    Great CPU. Runs at advertised speeds, though undervolting is necessary. Even with a 360 AIO and an undervolt applied it will still reach 100C easily in heavy loads. Was reaching 100C in standard AAA titles, but the undervolt brought that down to mid 60s.

    I got the 14900k after my 13900k started to have extreme degradation problems. Its a strong chip if you have the cooling to keep the temps under control.

    No problems with this cpu just install new bios updates your good to go. Undr voltaging is a must. This paired with a rtx5090 is dream. Also great for content creation and other work loads besides gaming.

    Hey, are you looking for an Excuse to hit the proceed to chekckout button? Well here it is. Purchased to finally upgrade my gaming PC, am i satisfied? Yes. Is this CPU is incredibly overpowered for my type of gaming? Also yes. But isn’t this the American way? MORE POWAHH BABY! No more crashes, no more fps drop since my gpu is no long bottlenecked by my puny old generation cpu that was trying to paddle down the river of data with nothing but a spoon. Now it’s more like a 1500hp pontoon boat ready to party and hit the boat launch first. And everyone is invited. 10/10 would recommend.

    Its pretty quick, i was debating on getting the 13900k and just went ahead an got the 14900k. You’ll need a decent cooler since it runs a bit hot, I did some undervolting to keep it stable under high usage. Overall it’s great.

    I bought this for my PC build. Intel has been around for forever and I figured the most updated CPU would make everything easier for the build and gaming. If you dont stress your pc, this CPU is fine However, without making any changes out of the box, it will quickly overheat and may give a BSOD. It was only have I looked up issues and the changes/tweaks needed to optimize the cpu to handle stress that I was able to achieve good and healthy temperatures for it. If you're looking to purchase this CPU, be aware of its issues. There are many articles and threads about it as well as YouTube videos on it as well. You'll have to make changes in your PC to make it run the most optimal way Other than that, works as expected

    My brother and I purchased these around the same week. Mine works , his is on its way for RMA and possibly a refund. Doing some research online and the first thing that comes up is a 50% failure rate. If you do get one that works , it is very powerful and can handle anything you throw at it.

    The results were nothing short of impressive. With the i9-14900K processor, I was able to achieve a staggering 1000 frames per second FPS in Valorant. The gameplay was silky smooth, with no noticeable lag or stuttering. The processor handled the game's demanding graphics and physics with ease, making it a joy to play. like I was on a pro players gaming setup Rating: 5/5

    I love this CPU its fast and snappy. Since i do more than just gaming i wanted an Intel CPU. The only issues is that you need to make sure your motherboard is updated to the latest BIOS. Other than that its great. If you will only be gaming then go with the AMD x3d CPUs, but if you will be doing more than that definitely get this CPU

    Bought a "new" lower-end CPU through another marketplace, and it came open. Thankfully, this was ready for pick-up immediately, and runs much better than my previously burnt out CPU
