Community Reviews

The 14900K is a fast 24 core Intel chip that still stands out for heavy desktop work, especially if you already have DDR4 memory. BIOS updates appear to have resolved the earlier voltage and instability problems, and updated systems are described as running normally again. It still needs serious cooling, with a 200 watt plus cooler or a 360 millimeter all in one recommended. The main knock is price, since it is seen as expensive for an older, less power efficient CPU, though it remains a strong option in the right build.

Still holding out hope these eventually come down closer to $300. Maybe not anytime soon though

still way overpriced. the i9s always are. The i7 when it was around 300 was the better deal. But I guess it is one of the best DDR4 cpus around if you still have that RAM.

Yes, BIOS updates fixed the weird voltage problems. At least mine has been running great since RMAing it back in summer 2024.

I remember they said the bios update would fix it then a later bios update came out and was like ok we really fixed it now.

I just checked. My board is running the bios version from 9/26/2024 and has had no problems since then. Your concerns have been fixed for over a year and a half.

How? It happened. It got fixed. RMA requests were honored. This is a >2 year old story for this CPU. I'm not saying it'll never happen again for any CPU from any brand. That's always the risk. People seem to have forgotten AMD's issues around the same time. I bought a 14900K instead of a 7950X because AMD's CPUs were setting themselves on fire at that time in some boards. You're either interested in buying a CPU (with a warranty, this is why they exist) or you're not. There is currently nothing wrong with the 14900K other than it's older and less power efficient than more recent generations.

Welp there's your answer. No matter what there's always a risk

Great CPU and toasty.. but bad history

Didn't they have to throttle the performance also just to get the voltage down or something?
