Whats your budget and where are you located?

I7-10700 (non K) comes with a stock intel cooler that will do the job.
I would start with that.
Under load, the 92mm fan will spin up and might be a bit noisy, but it will do the job.

What is the make/model of your case?
If you have 160mm headroom, there are any number of tower type coolers with 120mm fans that will be more than adequate.
Noctua makes some very good ones that are quiet with easy to install mounting systems.

Specs say it supports 160mm air coolers.
I do not know where you shop or your prices.
Here is a noctua NH-U12s:

A less expensive cooler that I have used before is the scythe kotetsu.

Commonly available is the cm hyper 212.
That would work also, but I found it difficult to mount the cooler properly.
The instructions are not so good.
