raptor lake

Friends, I have the 14700k. At first I have an undervolt offset of around -0.160 and a clock decreased by 100MHz (5.4GHz). The temperature is under control, the voltage varies from 0.65 to 1.41 during use. However, I believe there is something wrong with the voltage/clock or some problem related...

Do 13th and 14th gen cpus go bad only if you overclock? Is this issue affecting mainly gamers and those who constantly have their cpu running at max? What about average home users who have a modest cpu load most of the time?

Calling all Intel/ASUS experts! Long story short. I am experiencing micro stutter. I want to increase my 1% lows to resolve this. I am having a hard time finding proper terminology for ASUS motherboard voltages. I only recently learned that 12th gen and 13th gen supposedly dont have a VCCIO...

If Alder Lake runs at 125W and Raptor Lake runs at 65W, everything else being equal, with the desktop always on, under minimal load, how much energy would be save over the course of a year? In kilowatt hours, I suppose.

Just curious, but can't find the information anywhere....but I would like to know how many transistors are on a raptor lake CPU? Any ideas?

https://ibb.co/t4HJWxc https://ibb.co/d4Spzk2 Bought it for $230 but it has visible scratches on the edge . What could have even caused it? and what are the chances for it to work? I dont have MB yet so cant test. Any help is helpful!
