    Has been good with good performance. That being said, Recent 14th gen issues cause it to get warm and micro code updates reduce performance.

    trash processor. honestly I would return if I could. I HATE this stupid thing. constant windows bugs, random crashes, I had to undervolt from the factory for it to run even slightly stable. I do NOT hit the clock speeds advertised OUT OF THE BOX. overheats terribly. its godawful. constant headache. its like owning an old car. will the computer even start today?! after a long days work I come home to play some games with buddies, nope. not tonight I bought an intel. sorry guys.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    It runs very hot so be prepared to get a better radiator and definitely get the latest Bios installed. It really helps.

    Been using this CPU for several months now. Installed on a Z690 motherboard. I used the actual Intel spec settings from the beginning (for thermals) and saved my CPU. I have had zero issues.

    Its the best you can get as far as non threadrippers. Those threadrippers are thousands of dollars for just a chip. That most people wont be able to take advantage of. For gaming and evrything this is the best.

    A CPU Workhorse

    So far my experience with the 14900k hasn’t been too bad. Setting the power limit to intels default in bios is standard if you want good thermals. Undervolting seems underwhelming. Able to - offset 0.050 but don’t really notice an improvement to temps, just lower score in cinebench. If I could do it over I would get the 14700k as performance is negligible and would save an extra $100. Overall, great cpu. Getting 35-40 celsius at idle, 55-75 under load with a kraken 360 aio, if you go with the kraken, get the elite only if you’ll view your cpu from an angle. As the small square display contrasts the black outline. Looking at it straight on is uniformed

    Rendered all applications I throw at it, this is an awesome cpu, although runs on the hot side. I had hope that Intel would have address this in this series, luckily I have an good aio to keep it cool.
