This bundle pairs Intel's Core i9-14900KS with an Asus Z790 gaming WiFi 7 motherboard for a high-end LGA1700 build that shines in overclocking with strong cooling. The CPU can drop into an existing LGA1700 setup, and reusing DDR4 can keep costs down. The catch is that the included motherboard is DDR5-only, so anyone without DDR5 faces a much pricier build. It also sits on a dead socket, and 14th-gen voltage issues make a BIOS update important. It is best suited to builders who already have the right memory and want maximum performance.

Common Questions (4)

  • The CPU can work with DDR4, but the included Asus Z790 GAMING WIFI7 motherboard is DDR5-only. If you already have a compatible LGA1700 DDR4 board, the CPU can be a drop-in upgrade; if you need to buy the bundled board, you'll need DDR5 instead.

    Kaveman42ikjadoonKaveman42Jaggsta

  • Yes. The bundled Z790 GAMING WIFI7 board supports DDR5 only, so DDR4 users would need a different motherboard model if they want to reuse existing memory.

  • It can be a cheaper upgrade if you can reuse your DDR4 and existing LGA1700 board. If you still need to buy RAM and use the included DDR5-only motherboard, the total cost becomes much less attractive than nearby combo deals.

    Kaveman420vercl0ckpandanubKaveman42

  • Yes, the BIOS should be updated right away. The 14th-gen Intel voltage issue was tied to these CPUs, and the microcode updates are meant to address it.

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 at microcenter 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

Make sure you update your bios ASAP.

14th gen intel cpus killed themselves, because of incorrect voltages... The micro-code updates, supposedly fixed the issues, but I'd personally skip 14th gen entirely... Especially with DDR5 prices.

If you go the flip-the-board route the post suggests, list it as DDR5-only up front since that came up above and it narrows who can actually use it.

LGA 1851 arrowlake CPUs (ultra 200 series) will also be a "dead socket" at the end of this year. The advantage that lga 1700 raptor lake has is that is was around for 3 generations and not 2. But to each their own.

Nope, and this motherboard requires DDR5 unfortunately. There are limited scenarios where this makes sense, but if you have a Micro Center near by there are much better combos to purchase. Honestly, even the Newegg 9800x3d combo for $1100 make more sense when you factor in the RAM and cooler.

I wouldn't buy one if it wasn't for the microcenter deal, it is insane and cannot be beat
