    Bio does not like running this at the its stated speed, so at the moment not good value for money, will see if bios’ will improve to a point when it can be used at the advertised speed!
    I am on my third Bios upgrade and still having problems, but much better than my K9900

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThis is an amazing chip, good overclocking and performance, that is if Intel and motherboard manufacturers don’t kill it with the bad microcode. But I have been running my one since day one as sensible voltages and clock speed with no issues at all. It’s a good chip just treat it well.

    There is no doubt this is a very powerful processor. But beware, even using standard settings (not overclocking) even while completing basic tasks, I initially struggled to maintain the temperature within sensible limits. I had purchased an Artic cooler for 25 but it was totally inadequate. In the end I fitted a Noctua NH-D9L, Premium CPU Cooler with NF-A9 92mm Fan (50) and now the its fine (although rather more noisy than I would have liked). Having read numerous reports online this seems a common problem.

    Ero indeciso per la costruzione della mia prima build, non da gaming premetto, tra questo modello ed il 13700K.
    Per la decisone stata determinante la scelta della scheda madre, ossia, non volendo spendere una fortuna per una Z790 Asus ProArt, perch la mia bull si basa su un progetto interamente ProArt.
    Leggendo che l’i7 della 14a gen oltre a consumare molto aveva anche problemi di riscaldamento, mi sono soffermato sulla generazione precedente.
    Vengo da un i7 7700T, che non mi ha mai dato problemi, ed ancora oggi riusciva egregiamente a fare il lavoro richiesto.
    Mi sono visto un video interessante in rete sul confronto tra l’i7 13700 e l’i7 13700K, ho potuto cosi collegare quanto riportato da questo video, con la bella recensione fatta da un utente qui che aveva inizialmente scelto la serie K per poi passare alla serie non K.
    In sostanza, questo processore riesce a battere la versione non K nei lavori dove si sfrutta la GPU dello stesso processore.
    Ad esempio per applicazioni di foto editing pi performante la serie K, mentre per i rendering pi performante la serie non K.
    Pertanto, la scelta nel mio caso stata semplice visto che non volevo andare su una Z790 e visto che volevo andare su un dissipatore ad aria (ho scelto il DeepCool Assassins 4).
    Poi ho avuto la fortuna di prendere una versione “usato come nuovo”, dove a parte la scatola danneggiata non c’erano altri segni di usura, compreso il dissipatore in dotazione.
    Il dissipatore in dotazione viene gi fornito con la pasta termica inserita, e senza opportuna protezione (orribile), per cui se fosse stato usato si sarebbe vista la pasta termica deformata (era intatta).
    Ovviamente, non l’ho usato.
    Per essere certi che il processore fosse OK, ho scaricato direttamente il programma Intel per la verifica hardware dei processori, lanciato il programma ho visto che era ok e non ha segnalato alcuna anomalia.
    Al momento mi ritengo soddisfatto della scelta, non l’ho usato per chiss che cosa.
    Non appena lo utilizzer in maniera continuativa, e massiccia, con programmi cad, gis e quant’altro aggiorner la recensione.
    Per il momento mi sento di consigliarlo a chi sta cercando buone prestazioni e stabilit per una build da lavoro.

    partendo dai difetti, posso dire che scalda molto.
    ora passiamo alle promesse che mantiene, le prestazioni sono ottime, e i benchmark che potete trovare su internet vengono confermati se provate a far girare lo stesso programma di test. A patto di riuscire a tenerlo sui 80 gradi massimi, il suo lavoro lo fa e non perde un colpo.

    inoltre mi sento di consigliare il venditore in questione, che mi venuto incontro con la scelta del corriere, e impacchettando in modo adeguato un componente tanto fragile quanto importante.

    Golden Review Award: 19 From Our UsersFirstly, I have purchased this CPU with my own hard-earned money so, this is a genuine Review and not one that has been er, cough, cough, otherwise encouraged.

    For any self-build PC, that is also intended to do some useful work for its living, then there are just three requirements that matter, namely:

    Stability, Stability and Stability.

    If that’s what you need, then this is probably the CPU for you. It was certainly the CPU for me, as I am building a machine for a purpose, and that is not to play Games, nor engage in pointless contests to extract the momentary best peak performance before calling the Fire Brigade, just after all the street lights outside have gone dim because the PC is drawing so much power!

    The Intel i9 14900 has the potential to be the rock steady Eddie of the i9 14th Generation line-up, simply because it is NOT designed to be Overclocked. The CPU multiplier has been locked, which limits that potential.

    Great, that is exactly what I wanted, so I was delighted when INTEL launched this one at the start of this year (2024).

    The Thermal Design Power (“TDP”) is also just 65 Watts, so this CPU should run considerably cooler than the alternatives that can be overclocked, that all seem to operate at 125 Watts or more when under the same comparative load. Basically, the TDP is the amount of heat the CPU is expected to output when under a set load. Intel also refer to this as the Processor Base Power.

