    Powerfull

    So there is conplaints about tenps but more than likely they are doing something wrong or using poor cooling. Im running a kraken 360 aio and my temps are cool. Gaming in helldivers 2 or fortnite which are more cpu intense, im around 58-62c all day. Idle around 24-29c. Just do the microcode update to your bios and you are golden. The cpu is a beast.

    Best CPU I’ve bought

    Bought this cpu with the integrated graphics because I like to swap and test gpus. I also game extremely heavy and love the performance. I will say thermals are a little less than ideal but nothing a good 240mm or 360mm AIO won’t fix. Paired this with a 240mm Corsair AIO and absolutely love the performance!

    Good addition to my gaming PC

    It improved my overall system performance, faster, and improved my gameplay in terms of FPS. Goong from a 12th gen I5 to this was a good investment fornmy new build. My only problem is the 14700K does run hot. So a good cooling AIO or something woild be needed in my opinion.

    Don’t waste your money buying an i9-13900K, WOW

    I was debating to buy an i9-14900K, Then i9-13900K, reading and comparing and i couldn’t understand why the difference is knlg a few dollars, looked like another gimmick from Intel. So i said let me check if i7-12700K upgrade to i7-14700K and the answer is short, Save over $200 by not upgrading to i9-12900K, i9-13900K and i9-14900K, Why? I7-14th gen is the newest gimmick from Intel. i5 looks so much appealing then looks like a gimmick that makes i7 is the best middle rangne that beats the i9 by not having much oerformance difference cause it’s unoticable but money wise. I can’t express how much i hate Intel for this scam. Do i trust Intel anymore? Hell no. Bottom line my favorite games ever is State of decay: juggernaut edition, When i upgraded hesitantley from i7-12700K which i was excited about, After days of confusing research it was a huge performance difference and glad i did this upgrade.
