Intel® Core™ i7-14700K New Gaming Desktop Processor 20 cores (8 P-cores + 12 E-cores) with Integrated Graphics - Unlocked

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.

People hate on this but idc what they say it blows AMD comparable out of the water everyone kept telling me get a 7900x3d so I did and it was okay but this 14700k is no joke. The ryzen sucked for sim racing couldn’t handle a lot of AI the 14700k with all the cores I can run 35-40 cars smoothly high graphics on beam ultra graphics with 18-20 ai cars. It’s truly amazing. YES IT DOES GET HOT. But I upgraded my AIO and now don’t have any issues. Honestly I put it in backwards once when I was redoing some paste had to pry it out bent the pins bent them back and still runs perfectly it’s tough. I don’t seem to have any issues with it I know they said the 14700k had some self deteration issue but this one doesn’t seem to I’ve ran diagnostics every week since I’ve gotten it and it’s still performing at 100 percent . Like I said it does get hot so if you get it DO NOT be cheap with the cooler get something nice. There’s not a single CPU in this price bracket that does close to what this one does it’s an absolute beast

I guess everyone is right, these things are hot and then some. I went with a off brand AIO, and for the most part I'm good. It does get spicy when I'm rendering or doing some crazy multi tasking. Gaming seems fine, no issues. I play all kinds of games, FPS, MMO's, survival, etc. (Paired with a Gigabyte Gaming 4090 OC, Tforce 64 gigs 6000 M/T DDR5, samsung 990 pro NVME 2 tb x2, no OCing done by me.) I replaced a 5950x, which was having issues for some reason, just felt like it was getting slower and slower, thermal paste and heat were fine on it, never got over 60c with the beefier AIO I had on it. Just took longer and longer to render things. I guess I wore it out! I just think you'll want a good AIO, and/or a solid water cooling solution for this to really get the best out of it. I'm not sure a air cooled option will do you any good, but hey I've been wrong many times, so there might be something that can handle the job. All in all, not bad, but it's not going to give you much performance boost over last gen, matter of fact I found out later 13700k beats it in a lot of tests, blargh! Either way, its fast, and it runs everything great, so I'm happy till the next go around.

This is a beast CPU. I have a small PC case (intended for aesthetics purposes), so I can't use 360-420 mm aio. Had to use 240mm Nucleus. It definitely can handle it. Cons: noise. So basically I would advice to cut L1-L2 to at least 125w, or, in my case, 80w. Performance loss in usual workload is not that significant, but the noise/temperature are low. Standby temp ~40c. Has integrated graphics. Very fast & powerful.

I decided the difference between the i7 and the i9 didn't justify the price difference, considering I was already getting about 1/3 more performance than my 12th generation i9. I wanted plenty of motherboard resources so I also bought the MSI MEG Z790 ACE, 32 GB of Kingston Fury 6400MT/s DDR5 and a 2TB Samsung 990 NVMe drive. Cooling had been a slight issue with the 12th generation i9, even with a 360mm AIO cooler, so I went custom loop. Along the way I found a GPU water cooler on sale and decided to install a lot of cooling. The Thermaltake 900 tower can take two 560mm radiators, but I wanted some disks, so I went for a 560x140 and a 280x140, both 45mm thick and backed by 6 fans. Four more fans feed air into the case and there's till plenty of clear space for more air to be dragged in. So what's the result? The processor runs at 85C worst case, and only two cores at that temperature. The fast DDR5 does make a significant difference. I initially ran it at 6GT/s then turned it up to 6.2 and finally 6.4. The last change is a 3.5% change in DDR5 speed and that gave me a 2.4% increase in system speed. I kept my old RTX3070 which used to run over 80C and now runs at 62C worst case. So despite more performance the system runs a lot cooler. I mostly run X-Plane 12, which runs the GPU and CPU very hard, continuously. After several hours the cooling water reached 36C and the worst core temperature was 85C. The processor just works. No stability issues with the standard settings on the MSI Z690 motherboard. There are three standard memory tuning options for 6.0, 6.2, and 6.4 GT/s and all work. This will do for me for a few years.

Great Item to have when you are building your pc!

Running good for now i will update after a year.

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 AIO The 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.

both worked perfect as intended. recommend

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。
