Im still thinking about switching to Intel and obviously every single review mentions how hot this CPU can get. Thing is: This is mostly at STOCK SETTINGS and in BENCHMARKS. How about real world usage? Can anyone share his experience with this CPU and with reasonable powerlimits/undervolting? Im also planning to use my aircooler, a Noctua u12A. My goal is to keep the PC quiet, would this be possible with aircooling and a bit of fiddling in BIOS? Im cool as long as I could keep the RPM under 1000 much like I do right now on my Ryzen CPU.
You must log in or register to comment.
I’m willing to try some scenarions you’d wish to know about at 1000rpm fan speed and report the temperature and performance results (eg how long did it take to encode some audio or video etc) as long as I don’t have to pay for the software in question (like games) though😅

Indeed.

I do not own a core i7 14700, and the only review of powerlimit less than 3 years old that i know is Techpowerup, Intel Core i9-14900K Raptor Lake Tested at Power Limits Down to 35 W, 2023-10-27, https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel-core-i9-14900k-raptor-lake-tested-at-power-limits-down-to-35-w/

It is totally possible but it will cost i-do-know-how-much perf.
I have a 13700k with a 240 AIO and temps are fine and manageable in games. They are only hard to tame on all core loads.
its an intel cpu, so its the best cpu money can buy. it performs extremely well under load and at idle. ryzen both consume more at idle and are harder to cool for x3d chips thanks to an added cache layer between the die and heatsink.
my nhd15 is whisper quiet, during games i limit the fans to 60％, this lets m do 5600mhz all cores with a pl1/2 or 220 watts all while being quiet. my old 5800x3d was giving more hadaches and that was the best.amd cpu in 20years.
intel has no competition and nver had since athlon. id legit want an i5 over an 7950x3d or anything amd.
I got my 14700k and have been testing and setting in up in my latest build. I run everything at stock, with the exception of voltage, where I set for a negative offset of 0.030. I am cooling it with a 360 AIO.
- In benchmark, C23, I get a maximum of 84C
- in various games, I am between the upper 40s and the low 50s the vast majority of the times. The max I ever saw was during Cyberpunk, when I read 61 once. I VR never went above 40 pretty much
Hope it helps!
It strongly depends on your real world cases. Gaming workload? Temperatures are fine. Rendering workload? A lot higher temperatures, and it depends on your cooler whether that’s fine.
