Intel® Core™ i7-14700K New Gaming Desktop Processor 20 cores (8 P-cores + 12 E-cores) with Integrated Graphics - Unlocked

Incredible CPU, no complaints. Highly durable, power consumption reasonable. Very stable, easy installation although it’s the same as any other CPU. My thermals have never exceeded 70C, although I have an incredible cooler. The integrated graphics were good to play only the simplest of games, but BIOS and OS setup went very smoothly.

I bought this CPU as an incremental upgrade to my i7-12700k , which will go into another more modest build. I really didn't think the i7-14700k would be significantly faster than the i7-12700k, but in some games there's a 10-15 FPS uplift. I don't know if that's the revised P cores doing the work or if it's the extra E-cores. The IMC on the i7-14700k is noticeably better as well. I can run four sticks of DDR5-5600 M/T at 5400 M/T (with tighter timings) which was a pipe dream with the 12700k (which topped at 4800 M/T with the same four sticks of RAM). With that said, it's going to be easier just to buy a two stick kit with the capacity you need instead of dilly-dallying around the BIOS trying to get four sticks of RAM to play nice on LGA 1700. Now is the upgrade worth it if you already have an Alder Lake i7? Probably not, but I was already putting together another mid-range build for someone else and this was an excuse to upgrade. But overall, I'm impressed. This CPU even holds it own again the newer Ultra 7 265k in gaming but will lose out to the higher end AMD X3D CPUs. The downsides here are that this thing has a massive power draw, and needs a beefy cooling solution. I have a 360mm AIO CPU cooler which cools it down nicely (60C-70C in typical gaming loads, topping out in the low 80's when benchmarking) but realistically, you're going to want at least a quality 240mm AIO or a god-tier air cooler. There's also the issue of the 13th and 14th gen CPUs failing prematurely. I have the latest BIOS for my motherboard that in theory should mitigate that problem, and so far I haven't had any issues at all.

I guess everyone is right, these things are hot and then some. I went with a off brand AIO, and for the most part I'm good. It does get spicy when I'm rendering or doing some crazy multi tasking. Gaming seems fine, no issues. I play all kinds of games, FPS, MMO's, survival, etc. (Paired with a Gigabyte Gaming 4090 OC, Tforce 64 gigs 6000 M/T DDR5, samsung 990 pro NVME 2 tb x2, no OCing done by me.) I replaced a 5950x, which was having issues for some reason, just felt like it was getting slower and slower, thermal paste and heat were fine on it, never got over 60c with the beefier AIO I had on it. Just took longer and longer to render things. I guess I wore it out! I just think you'll want a good AIO, and/or a solid water cooling solution for this to really get the best out of it. I'm not sure a air cooled option will do you any good, but hey I've been wrong many times, so there might be something that can handle the job. All in all, not bad, but it's not going to give you much performance boost over last gen, matter of fact I found out later 13700k beats it in a lot of tests, blargh! Either way, its fast, and it runs everything great, so I'm happy till the next go around.

These 14700K models work better than I had hoped. Gain confidence that your device is incredibly reliable and fast ready for multitasking.

GREAT BY ALL MEANS. Nothing bad about that processor. It will need a liquid cooler for best performance , but it's a top tier processor.

