Could have been a good product without the current Intel scandal...
In the end it's a good CPU but too bad and complicated to be considered a Consumer CPU. With no possibility of improvement apart from the I9 14900k which has all the same problems but even more worrying. Finally, in the current state of affairs, I would not recommend this processor to an average consumer.
Pro
- Extremely powerful
- Multitasking
- Compatibility with linux
Contra
- Power hungry
- Crash under load
- Need a really powerful cooler
- Need to upgrade BIOS and μCode or you will get irreversible damages
- Supported chipsets will be discontinued for next gen
Acceptable After BIOS Update: Intel Core i7-14700K
The Intel Core i7-14700K initially faced issues with overvoltage, leading to CPU temperatures reaching up to 100 degrees Celsius, potentially shortening the processor's lifespan and causing stability problems. A BIOS update has since resolved these issues. Unfortunately, Intel did not communicate about the problem, leaving users in the dark and raising concerns about how many might unknowingly have a "time bomb" in their systems. Intel and its cover-up attempts are concerning. NICE!
Pro
- Speed: Excellent performance for gaming and demanding applications.
Contra
- Intel and its cover-up attempts
I am super satisfied
Pro
- Perfectly recognised after BIOS update
- High CPU temperatures due to high clock rates are cooled down quickly
- Plenty of power and close to 13900k
Contra
- little hothead, with speedstep deactivated
Good CPU
Upgrade from 12700K to 14700K
Positively surprised.
Relatively easy to cool, in my case with an Arctic Liquid 2 360
Price performance is very good.
Bought for CHF 399.-Pro
- Single/multicore
- Tact
Contra
- Packaging
- Consumption
Product 10/10 Packaging 3/10
The product itself 10/10 the packaging is another matter for me I would say when I order something from Wish or Aliexpress I expect this kind of packaging and that for 460.- however this is not so important and the CPU itself is highly recommended.
