• money is not an issue
  • never will use it for gaming, just excel and opening 200+ tabs on chrome.
  • worried if I get the i9, the arctic freezer II 360 aio, plus four additional 140mm fans won’t be able to cool the 14900. I want idle speeds to be under 40c and never go above 60c when using it.
  • I understand that I don’t even need an i7 or i9, I do it because I wanna have to PC for the next ten years and have no problems and because I can. “Futureproofing for these basic functions”
  • will I notice any differences between the 14900 and 14700 when opening chrome? Will have 64gb of ram.

    The lowest thermal throttling temp you can set on a 14900K is 62C, so you will have to settle for that.

    AMD allows you to set the boost temperature target to 60C if I remember correctly, and since the V/F curve is a lot flatter on AMD CPUs in general, the performance deficit from doing so is significantly smaller
