    A Nightmare product

    Posted .

    A scam product. Before this I had an i9-14900KF and it would shut down during a shader compilation when I played Uncharted 4 PC and Returnal PC so I Bought this item brand new and went through two motherboards only to find out I was sold a dud and was a nightmare to try and get a refund after the employees treated my mother and I like 3rd rate thugs accusing us of things we don’t do. In the end I ended up with nice 7800x3D with 64 gigs ram and a b650 Steel legend WiFi motherboard instead off of Amazon. First image illustrated is an example of a dud and the 2nd image was the cpu I had bought. I’m not doing this for the $400 review money or whatever that is. I’ve already called corporate.

    I mean if you want the best performing CPU this is without a doubt the only CPU you’ll need. It’s a bit pricey but is definitely worth it.

    The Intel Core i9-14900K has been alright, but I've been experiencing significant instability issues, with the system crashing frequently. After researching online, I found that this is an extremely common problem caused by a microcode algorithm that results in increased voltage, leading to crashes and performance degradation. It has taken Intel longer than I would have expected to address this issue, and unfortunately, the damage to my CPU has already been done. My only hope is that this will be covered under warranty and that Intel will resolve the issue swiftly.

    [Employee of bestbuy] Probably not much better than 13th gen. But it sure is powerful and a nightmare to cool when drawing near 250 watts.

    What more can you ask for? It's a top of the line CPU...but you'll definitely need a 360mm AIO to keep it cool.
