Community Reviews

This bundle pairs an Intel Core i9-14900KS with an Asus Z790 gaming WiFi 7 motherboard, and the main appeal is raw performance for overclocking with strong cooling. It can be a drop-in upgrade if you already have DDR4 and an LGA 1700 board, which keeps the build cost down. The catch is that the included motherboard is DDR5-only, so anyone starting from DDR4 faces a much pricier upgrade. BIOS updates are also important because 14th-gen Intel voltage issues were raised, making this a better fit for enthusiasts who already have the right memory and platform.

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.

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

270k+ all the way, unless you already have DDR5 this will cost you $1100 for the CPU, MB, and RAM. That puts you in the 9950x3d combo price range at MC. The 270k+ is very hard to beat at the $630 price at MC. I swear, that CPU has got to be subsidized by Intel just to keep some market share.
