Customer Ratings & Reviews

Best Buy rocks! Fast shipping, awesome customer service.

These computer products are way too expensive. The product is good, just way over priced. 540 plus tax? Crazy

The staff was very helpful in easing tbe process from purchase to installation.

Was great until it wasn't. The one I ordered a while back was part of the massive batch of failed processors. Just got done getting my RMA submitted and approved. Now 7 days until I get back to a working home computer - will update review afterwards to consider the replacement's performance.

i am furious. i spent all my savings to finally have a dream machine. it didn't last a year before my computer started crashing more and more until it was totally unusable. i'm not able to just get up and go to best buy whenever i want. i had to pay for another one just so geek squad could test if that was the problem. we're getting to the furious part. the members of geek squad told me that the 14th gen is known to be defective and fail and they are just hoping that the new one i bought was new enough that the issue had been resolved on it. there wasn't a whole lot i could do since for some reason computer components don't come with a warranty, even for total members, which i am, and even though i was sold a product that was known to be defective. it would certainly be bad enought if this was the end of it. geek squad testing now causes the diagnostic to fail and crash my computer during a graphics test. they said all i could do was take it home and try it out. now over half of my games crash or can't even load. to sum up, my expensive dream machine is a piece of junk and there doesn't seem to be anyone willing to help me.

I bought this and was super excited. Immediately had instability issues out of the box, later did research and discovered all of the problems with the 14900k. I got nervous and returned the item. I learned after that if you update motherboard bios and whatnot the problems should go away. Even if they did, I didnt want to spend the amount of money for this chip to deal with any possible headaches in the future. Seemed like an unsure bet.

This Processor will run it. Not sure what it won’t be good for. Video editing is flawless

It gets no better than this. I would purchase this processor again. It handles everything I throw at it!!!

Seems to be working well so far. Runs as hot as everyone says it does.

I bought this after my previous cpu took a turn for the worse.

Was mid switched to ryzen be prepared for instability issues it wasn’t terrible but constant bsod is horrible cpu was good gaming wise tho

This is one part of a computer I purchased and the geek squad built for me now I need a computer teacher.

Good CPU but not much change from my 13900K 100mhz difference. same amount of cores just Price is to high for this CPU My Benchmarks were the same as my 13900K

Works great when you keep it under 253 watts, even running Cinebench.

Terrible processor. Regularly hits 100 degrees C. Ive RMA'd the first one i got to make sure it wasnt just me, i used 2 different CPU coolers. (Noctua DH-15 and a 280mm AIO from NZXT) Ive swapped it into my old case to be sure it wasnt air flow. This thing is just a horrible power hog for no good reason. Ive had to downclock it to get it to run at normal temps and its still insanely hot. I paid 600+ dollars to downclock my processor to be as fast as a $300 proc. Ive been an Intel fanboy for as long as i can remember but for the first time i am saying this is a giant miss, go AMD if youre just gaming.

Best Core i9 out so i obviously had to max out my pc because i want the best

Its fast processor. But kept on crashing while gaming. I hope intel get it fixed soon.

Just upgraded from 10th to 14 generation with 4090 gpu.

I love this chipset i9-14900k cant go wrong with thr latest from intel

Instability. Again. Unreal. Built a new pc in October of 23. 13900k/4090. Absolute beast of a pc. 6 months later 13900k was showing signs of instability. Updated bios blah blah did all the things. Got a refund from Intel, went and bought this 14900k…was good for about 3 months. Then started showing signs of instability. Took 2 months to get it refunded through Intel. Obviously went to amd 3rd time around.
