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.

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.

6 Months after buying this processor, it completely broke, giving blue screens and all sorts of failures indicative of a processor going out. Found out that this is a massive issue intel is working on with these processors, with one business losing over $10,000 due to these being placed in servers and breaking. But that is not what I am upset about. Intel has the worst RMA process that I have ever experienced. I am now on month 2 with contacting them on a nearly daily basis trying to get this replaced. Turns out you need every little piece of information that could ever exist with your processor before they can even "talk to upper management" about your replacement. This is also fun because of course their customer service is "overseas" Not all of this information is clear. I was told to take a picture of the processor so they can verify the information that I already gave them over email. TURNS OUT there is a very very small 5 digit code that unless you know its there, you would miss it. Just that took over a week. Their customer service also doesn't read emails. There was on 3 separate instances I had to call them to tell them that they already have the information they are requesting. Such as I was asked for a receipt. I attached it to the email and responded. Never heard back. The next day I sent a follow up asking for next steps. Their response? Oh we need the receipt.... I also want to mention the actual RMA process. You have to send them the processor (which may take up to a week for them to get), wait, and per their words, "6 to 9 business days" for them to validate what... again... I already gave them in email with photo evidence on the processor itself. THEN they would send the new one which again could take about a week. Even with out the runarounds I was already getting with intel, over 3 weeks to get something RMAed is ridiculous. So far I have lost over $2,500 because of their policies having this computer be down. Oh but wait, there's more! They have an "alternative" RMA process where... and I'm not kidding here... You pay $35 for expedited shipping, AND the full cost of a new processor and then, sure, they will be more than happy with sending you a replacement first cuz *customers can't be trusted, but we can* right? Then you have to take them at their word after you send the bad processor that they will reimburse you for the cost. So you can either lose money with their *expedited* replacement, or you can lose money because your computer is down for 2 months... Neat. The processor itself should have never left QA especially considering all the problems they are having with it. This is why the 1 star, because between the money I lost, Intel's horrible customer service, Horrible RMA process, and time/money lost, I believe it to be justified. Caveat emptor

Great cpu and is a good balance between gaming, office, and high level graphical editing use. Doesn’t get too hot either as long as you have a good cooler and power supply to maximize utilization.

I got a prebuilt pc with this processor, and it was one with the fault that caused the crashes. I had RMA'd it but the update wasn't out and the 2nd one went out as well. I dealt with it and the bios update came out and my warranty had expired through the prebuilt company. So I bought this one. With the bios update, it works perfectly. Went from having to underclock the old one to being able to really overclock this one. Has been smooth and stable since install. Just be super sure your bios are updated with the fix.
