As you may know by now I purchased 14700K today and it (figuratively) blew up. I skipped my work today (LOL) for you guys and straight up disassembling my custom loop.

Unfortunately my old pc is not great, just an i5-12400 installed on a mediocre B660M ITX motherboard complete with weak VRM, still on DDR4, and for now it’s impossible to reassembly the custom loop. So then I’m using a cheap ass air cooler to cool the i7 for this test.

Do note that this cinebench result is from an i7-14700K stock, with STOCK!! DDR4 speed (cannot boot with XMP, I have 3600Mhz sticks, don’t know why) and using a small ITX cooler. The temps maxed out at 92°C.

My Z790 board + DDR5 sticks is on it’s way but I think the processor is widely available by then..

The bechmark results are very underwhelming IMO, but as expected. Just enjoy the cpuz, hwinfo screenshot, and my setup pic for now. Peace.

    Taking into consideration the limitations of the test system, the score isn’t terrible, but, you’re right, it could be better.

    Thermals were not awful (again considering test sytem), but 92C is a bit toasty.

    It will be interesting to see what the score is with the DDR5 platform. Thank you for sharing this.

    Thets little disappointing, but it would be interesting too see results with better cooling

    I’m sorry but that username holy shit, hahahahahahaha

    Wait I just realized, you can use this with DDR4? Wow.

    Also that temp :O

  4. Hmm! Going to get a 14700k to replace my 8700k so looks promising for a larger performance jump.

    Hopefully soon benchmarks come out

    The limitation here is gonna be ddr4 and that wack ass cooler.

    You need to come back and shows us the results when you have your custom loop and ddr5/new board. That’ll be an interesting comparison.

    Congrats and enjoy.

    That’s strangely low for the CB2024 multi core test. My stock 12700k with DDR4 (3600 CL16) scores 1184 pts.

  8. From a P3 Owner to a P1 Owner. You got style!