Works perfectly as spectated

Compré el Intel Core i7-14700K y usarlo principalmente en gaming, multitarea pesada y uso general con una RTX 3080 y ram 32 DDR5 6400 CL32. Vengo de un R7 5700X con 40Gb ram DDR4 3200 El salto se nota bastante en fluidez general, multitarea y capacidad bruta. Es un procesador muy potente, con 8 P-Cores y 12 E-Cores, por lo que se siente más como una pequeña workstation gamer que como un CPU común de escritorio. Para juegos a 1440p va sobrado, y en tareas pesadas o con muchas aplicaciones abiertas se nota que tiene mucho margen. Eso sí: no es un procesador que recomendaría dejar totalmente en automático sin revisar la BIOS. En mi caso lo uso en una placa B760, por lo que no puedo exprimir todo su potencial de overclock, pero sí pude dejarlo muy bien ajustado con límites de potencia. Mi configuración estable quedó con PL1 en 190 W, PL2 en 230 W, Tau en 56 segundos y un offset negativo leve de -15 mV. Con eso mantiene muy buen rendimiento, temperaturas más razonables y estabilidad. En Cinebench 2026 obtuve alrededor de 7080–7200 puntos según configuración. Con voltaje automático daba un poco más, pero en mi sistema aparecían algunos glitches visuales ocasionales, así que preferí dejarlo con -15 mV, que fue el punto más equilibrado entre rendimiento, temperatura y estabilidad. También probé 3DMark Steel Nomad con una RTX 3080 y el procesador no fue cuello de botella. La GPU trabajó al 100% y el CPU se mantuvo sobrado, que es justo lo esperado para gaming a 1440p. Puntos positivos: * Rendimiento excelente en juegos y multitarea. * Mucho más margen que CPUs de 8 núcleos tradicionales. * Buen soporte para DDR5 rápida. * Incluye iGPU, útil para diagnóstico, Quick Sync o respaldo. * Muy fuerte para cargas mixtas: juegos, navegador, software en segundo plano, grabación, etc. Puntos negativos: * Consume y calienta bastante si se deja sin límites. * Requiere buena refrigeración. * Conviene revisar BIOS, power limits y voltaje. * En placas B760 funciona bien, pero lo ideal sería una buena Z790 para aprovecharlo mejor. * La caja en que viene el CPU es bastante decepcionante, teniendo en cuenta que es un CPU de gama alta. En resumen: es un CPU excelente, pero no es “instalar y olvidarse” si quieres temperaturas óptimas. Si tienes buena refrigeración y estás dispuesto a ajustar power limits, es una bestia. Para gaming, multitarea y uso avanzado, lo recomiendo totalmente.

Currently have had it for two months with no issues. Time will tell. It’s liquid cooled and haven’t really been stretched to its limits. Pro: It’s fast but with an asterisk. About the same level of performance of the i9 14900K but without the added power use and heat. Con 1: Is prone to crashing and instability. Con 2: E-Cores. Slow and worthless. There is a noticeable performance drop with some applications. Pro Tip: At the time of this review, the manufacturer’s warranty has been extended due to the crashing / instability issues on the 13th and 14th gen processors from 3yrs to 5yrs. Would I buy it again? No, not for me personally.

Excelente CPU si armas tu PC desde 0.

استخدمت المعالج Intel Core i7-14700K تقريبًا من 3 إلى 4 شهور مع تجميعة ألعاب قوية، والتجربة كانت ممتازة جدًا. الإيجابيات: • أداء خرافي في الألعاب والتطبيقات الثقيلة، الفريمات ثابتة حتى على أعلى الإعدادات. • يدعم PCIe 5.0 وDDR5، مما يعطي مرونة كبيرة مع القطع الحديثة. • الحرارة تحت التحكم مع مبرد جيد مثل NZXT Kraken Elite 360، ولاحظت ثبات ممتاز في الأداء. السلبيات: • يستهلك طاقة أكثر من بعض المعالجات الأقل قوة، لكنه طبيعي مع هذه الفئة. الخلاصة: معالج ممتاز لأي شخص يبغى أداء عالي سواء للألعاب أو التطبيقات الثقيلة. لو فيه أكثر من 5 نجوم، كنت أعطيه بدون تردد. تقييم 5 نجوم

Parfait seul point négatif si vous dispose d’une encienne version du bios le processeur n'est pas reconnu il faudrait flashé une cles usb afin d’installer une nouvelle version du bios pour le processeur sois reconnu attention au amateurs avant d’installer le processeur fait fair quelque manipulation pour mon cas je me suis servis de quelque vidéo.

Can game/code/simulate without problems. Doesn't get hotter than 60/70 Celsius with an AIO with most if not all tasks done.

Ho acquistato questa cpu per affiancarla a 32 gb di ram e un ssd nvme e ha delle prestazioni veramente spaventose, per quanto riguarda la produttività esegue rendering e operazioni ad una velocità elevatissima senza scaldare troppo se affiancato ad un buon dissipatore. Sono stati comunque risolti nel corso del tempo i vari problemi di temperature.
