Customer Ratings & Reviews

Honestly it's a really good CPU. Got it recommended to me for my 5060 ti and I'm loving it! Running Marvel's Spider-Man at 120 fps with no drops and it's amazing. Highly recommend if you're a mid-tier PC user like I am.

Upgraded from a 12600k and i am extremely happy, Noticeable difference in gaming and productivity. I updated bios prior to installation and i have the CPU undervolted. Under full load i dont go above 80 degrees and in gaming im around 50-60 degrees. No issues thankfully and i hope it stays that way. Loving it!

Coming from an i7-10700k to this and a DDR5 MoBo upgrade is a game changer. She runs a little hotter than the 10th gen unit, but nothing to write home about (42C under heavy load instead of 34C) especially since I'm using a 360mm AIO. I'm no longer bottlenecked, and the difference is beautiful to experience. Have it paired with 64GB of 6,000 DDR5 and a Gigabyte Windforce SFF (Small Form Factor) RTX 5080 and I couldn't be happier. Case temps aren't causing my room to heat up any more than before (with the 5080 they're actually lower than the previous 4070 Ti GPU) and having all those extra cores makes a noticeable difference. If you're debating between this or an i9 option, just get this one. The price difference to go to an i9 isn't worth the extra money for the performance difference you see (or rather won't see).

Upgrading from a i5-12600k, there were massive improvements to performance. Have run consistently for a month and no issues to note. The CPU runs hot under load but stays within expected range under stress test

This is a very toasty little cpu. It thermal throttles at full load on my Liquid Freezer III 280mm AiO at stock. I just put a -0.100 offset on my core voltage, and now it runs in the mid-80s (on average) in Cinebench with a higher score. I'm not skilled enough yet to tune by frequency, but undervolting is definitely the way to go. I got it on sale and decided to upgrade.

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

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.

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.

Works great! Haven’t had any issues with it at all! My computer is running wayyy better ever since I put this cpu in!

I hate we made things like lightning fast and thunderbolt marketing because the fact of matter is we just keep getting faster! This is the fastest I have ever multi tasked and played games this thing boots up in 2.5 secs ok its ridiculous what's next instant!!

I purchased the i7 for an upgrade to my PC gaming setup. Easy to install on a new mobo and great performance. A big step up from my i5.

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.

Great overall CPU. No issues at all. Great for gaming.

Really good upgrade from and i7 9700k, need a real good cooler unless you want to under volt the cpu to control temps

The Intel i7 14th-gen processor is excellent, delivering fast performance, smooth multitasking, and strong efficiency for demanding workloads. Its improved core architecture boosts productivity, gaming, and creative tasks with ease. Reliable thermals and compatibility make it a solid upgrade choice. Overall, it offers outstanding value and power for modern computing needs.

Great processor. This is my third upgrade and of course the best so far

An incredible fast processor for a powerful working or gaming computer.
