Excellent gaming CPU
I bought this CPU as an incremental upgrade to my i7-12700k , which will go into another more modest build. I really didn’t think the i7-14700k would be significantly faster than the i7-12700k, but in some games there’s a 10-15 FPS uplift. I don’t know if that’s the revised P cores doing the work or if it’s the extra E-cores. The IMC on the i7-14700k is noticeably better as well. I can run four sticks of DDR5-5600 M/T at 5400 M/T (with tighter timings) which was a pipe dream with the 12700k (which topped at 4800 M/T with the same four sticks of RAM). With that said, it’s going to be easier just to buy a two stick kit with the capacity you need instead of dilly-dallying around the BIOS trying to get four sticks of RAM to play nice on LGA 1700.Now is the upgrade worth it if you already have an Alder Lake i7? Probably not, but I was already putting together another mid-range build for someone else and this was an excuse to upgrade. But overall, I’m impressed. This CPU even holds it own again the newer Ultra 7 265k in gaming but will lose out to the higher end AMD X3D CPUs.The downsides here are that this thing has a massive power draw, and needs a beefy cooling solution. I have a 360mm AIO CPU cooler which cools it down nicely (60C-70C in typical gaming loads, topping out in the low 80’s when benchmarking) but realistically, you’re going to want at least a quality 240mm AIO or a god-tier air cooler. There’s also the issue of the 13th and 14th gen CPUs failing prematurely. I have the latest BIOS for my motherboard that in theory should mitigate that problem, and so far I haven’t had any issues at all.
Thanks!!! Nice
The payment took a while to arrive from me, but the transportation was excellent to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Everything else was as it should be.
It crashes easily under load – not overclocked, not being “torture tested”, nothing…
UPDATE: Intel’s RMA process is incredibly smooth: go to the website, open a ticket, describe how you tested, upload receipt. Then call customer service to get the ticket acted upon (and receive an RMA number). All working now, and works well.(original review)This CPU is in a linux box – good power supply, decent motherboard, fast memory, good cooling, etc. It is running Intel’s stock settings: power limited to 253w for the first 90 seconds, then throttled to 125w thereafter; amps limited to 300; thermal throttle setpoint at 85C (stock would be 100C), etc. Very conservative.It is unstable under load – it is easy to crash the machine. I first encountered this when testing it with mprime (a torture test – prime95 for linux: computing FFTs with AVX would reliably crash it). Wasn’t too worried at the time – I don’t compute many FFTs, and I was still working through the BIOS (the default BIOS settings seemed designed to fry the CPU). And it was delightfully quick for day to day use.Fast forward a month or two, I’ve now got the BIOS tuned down to sensibly conservative settings, and I’ve still found that much of the code that I *do* need to run will also reliably crash it within ten minutes (for example: running “zstd -T0 -17” on a few large files). Even if AVX, hyperthreading, and everything except basic turbo boost is turned off in the BIOS. Even after the CPUs have throttled back to 4500+3800 MHz. Even when the cores are all 15% idle and the hottest core is running at 50 degrees celsius. Even when the entire program fits in cache.It stops crashing when turbo boost is disabled and the maximum speed is limited to 3.5Ghz.Apparently many of these are defective. It doesn’t help that most motherboards come with insane default settings (so you don’t know whether it is the CPU, the motherboard or the memory unless you can swap out parts).Mine’s going to get RMA’d to Intel. Maybe they can find me one that works.
a major upgrade from i5 9600k
i wasn’t sure if it would be much of a difference but boy was i wrong.being able to browse the internet and game all the same is leagues faster and smoother than ever.plus getting it at a discount was even better the price to performance is beyond amazingany heating issues that were there tbh have mostly been addressed with its bio’s update
The i7-14700K is a beast right out of the box, but it runs hot. In our build, stock settings pushed Cinebench multi-core temps up to 90 °C, and the system was clearly working overtime to keep things cool. The performance was solid around 28,600 points, but it was not power efficient.After undervolting, the difference was night and day. Temps dropped to 71 °C under the same Cinebench load, with barely any loss in score (28,450). We also saw similar results in 3DMarkCPU temps dropped from 87 °C to 70 °C, and the score only dipped slightly. Even single-core performance held steady, but temps still improved from 72 °C down to 64 °C.What stood out most was how much quieter and smoother the system ran. Undervolting didn’t just help with temps, it brought balance. It gave us full power when we needed it, without feeling like the system was under stress.additionally, to support the 14700K properly, we used the Thermalright LGA1700-BCF contact frame in place of the stock bracket. It gave us more even mounting pressure and helped reduce CPU temps by a few degrees while avoiding the common warping issues with LGA1700 sockets. Cooling was handled by the Thermalright Frozen Warframe S360 AIOThe 14700K is great, but it’s aggressive on voltage by default. If you care about thermals, fan noise, or just want your system to last longer, **undervolting is a no-brainer**. In our build, it made all the difference — better efficiency, same power, less heat. Wouldn’t run this CPU any other way.
Fungerar stabilt och snabbt, bios på MB uppdaterat så det är inga problem där.Riktigt snabb vid rendering av lite komplexare ritningar.Mycket positivt.

Wow that’s Fast
I bought it to overclock and realized I don’t need to. It’s just that good.

8年前のゲーミングPCから買い替え。Corei7 6700からなので当然ですが非常に高い性能で満足しています。CINE BENCH R23では31,000超え。(画像は全てベンチマーク中)ただし、かなり発熱しますね。360mmラジエーターの簡易水冷でもMAX100℃になることがあり、サーマルスロットリングでクロック数が4.6GHｚ近くまで落ちます。マザボの初期設定では電力制限かかっておらず、253Wの最大値に。ゲーム中で80℃超えるのはさすがに…、ということで200Wに制限。するとMAX75～80℃まで抑えられ、4.5GHz前後に。これでも十分なのでしばらくはこれでいこうと思います。

Solid. Stays around 35°c at idle (AIO). Highly recommended for video editing and gaming in general.