    Unlike most, if not all, of the others in the i9 range, this CPU has the INTEL UHD Graphics 770 Integrated Graphics Solution which means that, provided your MotherBoard has the necessary video out Ports, you will generate a display even without a primary video card being fitted. This also provides a very useful fall back should the main video card (AKA Graphics Processing Unit or “GPU”) play up.

    In turn, having video on the CPU, can also be very handy and useful when troubleshooting problems with the main GPU, or when testing generally.

    I’ve gone for the ASUS ProArt Z790 Creator MotherBoard, which seemed to be the best option for the work I have in mind for the PC I am building (Design, 3D, Animation, Video and general creativity in both RGB and CMYK colour spaces). That board has many non-Gaming useful extras such as Thunderbolt, and both 2.5 Gigabit 10 Gigabit RJ45 network ports.

    Before buying, I could not tell if this CPU came with a Thermal Solution (AKA a CPU Cooler). I can now confirm that it does, as shown in the images. I have already gone for a water cooled AIO, but at least I also now have a back up CPU cooler, should that ever be needed.

    I’ve also gone for a matched set of 128GB Kingston Fury DDR 5 5600 MHz RAM, which comes as 4x 32GB Sticks.

    Before Ordering, I treble checked both the INTEL and ASUS Hardware Compatibility Lists, and the options for 128GB of RAM was, in fact, quite limited no matter which ASUS MotherBoard I went for.

    I can also confirm that the CPU has a THREE YEAR WARRANTY from INTEL, starting from purchase, or from the purchase of a commercially pre-built PC with this CPU in it. I have added an image of the INTEL Terms that came in the box as confirmation.

    The INTEL i9 14900 runs at 2000 GHz by default, which is automatically boosted up to 5800 GHz if the workload requires it. Again, this is what I wanted, a low tick over that can be accelerated when needed.

    I went for a Corsair iCUE 5000X Case, and Corsair 1200 SHIFT PSU, because that has the connections on the side, which should allow me to use the two Hard Drive bays that are just in front of the PSU in that Case (so in the middle bottom visually). I gather the usual PSUs with connections inboard, can interfere with the Hard Drive bays, as the cables clash with the Hard Drive bay. This may be useful to know.

    Lastly, I’ve also gone for a Thermal Grizzly CPU Mounting or Contact Frame, so will not be using the usual spring loaded CPU Clip on the MotherBoard, which I will remove. This option should provide even pressure and so avoid any potential problems with bending of the CPU when fitted. That Contact Frame is also said to aid cooling.

    I have also included an image of the Box when I was having dinner, as that was when Amazon delivered it, which may give you an idea of size, and specifically the size of the included Cooler. I may add the dimensions later, just for reference.

    I’m not anticipating any snags but, I may update this Review if anything of interest comes to light over the coming weeks.

    I hope this helps to decide if this CPU is for you. There are faster alternatives but, if reliability is paramount, then this CPU looks to be a pretty safe bet.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Intel® Core™ i9-14900 Review - perhaps the ideal i9 CPU if a stable System is essential!

    Golden Review Award: 7 From Our UsersFirst Point: – Update Motherboard BIOS to be compatible with 14th Intel Cores, otherwise most motherboards will not recognise the CPU. This is a simple process and there are plenty of intuitive tutorials on YouTube.

    The 14700KF has provided me unmatched and consistent perfect performance since the moment it was installed. Finally freeing my 80 series NVIDIA GPU from being CPU bottlenecked, it is outstanding value for high end gamers, allowing me to play in 4K Ultra + Raytracing consistently excellent FPS, while effortlessly and simultaneously running 30 Microsoft Edge processes in the background using 2GB of RAM.
    It has the speed to handle DDR5 RAM in a manner that drastically improves performance of my game, especially when
    my GPU uses virtual memory (RAM used when GPU VRAM is exhausted), which makes older RTX cards like the 2080 Ti more equipped to handle Ultra 4k with Ray Tracing and DLSS.
    Thermal resilience is astonishingly impressive too. When first installed, an incomplete cooler wire connection in my setup rendered the CPU barely cooled for an hour as it reinstalled Windows, heating up unmoving coolant in my AIO setup. When it did eventually reach dangerous temperatures, it turned off automatically, then again immediately when I – confused – turned it back on again for a moment. Despite being uncooled for so long and eventually reaching 95+ degrees, the CPU was totally undamaged, passing multiple full-detail stress assessments perfectly as if it had just been turned on a moment ago.

    Able to handle 4K Gaming, any number of traditionally demanding normal-use tasks, background tasks and large database VBA passive macros while manipulating loads of data and references, SIMULTANEOUSLY and EFFORTLESSLY, while exhibiting extraordinary thermal resistant properties at a very reasonable price. Definitely recommend.

    Golden Review Award: 8 From Our UsersI was in 2 minds whether to get this or the i9 14900k..

    Seeing at the small increase in performance between the 2 I stuck with the i7 14700kf

    Not a bad price too at 380 at the time of purchase.

