Excellent CPU for the price, but somewhat specialized.
Size: 1.0 x 4.6 x 1.9 inches Style: Core™ i9-14900KF Pattern: Processor
I knew going in that this CPU has a reputation for high temperatures, and that there was a famous bug (which was fixed) that damaged or destroyed some 13th and 14th generation processors. Neither of those things has been a problem for me. I updated my motherboard with the latest bios before installing the CPU, that way there was no risk of being affected by the bug. I also went water cooling which has kept my CPU at about 35c under normal use, and 70-80c under heavy load. Performance wise, this thing is a beast, but it's somewhat specialized. It's truly exceptional at multitasking, but "just" excellent at gaming. This makes sense: it has 24 cores, but it doesn't have the cache of something like a 7800x3d (which only has 8 cores). At anything multitasking, this thing is unreal. I sometimes run really intensive programs and then forget that they're running in the background because you can't even tell because the foreground applications are still running at full speed. If what you do is heavily based around multitasking, then there's probably not a better chip that money can buy, but that's a very specialized need. I bought it because I wanted the 24 cores (there's just something cool about having 24 cores) and because my main use case is productivity rather than games, but that's a pretty specialized need. In gaming, this thing actually also excels, but just looking at the benchmarks, it can't quite keep up with something like the 7800x3d. So if your use case is entirely or mainly gaming, you should get the 7800x3d instead. Still, I don't want to downplay this thing's gaming performance, because it does have really excellent gaming performance. It just can't compare to the 7800x3d. So if you use your computer mainly for gaming then this processor might not make sense for you, even though it does do really well in games. During normal household type use (web browsing), this thing is only a bit faster than any old CPU, so again if you mainly game, you're unlikely to notice the speed difference outside of games if you go with a 7800x3d. On the other hand, if what you're doing is mostly heavy productivity, and especially if it involves multitasking and multithreading, then this thing is going to kill the 7800x3d. This CPU normally runs in the 5-6ghz range. It downclocks to 1ghz when not in heavy use, but its regular state when you're actively using it is 5-6ghz, which is frankly pretty impressive. It's not joking about that 6ghz stuff. Sure, you might not hit exactly 6ghz that often, but you will run at 5.6ghz+ all the time. CPU cooling and power usage requirements are somewhat exaggerated. I use AIO, and I've never seen it go above 70-80c. Granted, I've seen many benchmarks where it goes above that, but for me personally, 99% of the time my CPU idles at 35c, with spikes up to maybe 50c under regular load. I have to be doing something intensive to get it up into the 70-80 range. I am using AIO, so you might experience something different if you use an air cooler. I haven't encountered any stability issues at all with this chip. Just the opposite, it seems to work great. I even waited to post this review to see if any issues cropped up, but nothing has. There are basically no major downsides to this CPU at this point. The nicest thing about this chip is actually something small: everything is just a bit faster. Everything. Even though each small action might only be a bit faster, the fact that they're all faster adds up to a weirdly much smoother and nicer experience across everything I do. Even using webpages or typing out text is just a little snappier, and it just feels nice every time. The little things matter, they can add up. Sure, it's not mindblowing, but the fact that simple things like moving around a window or scrolling a webpage is just a little snappier makes everything I do on my computer nicer. This is another place where I think this CPU is going to have an advantage over the 7800x3d: I think it's the 24 cores that are having an impact here. So it really comes down to this: are you going to use 24 cores? Do you want 24 cores? Or, are you mainly going to play video games? If you're going to play video games, get the 7800x3d. If 24 cores and 6ghz sounds cool to you, then get this. ... show more

