Intel® Core™ i5-14600KF New Gaming Desktop Processor 14 cores (6 P-cores + 8 E-cores) - Unlocked

Excellent

Just upgraded from i5 9400f to i9 14900k and super happy with the performance that I am able to achieve. It simply works buttery smooth. Large applications open like notepad apps.It heats a lot though so I went with MSI coreliquid liquid cooling solution.If looking to upgrade from 13th gen then save money because the performance is identical, however if setting up new PC then definitely go with it.My setup -MSI MPG z790 carbon wifiIntel i9 14900kMSI RTX 4070tiMSI MAG coreliquid liquid coolerSamsung 980 Pro - 1 TBRipjaws 32gb ddr5Bonus tip: If u are struck setting up ur PC then go to MSI support and they are super responsive to assist you. I got my wiring fixed in matter of minutes ona video call by their assistant.

Product is used and damaged from both sidesFrom front side scratches and rust found.And from back side middle pin broken.It seems to be used and burned by some one

Motherboard (Gigabyte z790 ud ac) not detecting cpuThe packaging was worst..Go to store instead, test it and buy it.Don't buy!

I don't liked the price of it .I Also don't liked the performance of it .Rather you can purchase i9 13th generation

13 gen is better with same performence at low pricing. Avoid this product cause it have only 2 core touching 6000 mhz so in real life there are no difference.

Beast gaming world 2nd most powerful processor my set up has this processer and RTX 4070 16gb ram 2048gb(2tb) nvme m.2 ssd 850 watts pls buy it

What's the meaning of having a new chip when it provides no generational uplift except only thing that is better than last gen is the hefty power consumption if ur fine with that this will work fine but I think ur electricity bill is gonna sky rocket 3 to 5 % uplift for 15 % more money is not worth it rather buy 13 or 12 gen with some ddr5 ram will help you more or else get r7 7700 will provide less like 10 percent for 50 percentage less power draw ryzen is just better when it comes to desktop processor in efficiency and value for money

Este es un buen procesador para productividad llamese la actividad que sea y un buen procesador para juegos. Yo lo ocupo mucho para ediciones de video principalmente y juegos. Si te dedicas a la productivad este es un buen procesador para presupuestos ajustados, pero si solo deseas jugar, es mejor irte por un Ryzen 3XD.

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

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.

Not buying a cpu from this seller again wen my order came I opened the box and the cpu was not in the box even tho it still has the factory seal wast of almost 1k bucks

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.