    Cant fault this processor. Performs great along with my RTX 4800 so I now have super smooth games at 2k at ultra settings.

    So many cores. 20 In total obviously 8 cores are the performance cores. with the other 12 being efficient cores. So makes a huge difference with video editing and intensive apps that utilise cores and multi threading

    Big power draw at 250w.. wow ! but to be expected as the amount of power these CPUs are capable of.

    I purchased the KF version as i have no need for any onboard graphics the intel integrated GPU on the K version is so weak anyway just not worth the extra cash for it.

    I had to update my bios as the processor would not even boot. So remember this before getting rid of your old 13th Gen processor, you require the latest bios for 14th Gen

    Very happy with purchase. My temps are 32c when idle (room temp is 22c) and 90c at max chuff (I have a corsair water cooler setup – that kept my 13700k at 75c when at max chuff)

    Power draw was around 270w for my pc when stress testing on CPUZ and at idle speeds when web browsing and light usage power was around 40w

    Would highly recommend

    Pros
    Fast
    * Great Value For Money
    * Reliable
    * boxed retail version

    Cons
    * Large power consumption
    * Runs HOT at full power
    * No Onboard GPU
    * Expensive for some
    * requires latest bios

    Tutto ok, potente, unica nota di demerito a intel la pasta termica del dissipatore stock senza una protezione…
    Ma di solito si usa un dissipatore custom per questi livelli, per fortuna.

    P.S. evitate shop come Albaele

    Ottimo processore

    If you’re not in need of the overclocked K model, or the raw power of the 13th Gen i9, this processor will have you covered for almost anything and not even struggle doing it. I specifically use a lot of emulators, and emulators for newer systems such as yuzu and especially RPCS3 rely heavily on the power of your processor. This thing has handled everything I’ve thrown at it, even more demanding emulated PS3 titles such as Persona 5.

    Indeciso fino all’ultimo tra I7-13700K e I7-13700. Alla fine ho optato per quest’ultimo e spiego le motivazioni di seguito.
    Pagato una trentina di euro in meno rispetto alla versione K (overcloccabile). Al di la di questo, non essendo interessato a smanettare per l’overclocking, ho risparmiato conseguentemente un 60ina di anche anche sulla scelta della scheda madre. Anzich comprarne una della serie Z, ho scelto di abbinare questa CPU ad un’ottima (imho) ASUS TUF Gaming B760-PLUS WIFI.
    Segnalo infine che, a parit di hardware, ho avuto la possibilit di testare con Cinebench R23 entrambi i processori I7-13700 e I7-13700K (alla frequenza stock).
    Di seguito i risultati emersi dopo numerosi test ripetuti:
    13700K: circa 27.500 punti con MultiCore Enhancement (MCE) spento.
    13700K: circa 28.000 punti con MultiCore Enhancement (MCE) sbloccato.
    13700: circa 24.000 punti con MultiCore Enhancement (MCE) spento.
    13700: circa 28.500 punti con MultiCore Enhancement (MCE) sbloccato <-- Pi del 13700K! Per qualche strano motivo (che ignoro tuttora), l'attivazione da BIOS del multicore enhancement (tra l'altro bloccato a 90, ma si potrebbe sbloccare completamente, guadagnando altri 500-1.000 punti) non genera quasi nessun miglioramento sulla versione K. Al contrario sulla versione "non K" il miglioramento significativo, andando addirittura ad equiparare e superare leggermente la controparte K. Configurazione: Windows 10 Pro Intel core I7-13700 & Intel core I7-13700K ASUS TUF RTX 3070 Ti ASUS TUF Gaming B760-PLUS WiFi 32GB RAM DDR5 5600Mhz 512GB Samsung SSD 860 EVO Sharkoon WPM Gold Zero 750W

    Super soddisfatto, secondo me il miglior rapporto qualità/prezzo

    Golden Review Award: 11 From Our UsersI installed this CPU a month or so ago now, alongside 64gb RAM, on an ASUS TUF Gaming Motherboard.

    The TLDR; It’s lightening quick, and It’s super easy to install. As with all CPU’s care should be taken when installing and handling the CPU, but other than that it’s relatively straight forward.

    All I have to say, is this CPU is a beast. Like its so overkill for the average user. In for gaming it is just overkill. It is the perfect CPU for me, but also for those who do intensive work loads, such as running running large data models for AI purposes.

    My particular use case for this CPU was to allow me to build a virtual lab to which I could analyse malware in an virtual sandbox, whilst also emulating real world hacking attacks. At present I am able to run several virtual machines with no performance issues. As you can probably imagine, this power hungry beast can get warm, but with an adequate cooling solution, there should be no issues in keeping the PC nice and cool. I have paired this CPU with an AIO, and also additional fans for the case to ensure there is a lot of air flow to ensure that the thermals are a good temperature.

    My advice to anybody purchasing this CPU – go for it – it’s well worth the investment, while at the same time you’ll be future proofing your soon to be BEAST of a machine for the next 10 years.
