for example, Nvidia RTX2070, 2080, 2080Ti / AMD RX580, RX590), this processor does not lag anywhere! Finally, do not expect much from the integrated graphics Intel UHD Graphics 630, as they are for simple use and light games.

    I got him as a photography workstation. I can say he's fantastic when it comes to multitasking. He's stable in performance and doesn't overheat. I'm idle at 32C with a dark rock slim, and with photo editing programs like Adobe, it doesn't go above 60 even with heavy use. I'm running him with 64GB RAM at 2933 (as the manufacturer suggests), and he handles all programs with ease, even opening new ones as if no other programs are running! It's crazy! I did an update on 11/05/2021, and the games I play don't go above 65. I terminate him with raw files from the Nikon D850 when saving or using actions in Photoshop, but he does it quickly. If you have the money and you're a photographer at the level we understand, then yes, it's better to go for an i9, but even this chip won't leave you with any complaints!

    I upgraded from an i5-7600K to an i7-10700K after 3.5 years, and I can say that I am very satisfied. I thought about following the hype of this period, but I considered that this specific processor would easily cover what I want to do, which is gaming + 3ds max rendering.

    I put it on a Gigabyte Z490 Gaming X motherboard and it works smoothly, with an NZXT X63 liquid cooler, it doesn't heat up even if I push it hard. Only with Folding@Home did the processor reach 50 degrees.

    If you don't want to spend 500 euros on the 5600x, it is a very good solution for gaming, etc.

    POSITIVES: For its price, it is very good and especially with a good cooler, it runs everything comfortably. Its performance in games is very good.
    NEGATIVES: Worse performance in multithreading and applications compared to the equivalent Ryzen processors from AMD that belong to the same price range

    I recently updated to this from the i7 4770k. Overall, I am very excited about both the speed and performance. I am using the Arctic Freezer 34 eSports Duo cooler and even though I pushed it quite hard with image processing, it responded quite well and the temperatures were on average just above 70 degrees, which I consider very impressive.

    In general, the processor is good but it is now considered outdated in terms of performance, price, and competition. It would be worth 5 stars and buying like all processors of this generation from Intel, since they now cost 50€ - 60€ less, all thanks to AMD!

    Very good processor, I switched to this one from the 4790k and noticed a difference in gaming performance. It is recommended for its price. However, temperatures are a bit high even with a darkquiet cooler, but it is likely due to my case because I also had high temperatures with the 4790k

    The processor is amazing in combination with a very good motherboard, very good cooling, either liquid cooling or classic air cooling. Personally, for cooling, I have installed the Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 with this processor and at full load with all cores at 100%, the temperature does not exceed 63 degrees. Also, in combination with a very good graphics card (Medium to High End, for example, Nvidia RTX2070, 2080, 2080Ti / AMD RX580, RX590), this processor does not lag anywhere! Finally, do not expect much from the integrated graphics Intel UHD Graphics 630, as they are for simple use and light games.

    Good CPU cooler for temperatures above 60 degrees Celsius under full load with a Noctua NH12

    I have had it for 3 years running at 5GHz 1.33V and the PC works 24/7! Under stress test temperatures, it reaches 75°C, cooled by an H100i Platinum

    i7 what else to say! A bit pricey I would say, but quite fast. Add a decent M2 and a proper MB and you're good to go!

    Excellent, it has been used in heavy computational tasks - simulations of social networks and other long experiments - with excellent response both in terms of experiment execution time and temperature. Definitely value for money, at least at the moment.

    processor and it performs exceptionally well. It was purchased in June 2021. Don't forget that Intel's K (unlocked) processors do not come with a stock cooler, so you will need to get one separately. In my build, the Noctua NH-U9S does an amazing job of cooling the 10700K. It was paired with an MSI Z490-A PRO motherboard
