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

Fast but hot. I was able to tame the heat demon by getting a good case - Fractal north xl, and an MSI a13 AIO. I know there is negative feedback out there about this chips integrity but I haven’t had any issues and the warranty period of 5 years should keep me in the clear.

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

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.

Processor works very well with ID COOLING 360 space AIO. Temps sit at 65 to 75 to 70c while playing warzone and streaming on two platforms at same time. Performance gains are the same but the butter feeling of the processor you can tell how smooth the pc handles task management. If you do choose buy this cpu make sure your motherboard is updated to current bios for 14th gen. Also get yourself a contact frame as well.

Nice Upgrade from 9th and 10th gen machines. Paired it with 96GB of DDR5 CL30, Samsung NVMe drives, 10G Ethernet, Thermalright Contact Frame and a 140mm Thermalright twin tower air cooler. Mild CPU overclock and stock XMP memory profiles that never reaches TMax. Makes building full kernels a breeze and can run virtual machines completely out of a DRAM disk. Doesn't seem to have the thermal issues of the i7-14700K and i9-14900K. Would buy again. Now if the price of DDR5 and GPUs would return sane pricing, I would upgrade it to 192GB of DDR5 CL30 and an RTX 5090.

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.
