intel CORE I7-14700K 3.40GHZ SKTLGA1700 33.00MB CACHE BOXED

Powerhouse of a processor (albeit power hungry too!) but overall, a really good CPU (provided you have adequate cooling, 100% an AIO job for this beast) Nothing I have been able to throw at this so far that it hasn't just sailed through.

The Intel 13th and 14th generation i7 and i9 unlocked CPUs have had a difficult time recently due to overvoltage under idle or light load. Hopefully this has been resolved by the microcode updates. Both CPUs have a reputation for being difficult to cool, and requiring AIO water cooling. Get the cooling right and these are still good CPUs for gaming and productivity. The i7-14700K is a good cost / performance mix and works well with Z790 motherboards. Z890 motherboards have a different socket, and no longer use DDR4 and PCIe Gen 4 NVMe. Although I'm not a gamer, my everyday self-build computers are always gaming motherboards with overclocked unlocked Intel CPUs, as they are reliable. I might have been pushing my luck with this build. ROG STRIX Z790-H Gaming Wi-Fi motherboard, i7-14700K CPU with Noctua NH-D15 air cooler and, Team Group DDR5 7200MHz memory. The Noctua heat pipes clash with the VRM heatsink, so the Noctua big cooler has to be swung through 90 degrees: see the first photo. I use the integrated graphics, so the placement of a graphics card wasn't an issue. The second photo shows the UEFI BIOS screen. CPU at 5900MHz, DDR5 memory at 7200MHz, CPU at 39 degrees C, motherboard at 28 degrees C, XMP1 profile enabled. At idle, it consumes around 45 watts; the PSU is an EVGA 650 P2 Platinum rated. Update 20 March 2025 It has run perfectly since my earlier review, so it appears that the BIOS update has worked. I forgot to mention that the CPU was mounted with a Thermaltake anti-bending frame, so that may be keeping the temperature lower too. More than happy with the STRIX motherboard and Intel CPU. Update 16 September 2025 Still running everyday on the overclocked settings without a problem, even during the hot days this summer.

I decided to give Intel a try for my new build, so far I've slightly overclocked it and I have no problems with speeds, runs everything I've thrown at it fine so far. Installation was easy as per usual with CPUs, keeps cool under load with my AIO.

Great cpu.. very powerful but needs a strong cooler under stress but i dont get to stress it much due to being so strong!

Easy to install with a contact frame speed is very good I use a AIO with mine keeps temps under control does draw a lot of power even when setting it to intel default limits I have seen over 280 watts only for a few seconds but it does use a lot of power so a good psu is recommended and a very good cooler too is also required I have had it hit temps of 89c on a all core workload for gaming you won’t see these temps the hottest it has gotten play cyberpunk 2077 is around 65c max just idling watch videos on YouTube it runs around 30 to 40c so as long as you pair it with a good cooler you are good intel have released the new processors I have had this but they only reduce power usage and no real performance gains yet so I would still buy this when it is on sale

While AMD has the gaming CPU market pretty much cornered, for people with an Intel-compatible motherboard this is one of the best options you can get. In terms of price / performance ratio this is one of the best mid-range CPUs available and competes with the equivalent price AMD options. The one downside with the CPU is the high power consumption (and therefore, heat production). Out of the box, it runs very hot and my cooler was running at maximum speed (producing a LOT of noise), so I STRONGLY advise undervolting. After a few hours of testing, I managed to reduce the wattage significantly with no real reduction in performance and got it running stably. Overall, I would recommend this CPU if you are constrained on chipset and don't mind doing a bit of manual work to get it running effectively, but if you are building a whole new PC and can pick your motherboard there are several better options available.

Can game/code/simulate without problems. Doesn't get hotter than 60/70 Celsius with an AIO with most if not all tasks done.

Excelente CPU si armas tu PC desde 0.

CPU erfüllt die Ansprüche und voll OK.

استخدمت المعالج Intel Core i7-14700K تقريبًا من 3 إلى 4 شهور مع تجميعة ألعاب قوية، والتجربة كانت ممتازة جدًا. الإيجابيات: • أداء خرافي في الألعاب والتطبيقات الثقيلة، الفريمات ثابتة حتى على أعلى الإعدادات. • يدعم PCIe 5.0 وDDR5، مما يعطي مرونة كبيرة مع القطع الحديثة. • الحرارة تحت التحكم مع مبرد جيد مثل NZXT Kraken Elite 360، ولاحظت ثبات ممتاز في الأداء. السلبيات: • يستهلك طاقة أكثر من بعض المعالجات الأقل قوة، لكنه طبيعي مع هذه الفئة. الخلاصة: معالج ممتاز لأي شخص يبغى أداء عالي سواء للألعاب أو التطبيقات الثقيلة. لو فيه أكثر من 5 نجوم، كنت أعطيه بدون تردد. تقييم 5 نجوم

Worked perfectly, working on it now with my 5070ti

ローカルAIを充実させるべくRTX5080を導入しましたが、CPUがCore i5-13500KのままではCPUがボトルネックになる可能性があるとGemini君がいうのでLGA1700のソケットが使用できるこちらのCPUをチョイスしました。 リテールファンが付属しないため色々とクーラーを調べましたが、皆さんのレビューを見ると簡易水冷を導入したほうが良さそうでしたのでCORSAIRの簡易水冷も同時に導入しました。 オーバークロックしていないせいかCPU温度はそれほど上昇せず安定した状態で使用できそうです。 AI性能は上がりましたがそれはGPUのせいだし、普段の使用ではCPU交換の恩恵を体感することはできませんが、換装前よりなんとなく安定稼働しているような気がします。 このまま5年くらいはこのPCを使い続けたいですね。
