I did this, also needed to upgrade my cooler to a 360aio so keep that in mind, the 14700k is alot hotter, like alot…
Did I notice anything? No not really, I already had 400fps in cs2 for example, yes now the number is like 500-600, do I notice it though, is it tangible? Not really.
It only runs hot with these out-of-control default motherboard settings. Set your power limits to 253W (the Intel spec) and you’ll get 96% of the performance (literally) and temps in the upper 70s on a torture test vs instantly at 100 during the same test with the power unlimited.
And before anyone says that that eats into the performance gains in coming from 12th gen, nope. Because 12th gen also needs to be power limited out of the box to 241W (again, the Intel spec) in order to not have the same exact issue. And again, it’s roughly that same 96% of the performance at 241W.
