10700 or 10700kf

[Powtmow]

I was debating between the i7 10700 and the i7 10700kf which are at the same price. My motherboard will be the msi z490 gaming edge wifi with a 240mm aio cooler. I don’t really need the integrated graphics but at the same time i don’t know if overclocking the 10700kf is worth it since i’m more of a plug and play guy.

IIRC 10700 all core is around 4.6, and all-core on the 10700k is only 100-200mhz more. You could do well with just getting the 10700 and removing power limits. At that frequency there's not much a difference between 4.6 and 4.8. And to be honest, even between 4.8 and 5.2.

But 5.2 will get you street cred and forum groupies

Hush, this is how I make sure we're always at the top, by convincing others to stay down!

 

 

That's a joke btw, it really doesn't make a significant difference OP. If the 10700 is cheaper and you aren't going to overclock, just get the 10700. Especially since it also has iGPU which can be useful at times.

Perfect, thank you!

Welcome

 

The funny thing is, I spent $420 on the 10900k, $240 on a Z590, $200 on fast memory, and $190 on a big cooler

 

That's $1050. And in the games I play, at the refresh I play at, I probably could have gotten away with a 10700 ($260), a basic B560 ($150), typical 3200 memory ($80), and a basic cooler (Fume 2 $60) ~$550 almost half the price. 

 

Like, there's almost no real practical difference for gaming. 

 

So who's REALLY the fool here?
