CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.
This guys got a problem with his cooling. My 14700K idles about 10 degrees C above ambient.
You do know that only what cools it can be defective right?
Something heating up like that doesn't mean it's defective as what produces heat will always produce heat no matter what.
Check the underside of your cooler's block to make sure you took the plastic off before you installed it.

youve done something wrong when building, that is not normal

That's a cooling problem. Bad contact or dead AIO.
I'm using an air cooler with the fans set to 0RPM.
What's odd is that if I turn the fans on, the temps stay the same. I don't understand why the fans don't seem to do anything to cool the CPU.
I'm not sure if the CPU is throttling. Does the i7-14700k have a Watt limit of 125 TDP or max power limit of 254W?
I see both numbers reported on the spec sheet.
If I have better cooling, would the W number in CoreTemp go up to 125W or 254W? I've seen other threads where this CPU uses around 80W for gaming and it's enough. But if it gets pushed to the limit, will the max be 125W or 254W?
That is almost certainly a mounting/cooler issue. The new Intel chips absolutely run way too hot, but not even close to your numbers op.

This is 100% a you-mistake

Between CPU and cooler surface should be thermal paste, not plastic sticker
... did you forget to remove the sticker on your heatsink?
Dell did that to me once, and it had some thicc paste under it lol.
lol no..your CPU AIO/cooler sucks big time.
Try a contact frame maybe? It's unusual
Great update!
After letting the thermal paste settle, updating the drivers and configuring the memory settings correctly, the temperatures look much better.
Idling at 70 - 80 degrees now instead of 80 - 90.
Thank you for all the help!
You have not fixed anything. Your cooler isn't mounted properly or you're using a cooler that is inadequate for this chip.
If this is something that has happened before with an AMD chip at idle then you need to look up how to install a CPU cooler properly.
Your CPU will run terrible if that's your idle temps nevermind load temps.
You sure you used the right standoffs?
These poor CPUs really got screwed in the carbon lottery
I can tell you off the bat no contact frame no good thermal paste and bad air cooler. I'm running a 5.7ghz all core on a 13900k Temps max out at 92c 420m Rad
Also putting too much pressure on the cpu when putting on a Cooler will make it run like trash too just FYI
Air Cooler is your problem IMO.
Get a 360 AIO if you can afford one?
There’s some affordable deals on eBay at the moment especially if your an eBay plus member. I just bought a Cougar Helo 360 and with my plus discount only cost me $165.00 from Computer Alliance. Plus I got free two day delivery.
Noctua u14s user here. Air is just fine.
Shouldn’t air cool a 14700k good luck.

skill issue, pay someone to do the job for you
Lol. This is way more likely a "The guy who built the computer sucks"-problem. How anyone would built a PC without basic knowledge like this is beyond me
Layer 8 issue
trust me, its a YOU Problem lol
I am having a bad time cooling my 14700 with my dark rock pro 3 I bought a contact frame and kryonaut cause I thought I had the bend/ bad contact issue but my temps are not better they just take longer to reach max temp I get 97-98 max temp in bench even with the extra E cores disabled at 5.5ghz
