Intel® Core™ i9-14900K Desktop Processor 24 cores (8 P-cores + 16 E-cores) up to 6.0 GHz

This processor handles everyday tasks and gaming with ease. With 14 cores (6 P-Cores + 8 E-Cores) and speeds up to 5.3 GHz, multitasking is smooth and responsive. It performs well in demanding games and productivity software alike. Thermal management is solid with a good cooler, and overall system stability is impressive. For the price, it’s a fantastic choice for users who want high performance without overspending.

This is perfect get it for gaming it's so fast game capabilitie is perfect no crashes and launches and stays very cool I get above 60 fps on 8k ultra wich is crazy it's the most durable cpu I've used value for money way too cheap it's insane of a beast easy to install literally just plug in play as long dont bend the pins on the motherboard performance is crazy I cant believe how stable it is for how cheap it is I'm not sponsored I've bought it myself totally recommend it

One of the best products I’ve bought for my pc! Super fast and stable for what I’m running. The price is good for the performance you’ll get

Bought it for $200 when it was on sale, one of the best mid-high gaming CPU’s, I would only upgrade if your going to play extreme Minecraft mod packs or high CPU tasks. Better speed than the 12700 and cheaper. If you have a motherboard that supports ddr4 and lga 1700 socket then this is probably one of the meta cpus because of the r shortage

Edit: It is my Asus board. I was getting latency spikes and freezes when acceleration needed to happen in windows. I was also getting severe latency when more than 3 USB devices were plugged into the board. I changed from my Asus z790 D4 Strix to my old trusty z690I Aorus Ultra Plus ddr4 and ALL the issues (other than degradation that already took place) are solved. This is not my first asus board that kills components with terrible vrm regulation. This will be my last Asus board. Shoutout to Intel support. They are amazing to deal with. Literally one phone call, & 20mins later my rma was approved and a crosship approval also issued. Amazing. Seriously. It doesn't make sense that both CPUs (new 13700k and 14900k) would die in literally like 2-3 months and have the same symothoms. It is not just ring that collapsed on the two new 13700k and 14900k. Its the memory controller from my observed behavior. The first 13700k was oxidized which is why the entire chip died. I'll need to get my hands on a ddr5 board to test my theory. I'll make another edit when I do. Original Review: All of them will eventually die, Ring collapse is something ive seen on three 13th-14th chips. First a 13700k, then another, and now a 14900k. The first 13700k ran auto voltages and was delidded. It Ring collapsed due to voltage spikes on the old microcodes (I presume). My second 13700k (also delidded) collapsed for seemingly zero reason. It was ran at below 1.35v on adaptive voltages at all times on a static clock speed. My 14900k (which i left 100% stock with paste on my aio) collapsed on 1.25v set static (vid and vrm), with a voltage protection cap of 1320 in the uefi. 1.25v is core voltage. 1.35vddqtx 1.25v-1.35V (MAX) Vccsa ^ These voltages were ran on all of them. They all died. No matter what you do, they will die. There is something SERIOUSLY wrong with this architecture. My 12900KS had ZERO issues with ring clock stability. I will likely ask for a refund and buy it once more. Ironic how things worked out. Edit: When these CPUs work and are in a board that works properly. It is by FAR, the best experience I've ever had on a desktop. Monolithic architecture is something that you cannot beat. The instant feeling of everything you do. It just works, and it works amazingly. Thats why ive had 3 of them and keep gong back. Nothing else comes close. Specially when you go to windows 10 LTSC Iot with e cores off. Its a different world. Trust me.

My Intel CPU failed in under a year. I never overclocked it. The system was running perfectly one day and completely dead the next. I tried to troubleshoot myself for 5-6 hours, checking connections, removing and testing components, flashing BIOS, everything. No luck. On day 3 I took it to Geek Squad at Best Buy. Cost: $100. The PC was there for 2 days. They called and confirmed the CPU was dead after testing with a known working CPU. At least now I knew the issue. Day 5 - Best Buy Geek Squad calls and confirms the CPU was dead after testing the system with a known working CPU. At least now I knew the issue. I called Intel Support. The number is a +44 UK line even though I live in the U.S. The call quality was awful, and the rep struggled to understand English. She seemed kind, oddly she ends up being the better part of this nightmare experience, but it took over 20 minutes just to get my name, email, and phone number entered correctly. Please, AI wizards, start replacing call centers with something functional. Begin with Intel’s. While on the phone with support, I emailed the Intel support agent i was speaking with photos of the CPU, confirmed serial numbers, proof of purchase, and the full Geek Squad report from Best Buy verifying the CPU was defective and undamaged. You’d think that would be enough for a quick replacement, right? Nope. Here’s how Intel handles support: First, I was told they would send me a special return box that I’m required to pay $25 for, non-refundable, I think she said there was an option to upgrade to a faster delivery service that I could pay more for. just so I can ship their faulty CPU back to them. This has to be done before they even start sending out a replacement. I’m well within the 1-year warranty period, and it’s not exactly a secret that 14th-gen i9 chips have issues. Second, before Intel ships me the new CPU, I have to pay the full price of a replacement CPU upfront “for Intel’s safety (support agent's actual words).” They said it would be refunded sometime after they verify things on their end. Apparently, a Geek Squad diagnosis, serial numbers, and proof of purchase aren’t enough verification for Intel. So realistically, it’s going to take 2–3 days to get the return box, another 1–3 weeks (if I’m lucky) before getting a working CPU back, and a few hundred dollars out of pocket during the process. My money and time, customers money and time for Intel's product failure. Wrapping it up Intel CPU fails within warranty → customer spends hours troubleshooting → pays for a repair shop to confirm defect → pays Intel $25 (or more for faster time frame) to ship the bad unit back → pays again upfront for Intel’s “safety” → waits weeks for a replacement and refund. Is there support from Intel hidden somewhere in this process I can't see? I'm actually involuntarily supporting Intel essentially. So when your latest-gen Intel CPU dies, expect it to cost you around $800 total and a couple weeks of downtime. If I were a company with a high failure rate on a product and wanted to avoid replacing tons of them.. I wonder if i'd try making the process a nightmare and way more costly to the consumer to discourage that to save myself money.

El producto estaba como nuevo, funciona bien, pero se calienta un montón, les pasa a estos procesadores por lo que hice undervolt para mantenerlo a raya

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Perfectly working with RTX 4070 Super

The box arrived in 'used' state, but the chip is tested working, even with some undervolting. Snappy processor that boosts to 5.3 MHz. For the price, it competes well with the competition for gaming and multimedia workload.

It does the job well and never complains. Amazing price €200

CPU (14900K) is packaged differently than visible in the unpacking video (not a sleek silver imitation of a silicon wafer) but in a simple box. Amazon CS wasn’t helpful and wouldn’t replace product or even explain the discrepancy. I have ordered 2 CPUs, both came in simple boxes. Simple boxes (CPUs made in Vietnam) are supposed to be inferior in comparison to „premium” variant made in US, which is quite important considering Intel loose interpretation of stability and longevity of their hardware.
