Performance on i7 10700K
Gaming performs well at 5 GHz and 5.1 GHz, reaching peak temperatures near 68°C during intense titles, while lighter games like PUGBO typically stay around 60°C. For synthetic chips, I hit 5 GHz with a max of 93°C on demanding benchmarks like Prime95 (average around 88°C). This is based on a budget build that I’ll upgrade soon, so you can expect about 4-5°C less heat with a better cooler. I suggest using the 360mm socket for higher overclocking potential, and the cost remains similar.
