    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.

    14th Generation Intel processors are all currently having issues. I lost the silicone lottery after sixty days and I am now out the full price of this process as Best Buy does not support the RMA that Intel tells you to come to them for. You are playing rush and roulette with your money if you buy this item. Better to get an AMD and not here.

    Im sure it was a mistake but i received an i7 14700k instead of the i9 14900k. Still a great processor but its not what i bought.

    Impossible to cool no matter how big of a radiator I use. Very unstable but that could be on my end. Or a Faulty Cpu. Either way I have a machine the price of a used car that is collecting dust :)

    Do not buy 13th/14th Gen Intel CPUs

    I purchased a 14900K from Best Buy, and it degraded within five months of use to where it is unstable and unusable. Best Buy will not refund and Intel is dragging their feet with a RMA. Go AMD or buy 12th Gen for the time being.

    Read about the 13th and 14th gen processors in the news and you will see the issues. Mine start crashing here and there and now will not run any program, even windoes creation drive for more than a couple seconds. Its toast and i never overclocked it once. Game developers have warnings about these chips and the know problems. If I would have known this, I would have easily went AMD for my build. Too late now.
