I was previously running a Core i3-14100, which didn't quite cut it for my server needs. So, I upgraded to this Core i5-14600K, and what a difference it's made! Firstly, the power when needed is incredible - this CPU is a beast when you put it under load. I've got some demanding applications running on my server, and this chip just cruises through them with ease. The 3.50 GHz clock speed is more than sufficient for most tasks, and the performance boost has been noticeable. What I was worried about initially was the power consumption, but surprisingly, it's not as bad as I thought. The CPU idles at a very low 40W or so, which is great for keeping my server's energy bills in check. And when under load, it does indeed spike up to around 200W, but that's still not terrible considering the performance you get. Overall, I'd say this Core i5-14600K has been a fantastic upgrade for me - it's given my server a much-needed boost and hasn't increased power consumption too much. If you're in the market for a powerful CPU that can handle demanding tasks with ease, I'd definitely recommend giving this one a look. Read more

Performance is ok. I am cooling this with a pretty good water cooler and still it is running very hot when used much. So I had to "undervoltage" set it. Also you need to see to that you update mb. bios since there as been a over voltage problem with these chips so they can deuterate faster than normal. Read more

Très bon processeur mais chauffe donc je recommande un watercooling en 360. Read more

I had a second PC running Linux with an i7 12700K, as it provides integrated graphics I didnt need a discrete GPU, and as its unlocked I expected to be able to get a lot out of it. I run heavy multi processs workloads, and so I installed the 12700 and it worked as expected for the first few hours. But, after a few hours the PC would reboot or shutdown due to the CPU hitting 100 degrees and thermal protection kicking in. After a week or so of messing around in the BIOS I did manage to finally get the CPU to be stable. Then I realised on Amazon that Intel CPUs were dropping in price so I bit the bullet and purchased the i9, and I am very glad I did. The i9 CPU stays 20-30 degrees cooler than the 12700k, and sits at 70o hen running very heavy workloads (using all cores at 80-100%), it will chomp away for 24 hours in this state. I haven't had to change any BIOS settings to get it stable, although obviously buying a K processor means I will start tinkering with it soon enough. All this is to say that the processing is 30% more performant with my use cases, and the CPU runs 30 degrees cooler. I am extremely happy I bought this, and now the Intel stability issues are resolved (BIOS firmware causing excess voltage) I would recommend this chip to everyone who wants a hevy workload CPU. I do also have a AMD 7950x in another machine and I dont see much performance differrence between them. If anything, the Intel chip boots to OS 10 times faster than the AMD, and it also supports more PCIe Gen 5 lanes, so if I was to choose I would get the Intel. Read more

Works well. A lot faster than my previous cpu. I would recommend cooling it with an AIO liquid cooling and not a traditional fan. Read more

I had to return it back the moment I saw on the box manufactured in Isræl…getting AMD instead Read more

I dont know how to think about this information Read more

I will test later. Send me invoice, please. Read more

(if you are seeing this review and you did not buy it yet) plss don't buy the 14gen CPU Read more

Core i7 14700k I was afraid the item to be made in Israel which willl leave me to return But my core came made in US and assembled in Veitnam Recommend to buy from the same seller Read more

Image is wrong on the ad. Actual device is core 15 14th gen 14600kf. Blazing performance. Threw everything I could and still doesn't slow down. Does not get too hot while multitasking or gaming. Though if you can afford a few hundred dirhams more, better go for the i7 variant. All in all not disappointed. Read more

I upgraded from i7 4790K to i7 14700KF in my new build and the difference in power is enormous. Read more
