    Question 14700 or 14700K ?

    Purchased Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 EVO - it slashed my GPU temps by 20C easily. At full loads it rarely reaching 85C. Lower 30 to mid 40C when idle. As long as it stay below 90C i'm happy.

    Question 14700 or 14700K ?

    Hello, many thanks for the detailed response. I've switch to 14700K and you're right, my AK400 is not able to keep up with the temperatures. While there's no degradation in performance, switching from 10700 gave a tremendous boost in gaming performance, but the CPU is hitting 80-92 C while...

    Question 14700 or 14700K ?

    Hello, my current CPU is an i7-10700, it's great but i feel it bottlenecks my RTX 4070 Ti in some games, like the latest game Avowed clearly has dips in FPS when i'm seeing others with 13th or 14th gen CPU and a 3070 play it great. I was thinking of getting a 5080 sooner or later as stocks...

    Hello all, i'm looking to upgrade my CPU from a 10700 to a 14700. I was thinking of going for Ultra 7 265K, but not sure as a number of reviews say that the performance is not good in gaming and I use my PC primarily for gaming. Of course i will have to upgrade my motherboard and DDR4 RAM as...

    Question i7 9700 or i9 9900K?

    Nice, thanks for this detailed reply man. I guess i'm still a month or two into upgrading, so i will probably wait and see the 10th gen CPUs, if it's workable i'll probably go for it, otherwise i guess i will go for i9-9900K and later on upgrade my GPU as well.
