Deal Details
Newegg has a nice sale on the top of the line Raptor Lake. 14900KS. with a free motherboard for $520 shipped.

Enthusiast grade cpu if one wants the best from that generation. Price to performance yes its lower compared to the 14900k, but for overclocking hobbyists who want the best of the LGA 1700 platform a pricey albeit a nice deal.

Sell the board for 140 on ebay if you dont need it making it about $400 after that.

I picked one up to replace a 12700k that goes into a system with 2x360mm custom loop.

Intel Core i9-14900KS - Core i9 14th Gen Raptor Lake 24-Core (8P+16E) Performance-core 3.2 GHz, Efficient-core 2.4 GHz, LGA 1700 150W Intel UHD Graphics 770 Desktop Processor - BX8071514900KS (Retail Box)

This is very hard to consider if you have a MC near by with the 270k+ combo for $630. The silver lining is that you can reuse your DDR4 RAM with the 14900KS. If that's the case, then this will end up as a cheaper build. If you still need to buy RAM, then it will be way more expensive than the 270k+.

Yes I have a 32 gb ddr4 kit and a lga 1700 board, so drop in replacement. For pure overclocking as a hobby this beats the Core Ultra platform with sufficient cooling. For pure efficiencies the Ultra series is better.

Unfortunately, the included motherboard is DDR5-only. Frown

Are the memory slots different? I thought the dual boards have 2x ddr4 slots and 2x dd5 slots?

You're right, I just looked it up. This one only supports DDR5 which makes the deal less desirable with 270k+ so close in price. However there are select Z790 boards that support DDR4.

Yeah I was waiting for a long time on a deal for a 14900k to upgrade from my 12700k but no luck and didn't want to deal with the unreliability.

Went with the 270K+ combo and couldn't be happier. Don't really see any reason to buy this, the motherboard it comes with is DDR5 so this will be a very pricy upgrade if you don't already have DDR5. 14900k is 3 years old, on a dead socket and unreliable, difficult to recommend this for anyone
