    400 watts plus

    Here is whay I think of the 14700K and its Sibling the 14900k . 1st and foremost dont overclock it It is fast as you can get it in fact I would underclock it and Undervolt it. We all know heat kills electronics but to put 400 watts plus on a computer Chip is insane . I killed a 3770 k by overvolting . I have never killed a cpu because of heat in fact they start throtling when the Heat is on. The problem here is If you need productivity then get the 14900 K buy gaming @ say 5.4 Ghz on all P cores is more than ebought to keep up with 4090 RTX and have all settings to max Of you only game the 14700 k os the same thing just less cores . Both of them are beast just make sure you undervolt if not you will fry them

    Solid Processor and Good Value

    I bought this processor to replace a 13th Gen I9 processor and have been quite happy with it. My experience with the older I9 processor was mostly positive, except for the ongoing intermittent issue of the PC freezing and crashing. I am currently in the process of submitting a RMA for this I9 processor which does not seem to be a quick process. So, I bought this I7 processor since uses the same LGA 1700 socket and I did not need to buy a new motherboard. I have ran every benchmark test on this chip, played multiple games, host several applications, and have not had any of the issues I previously experienced with the previous CPU. I have been very happy with this processor and I would recommend it to anyone looking for solid performing CPU without the high price tag.

    Great chip, great price on sale. The LGA 1700 socket is done for. I would recommend at least a 240mm AIO. I tried using this with a Noctua air cooler and it was not only inadequate for gaming, but also sounded like a bee-hive while it was trying to keep up.

    Everything is in good and working order. Nothing was damaged even though the box came all dented. The stock is good, maybe the shipping or storage practices leave something to be desired. Built my computer and everything clicked on like a charm.

    Fast CPU but runs hot

    This thing is fast but it runs really hot. I have a Noctua U12A and it struggles to keep the cpu cool during heavy use. I recommend this cpu if you have space in your pc for a bigger cooler than mine, or if you don’t mind 80-100c temps during heavy use.

    The reason I went with the 14700k is because it torques your PC. The i9 runs so hot that I went with a more managable i7. I have no complaints. Easily overclocks. I recommend a dual chamber noctua air cooler or a very highend AIO cooler.

    I bought an i9-13900k yesterday & it was D.O.A., really wasn't happy at all, but I was able to return it today for a full refund, and so I bought this i7-14700k instead. Works flawlessly. TBH, a lot of the i9-13900k's are shipped non-working, get the 14700k instead; not much difference in performance, plus it's cheaper, especially with price matching with Microcenter.

    I’ve heard mixed things about the whether the failures with these chips have been resolved or not. I undervolted to 220w for peace of mind and haven’t had any issues. Temps have been perfectly fine, though I do have an AIO cooler. It’s met the average benchmarks posted by others online. Plus, Intel is generous with the RMA process for these, given the failures situation and all
