    Purchased this cpu in June of last year to ‘upgrade’ from my 12700k. It was really good for the first few months that I had this cpu for, it would breeze through the games and work I was doing at the time. Then programs had started to crash/stop working altogether. Then it couldnt even boot into windows after another momth, I tried everything, lowering the speeds, updating bios and even using new ram however none of it worked, if the cpu itself hadnt degraded overtime it would have a higher rating.

    Intel makes great products. The key to this on will be if it lasts. Huge amount of fails on the 13th and 14th gen processors. Had to RMA my last one.

    I purchased this to go along with my Asus ROG Strix Z790 Wifi-gaming motherboard. It's been running great! Check the motherboard you purchase though, as it may require bios upgrades to fix issues and compatibility. The fact that you can decide if you want to go with a cheaper board and DDR4, or be up to date with a newer board and DDR5 is great as well!

    This is probably one of the most popular graphics card in the consumer segment. It has a separate fan as you can see. I’ve been using it for over a few months and I’ve had no issues with it. It’s really quite it renders pretty much anything and everything.

    Buying this processor was the worse decision of my life!! I have attached pics of my build as well as all the error for your references. So I build nearly 6000$ worth pc, I went all out assembling the best white themed pc of my life, specs are as follows Motherboard : Asus ROG Z790 Maximus Formula GPU : ASUS ROG RTX 4090OC white RAM : Gskill Trident Z5 2X32 GB white AIO : ASUS ROG Ryujin III 360 ARGB White Chassis : Lian Li 011 Vision White PSU : Asus Rog Thor 1200W Platinum II FANS : 2 packs of 3 Lian Li uni fans TL 120 white 1 pack of 3 Lian Li uni fans TL 120 white Reverse Blade Monitor : ROG Swift OLED PG34WCDM 34" 240hz Keyboard : Asus ROG Falchion RX 65% White apart from these i also spend money on other stuff such as table, mouse mat, router, lan cable, zip ties and whatnot! after spending months of my saving for a pc of my dream, all that i get is crashes every 5 to 10 mins. whole internet is filled by posts of intel i9 14900k crashing an voltage spiking. Only if i would have done a little research of intel's nightmare cpu instead of watching tons of youtube videos of gameplay performance. I received a more than 7 week of ban on Valorant because my game was crashing in competitive mode, other single player games are crashing with out of the memory error and my VS code crashes every 5 min all that i code gets lost, Google chrome is crashing every 5 mins. I tried every fix to resolve the problem, Asus themself launched a bios to fix the crashing caused by overclocking the cpu which did solved my game crashing problem but browser and vs code is still crashing.
