This thing is a powerhouse, make sure you have a cooler to match (360 mm aio or bigger) upgraded from 10th gen i9. Major improvements.Not much different from the 13th gen. Get whichever is on sale.

Definitely a noticeable upgrade from the 12th gen i9 for me. I am always impressed by intels upgrades though this one isn’t much from the 13th gen it’s still very reliable and on sale worth every penny.

I completely do not understand how Intel has Completely forgone, quality control. Apparently there's a huge issue at the CPU failing. I am under constant watching for any indication of failure. Would not recommend due to the lack of my ability to pre research, this product. If I knew everything about it, I probably would have went to Ryzen for the first time in my entire life.

Moving from a core 2 duo to this is phenomenal. Fast and runs great with graphite pad and air cooling. Im sure its cooler on water but im not a risk taker

The Intel Core i9-14900K 14th Gen processor offers impressive performance with its 24 cores and 32 threads, making it a powerhouse for heavy multitasking, gaming, and content creation. Its boost in single-core performance is particularly strong, and the overall speed is hard to match. However, while the raw power is undeniable, there are concerns about long-term reliability.
The biggest downside is the potential for faults beyond the warranty period. This processor runs hot under heavy loads, even with proper cooling, which could lead to long-term stability issues. Given the premium price point, the worry of failure just outside the warranty window is a notable drawback.
For those looking for high performance and are willing to take the risk, it may still be worth it, but for those prioritizing durability, it might be better to explore other options or ensure you have an extended warranty plan in place.

Great powerful processor, although maybe a little overkill for most applications. Make sure your motherboard is compatible with this CPU before purchasing.
