I basically swapped my i7-12700k for a i5-14600kf as I could really only get all core 5.0ghz with the 12700k or 5.1ghz but needed a lot more voltage. Using DDR5 @ 6ghz cl34 and RTX 4090 w/ a z790 board. Same as what was using with the i7-12700k
I noticed right away, that this CPU default voltages are far too high. Having set it to a maximum of 1.28v at 6ghz all core it maxes out at 150w in Cinebench 2024 and what ever I through at it, it will not crash. I also have the e-cores at 4.8 ghz and ring at 4.8ghz.
It seems odd that Intel has released the 14th gen to be power hungry by default and I have no idea why. Unless the silicon used was so varied, as a safeguard they just underclocked and overvolted. Either way, I'm pretty sure I could keep going but as I am not CPU bottlenecked in any game at 4K (been using 4k only for over a decade now. Get the GPU to do the work).. I wonder how far it can go.
