I had to spend an entire day figuring out how to get temperatures under control even with a 360mm AIO this thing will run in Autoconfiguration from the bios to pull max power 253+ watts at 100C depending on the game you are playing or what you are doing. I finally found a video that explained to me what was going on. I adjusted my PL1/PL2 limits from 253/253 to 145/253 and I went from a cinebench score of 35,000 100C thermal throttle to 31,000 63C all core temp average. This is already a lot of information for an average user and I had no idea or was even aware of all of this information prior to purchase but I recommend giving this video a look over instead of running the CPU at 100C thermal throttled on the regular. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnzDawjBcPM&t=11s

Works great! No issue at all! Made my computer twice as good!

Incredibly powerful easy overclocking but runs very hot AIO is required for this chip

Although pricy, I thought I didn't need this much power until I had it. It's such a game changer going from a 9th gen processor (Which i already felt was great) to a, let alone 14th gen, an i9 14th gen. I am still mindblown every day using it. Great purchase. If you plan to build a new pc and are deciding for a processor, save up a bit more for it. I promise its worth it

This can do any task i throw at it does get a little warm but got a 360 rad colling it and it does fine

The I9 14900K is the endpoint of upgrade path for me. The KS CPUs are likely just factory overclocked K CPUs as told by the TDP. Upgrade is now in the graphics cards, which I didn't need for my initial build, and drives and RAM. I can now underclock for power efficiency when on RV batteries in the wild, and overclock for fun and games. Its DAW for now and animation graphics later. The CPU install was straight forward. I won't need another build for many years. Worth a little extra money.

Extremely fast and efficient. Expensive yes but do you take your computing seriously? If you have an I9 you do

Think I got lucky and avoided getting a defective one because this thing has been amazing so far. I’ve had it for over half a year now and it’s beast. Runs everything no issues. Even star Citizen lol. Getting 60FPS in that game which is very impressive.

Good product. If your bulding brand new go with 9800x3d but if ur upgrading from 13xxx and dont want to buy a new MoBO this is the way to go.

So this is weird to say this but i .ay just make the move permanently from AMD to Intel this i9 probably one of the best ive had. I normally use AMD cause you can get roughlythe same experience for a cheaper price but even AMD knows it so they started raising their prices. This purchase comes down to what side of the street you wana walk on, either AMD or Intel... either way your good to go

Awesome and best CPU's can't wait for the next gen to upgrade. Q

Wanted something to go with my 5090 and this did not disappoint. Runs a little hot so I strongly suggest you get a really good cooler

Very Fast CPU, However Mak Sure you have A good Heatsink & Fan. It does run hot When Activity is 50%+ / 100c + thats 200f at idle Temperature is normal around 32c to 40c / 90f to 100f under average use CPU activity is around 50% I don't OVERCLOCK. it doesn't need to be. read the WARNING's they're not joking if you don't understand don't buy this

Works great. Powerful. As always, computrs cost more than we want. But great computer for recording the band.

Everything has been awsome,i think its a well built cpu,runs a little hot but with a aio helps cool things down and helps it run stable.

Upgraded from the 13900k ( had to rma and they refunded me as they were out of stock). The 14900k seems to be a bit more efficient and slightly cooler at the same processes as the 13900k. That being said its still incredibly difficult to cool. You will need a very good liquid cooling solution. As long as you are good with that this thing is a monster.

Amazing product, fast and smooth, easy to tweak and configure

Great processor, excellent quality, super-fast speed. If you're in the market for a new processor I would highly recommend the i9 14th gen.

Extreme performance, stable 6 GHZ on all performance cores and with the proper cooling beats Ryzen 7000 in efficiency and decimates in everything performance. You will need a new motherboard for the next generation Intel 15th generation, but Intels performance path with the 14900k makes this well worth any price. Rock solid stability, effortlessly overclocks with AI, as future proof as you could ever buy.

This can get really heated up , i am talking about 212*F . You would definetly need to go for a AIO cooler if you are getting this one. Dont get me wrong , this is a really powerful system but gets really heated up. To deal with the temps , undervolting can be another solution
