Amazing Single core performance Good idle TDP (30W recorded) Very great boost clocks Very nice prize and performance bump compared to a 12600K


- Fast great for both tp notch production and gaming in a mainstream PC. I have two of these CPUs: one in a December 2018 build in a Lian Li PC-O11 Air under an EK open loop. can get all core 5.0GHz at 1.3V with temps in the mid to high 80 depending on my ambient temps I'm in a hot environment and a hot upstairs room). The second just is a more impressive chip in a February 2019 ITX build in a Cougar QBX, that i managed to install a 280mm AIO (EVGA CLC 280) in. It does 5.0GHz at 1.25V with similar temps as my water cooled BIG PC. More impressively it also benches a bit better than my open loop cooler 9900K desktop.


Fast , installed windows 11. Runs super fast and smoother. Thing that struck me most is how cool it runs. Havent really pushed it in higher end titles yes but gaming seems like it sits around 50 degrees for the most part. 360 rog strix AIO


Runs cool and is easy to overclock. I have the base clocked at 4.5GHz without it breaking a sweat with the Kraken X41 closed loop liquid cooling setup.


- Great performance per dollar - Suits budget and mid-range systems very well




-Locked 5ghz all core at 1.125v? Done - only being 7 points shy of a 5800x in Cinebench -PBO off + 85c TJMax (im on a stock cooler) + auto clock/voltage? 10 points shy of a 5800x -Can be undervolted, or over, while good and bad it has done 99 watts @ 1.25v and 5.2ghz -Apparently a 7600x without the iGPU, either way its the one to go for to start on AM5

This is an amazing CPU, even a decent upgrade from a 5950x (unless you are a gamer). Max single core boost is around 5.9ghz, multi around 5.6ghz which is just phenomenal.


Plays Games fine

- Cheap! (Even before the trade-in), plus I got it right before it sold out, plus plus you get the new Assassins Creed game for free. - Its the 14700k with a 200mhz slower clock, and no iGPU. Youll never need integrated graphics of the K series because, even if your graphics card dies, your PC will be unusable with iGPU except for the most basic operations, and youll just be ordering a replacement card anyway. - Doesnt require AIO (water) cooling


Works as intended, packaged nicely, very clean!