Running air cooled on DeepCool Assassin IV with ease
Size: 1.0 x 4.6 x 1.9 inches Style: Core™ i9-14900KF Pattern: Processor
So far so good. This CPU is a monster and runs very nicely and boosts to max clocks (6ghz on two cores and 5.7ghz on all cores) unlimited TDP settings but thermally limited at 90c with -60mV offset. I have noticed that it runs a bit cooler than my previous 13900KF, especially when you consider the core to core deltas. I use my PC mostly for gaming and encoding, so as long as you have a great case with plenty of air flow and a top notch cooler, you can easily run it air cooled without issues as it will just throttle itself when it hits whatever thermal maximum you set in the UEFI BIOS. In gaming workloads it never throttles though and stays at 5.7ghz all core boost the entire time with temps in CPU intensive games anywhere from the upper 50s to mid 60s and upper 40s to mid 50s in non CPU intensive games **Update** I have the CPU now at 5.8ghz with HT disabled and a -75mV offset and it's working like a charm and very stable in gaming workloads and encoding (it downclocks when it hits 90c for encoding workloads but for gaming it stays at 5.8ghz), which is amazing since it's on an air cooled setup, though the setup is as optimal as it gets for air cooling! As for temps, they are a little lower than running it at 5.7ghz with HT enabled and a -50mV offset. If I use a -75mV offset with 5.8ghz and HT enabled, my PC crashes. So disabling HT definitely enables the CPU to use less power. If you're predominantly using your machine for gaming, then I definitely recommend turning HT off regardless as most games tend to run better with HT disabled. But if you're using it for productivity or a blend of both productivity and gaming, then definitely turn HT on. The only mildly disappointing thing for me is that the memory controller isn't as good as I thought it would be. Mine runs 48GB DDR5 7400 CL34 at 1.35V on the IMC, but to hit DDR5 7600 CL36 with stability I need to increase the IMC voltage to 1.41V which just isn't worth it if you ask me for such a minor bump in performance. My previous 13900KF could do 48GB DDR5 7800 at 1.36V on the IMC. Core wise though, the CPU is definitely superior to 13th gen. ... show more

*screen shots also attached* I bought this i9-14900KF expecting a high-end gaming CPU and instead got months of instability, random crashes, and endless troubleshooting. From early on, this system became a complete headache. I dealt with multiple different BSODs and hard crashes including HYPERVISOR_ERROR, KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY, PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA, SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION, MEMORY_MANAGEMENT, and KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE. Sometimes it would blue screen while gaming, sometimes while alt-tabbing, sometimes while shutting down, and sometimes while the PC was just sitting idle doing nothing. I even had random restarts with no blue screen at all. The worst part is how much troubleshooting I had to do just to get this thing to behave, and even then it never felt truly trustworthy. I updated the BIOS, messed with XMP on and off, ran the RAM at stock 4800 instead of its rated speed, reinstalled GPU drivers with DDU, checked Event Viewer, ran system file repairs, did Windows troubleshooting, rolled back updates, restored the system, and spent countless hours testing gaming, idling, rebooting, and trying to isolate the issue. I changed settings that should not have to be touched on a premium CPU/platform just to try to get basic stability. And after all of that? No clear fix. At best, I’d get a short period where it seemed stable, then the random crashing would come back again. That’s not acceptable for a CPU at this price point. I shouldn’t have to babysit voltages, disable features, avoid XMP, fear alt-tabbing, or wonder whether my PC is going to restart itself after a game. For context, this wasn’t some junk build either. Good motherboard, quality PSU, 360 AIO, decent DDR5, RTX 4070, updated BIOS, clean driver installs — the kind of setup that should be more than enough for a stable experience. Instead, this CPU/platform has been the single most frustrating PC component I’ve ever owned. If you want to spend your time actually gaming instead of digging through crash dumps, BIOS settings, Windows repair tools, and forum posts trying to figure out why your expensive system can’t stay stable, I would avoid this CPU. ... show more

Use a 240 mm AIO and you won't have heating issues it'll run cool even overclocked you don't even need a 360 mm, 240s just fine. Stability overclocked is Rock Solid I haven't had any issues whatsoever it's just a stable running system. The value for your dollar here is superb you're getting an incredibly high performance gaming processor that overclocked provides incredible performance without insane Heat you literally can't ask for a better gaming processor for the money 240 FPS locked at end game on fortnite competitive is no problem it'll do that without overclocking straight out the box it will give you that level of performance and when you want a really ramp up the performance get into overclocking and this processor will blow your mind. Dollar for dollar this is the best processor you can buy for processor based games you get tremendous performance for a very very good price and again with heat levels that don't require you to spend $300 on a AIO. A $60 decent quality 240 mm AIO will keep your temps perfectly stable and cool even overclocked to the max just make sure you have a good quality power supply that's giving a nice stable voltage and current supply and this processor will give you all the performance you need straight out the package and if you overclock it it'll give you more performance than you need. Intel absolutely hit a grand slam with this processor I can't speak about it's performance to price highly enough. ... show more

