    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.

    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.

    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

    powerful for gaming and multitasking. does get a bit warm so get a good cooler if you plan on overclocking. I got 5.7Ghz across all cores but really don't need it at stock settings its still very strong.
