Is it really necessary? 14700k only 0-2% faster in most games 😂
No necessary but actually max is 3% but for me is free. So I don't mind, anyone on my position would do it for free. 🤗🙏🏻

If hes going from a 13700 (non-K) to a 14700K he'll get the following:

+ Memory overclocking
+ 4 e cores
+ 400MHz boost
+ Cache

Memory overclocking is a big one because SA and other voltages are locked on the non-K so you cant really OC anything. It'll be a slight bump in games and better in multi-thread apps. If anything if he wants to keep it stock just mess with undervolting, cpu lite load and/or LLC etc... and get them toasty temps down. Smilie

New to gaming PC's. How does this compare to this deal? Also, the tech mentioned that the AMD in the below deal has the latest socket. Is that the same for this since it's the 1400 series?

I am currently on GTX 1070 and i5-4690K... My PC tower is inside desk and the air that comes out form the top (it has 2 intake one behind and one huge on top) makes drawer really warm-to-hot during intense loads.

This CPU consumes many times more power! Supposedly mine only draws 52. How hot is my desk/room will become with this upgrade? Do people joke about space heater or Intel 12-14th gens are really that hot?

Anyone else receive an email from MicroCenter this morning with a subject indicating this 14700K combo price is $449 despite the image advertisement in the body of the email as well as the listing on the website reflecting a price of $499 as shown in the deal? I did. Suspect either the subject was a typo or they sent the email earlier than anticipated (oopsie). Given how MC does BF in the past, and their erratic website pricing behaviors in the past couple weeks, suspect the latter. Time will tell.
It was, briefly, $449 a couple weeks ago, so it likely will be again soon - maybe for BF.

Dang, got a 12900k combo sitting on my desk ready to build tonight. Granted that $100 for 4 more E cores and a 6% increase in single thread performance. Probably still relatively comparable deals. Was hoping they would just knock another $25-50 off the 12900K combo.

Edit: I guess some L2 as well...
i9-12900k is still a great value at the combo prices we have been seeing recently. I paid $205 for mine in August and I don't regret it at all.

Mother fker. i just upgraded my RAM and spent $160 on it. Might return it and upgrade to this instead from 8700k. RAM currently at 64GB since I upgraded but I guess I'll be okay with 32GB.
If I were you return those and if you sell what you currently have for 100-150 easy easy you are upgrading for almost nothing.

I was looking exactly into undervolting to see if temps really goes down, currently my setup is 30-38 idle and 75c-80 heavy loaded either with autocad 3x max while rendering or while running Warzone with 180fps.

Then I started seeing a lot of people saying it was almost the same as I have so I didn't do it. Any suggestion?

Yea. Returning the RAM and buying this deal. I need 64 GB RAM so I might get the 14900 bundle instead

I did too. I initially thought it was a price mistake like they've done in the past, but even after adding to cart it stayed 499. I think it's a typo and these are the BF deals, but I could be wrong.

Doesn't this thing burn through watts much higher than pretty much the equivalent 13700k? The 13700k is a better run chip, but the mobo on this bundle seems to be better than the one on the 13700k bundle at the same price.

If I undervolt to around the same tdp as 13700k, will it run about the same speed?

I currently am running a MSI Z370 + i7 8700k and planning on upgrading to this. Does anyone know if my CPU AIO will fit this motherboard or will I need a new bracket or new AIO? ideally would love it if it fits and I don't have to upgrade that. I forgot the brand of it… have to look it up but trying to see if I can get a quick verification.

With a cooler like a 360 AIO it'll keep the temps down but even with premium air cooler it'll run fine just as is but if pushed say heavyload like you said then it may hit 100C for lower coolers.

You may be able to squeeze 10C-20C with further tweaking. There are several videos online but the easiest would be CPU Lite Load on MSI boards. In the advanced cpu menu by default it should be around Mode 9. Even as simple as going to Mode 5 will be pretty good in temps like maybe 5-10C difference, going to Mode 3 even more. Mode 2-1 will be tricky as you may reach lack of power instability. So its a bit of testing for stability but you would shave off a bunch already and not messing with anything else.

I would disable Enhanced Turbo which is MSI's equivalent to Asus's Multicore Enhancement. If you're not having thermal issues then it'll probably be fine, if you're hitting hot temps then I'd leave this disable and manually oc my own settings. This is just presets to maxing all cores to a certain frequency and giving it a preset voltage.

The one that takes the most time and a lot of tweaking is probably undervolting, setting a - offset voltage and testing each setting along with finalizing with LLC levels. Some people just leave it at just the -offset values and call it a day, usually even a 0.025 or 0.050 will make a difference.

So overall from least effort to more time would be:
1. Disable Enhanced Turbo if your cooler cant handle it

2. MSI's CPU Lite Load (Default Mode 9, try for Mode 5, 3, even 1?)

3. Undervolt -voltage offsets, and LLC levels.