Absurd performance — this CPU is an absolute monster
Size: 1.0 x 4.6 x 1.9 inches Style: Core™ i9-14900KF Pattern: Processor
This processor is ridiculous in the best possible way. The Intel i9-14900KF is flat-out the fastest CPU I’ve ever owned, and the performance jump was immediately obvious the moment I powered the system on. Gaming, multitasking, heavy workloads — it doesn’t flinch. Frame rates skyrocketed, load times vanished, and everything just feels instant. Even with demanding games and background tasks running, it stays smooth and responsive. Yes, it pulls serious power and yes, it deserves proper cooling — but if you’re buying a flagship CPU, you already know that. Paired with a good cooler and solid power delivery, this thing absolutely screams. This is not a “value” CPU. It’s a no-compromise CPU. You buy it because you want the best performance Intel offers right now, and it delivers exactly that. If you’re building a high-end system and want maximum performance with zero bottlenecks, this processor is unreal. Easily one of the most impressive upgrades I’ve ever made. Would buy again without hesitation. ... show more

Ordered the processor at a discount. The 7800x3d was out of stock, then I got upset about the hasty purchase. Heard everywhere that the 14900k overheats and is not worth it. It may not be the best processor on the market. But in 360mm water cooled games the temp didn't get above 40 degrees. Been using it for about a month now and am happy with it. True, you may have problems with some games because of the number of cores. For example, in The Witcher 2 I had to manually disable one core to make the game run. Otherwise, I am satisfied with the product. ... show more

How the Raptor lake was unstable from the start!
Size: 1.0 x 4.6 x 1.9 inches Style: Core™ i9-14900KF Pattern: Processor
Except from Dear Intel Customer Support. You already got the CPU back. You said you were sending it for test’s. Anyway you said the other option to get a complete refund was to pay something like a $25.00 fee. I don’t want a replacement now. Inform me how to pay that fee as brisk and fast as I can to get a complete refund. And do not send me another Raptor Lake. I never want to see another Raptor Lake. You said you wanted photograph’s of thermal paste. I sent you picture’s. You then said it was “all pin’s and dial’s” and that meant the CPU was not installed correct. The CPU was installed exact how the instruction’s said. The notch went in the exact corner the Intel instruction guide said for it to go. I informed you that the current BIOS for the motherboard was installed immediate at first power up. And the software from intel to fix the “Vmin Shift Instability.” In installed the current 0x129 fix from Intel. I also changed the power setting in window’s to the most power saving mode possible. Nothing helped because the Raptor Lake that was sold to me just self kaput on it’s own. The “Vmin Shift Instability.” Was not on the box or any of the advertisement’s when I bought it. That made me to believe I was going to get a working product for my money when I bought it from Intel’s vendor. I did not get a working product from Intel. And you only some Raptor Lake’s have problem’s. That’s not everybody on earth is saying. They all say all of your CPU’s are kaput for Raptor Lake. I now choose to just get my complete refund back from you. Inform me how to get my money back in full as fast as possible from Intel please. If I get a replacement Raptor Lake, it’s just going to have the same problem’s. And the 12 generation’s Intel CPU’s are more stable than Raptor Lake. But why buy that old thing. When I can get an AMD CPU by just buying a AMD motherboard. And never buying another motherboard or CPU that is Intel compatible. I informed you that the thermal paste dropped in the area where the CPU goes after it was removed by your direction. And had the CPU not been faulty when it was sold me. The Cooler head would not have had to been removed and there would have been no thermal paste dropped in the dial’s and pin’s. I tried to help Intel out by informing you the 12 year old Intel CPU did not have the insertion point vanishing problem. The raptor lake over heated in an hour like in informed you. And then when it cooled off. It started vanishing the insertion point. And it starting down everything in Window’s down very fast. Until it just would not start anymore. So like nothing your best CPU just was not stable. And since you lied and said I installed in wrong. I don’t want to help Intel out anymore. You sent me this email as the most recent email from you. It say’s the “SWR case” is canceled. But you already know that you got the faulty CPU I was sold sent back to you. And you also already have the faulty CPU back in your possession. Conclusion and summary. Please inform me how to pay the price. As fast as I can. To get my complete refund paid back to me fast as I can. Inform me how to get you any information you need to get my money back to me as fast as you can get it back to me. And cancel the replacement of the CPU option. Do not send me back the faulty CPU. I want my money back instead. Thank you if you can comply with my demand’s. ... show more
