Anyone still on Intel 10th Gen or 11th Gen skipping LGA 1700 entirely? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I’m coming from a 9700k and have just purchased a 14700k. It’s in a box with all the other bits ready to be put together.

I usually aim for 5-6 years from a system and my current system is just over 5.

Felt like the right time to make the move.

What motherboard to pair with my I7-14700K? in c/[email protected]

I’ve just picked up a 14700k as well and have purchased the MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk WiFi.

I plan on putting the system together this week so will report back.

I’m not expecting any issues though.

It seemed to have a pretty solid position in terms of price and features.

What are peoples' thoughts on the Asus Prime Z790-P/V Wifi? in c/[email protected]

ASUS isn’t what it once was. Lots of people having all sorts of issues with them.

MSI or Asrock seem like solid choices.

Did anyone here go AMD? (alien.top)
 

I’m wanting to upgrade this month as I’ve previously posted. I’m going from a 9700k.

Initially I was looking at the 14700k but now I’m considering the AM5 platform.

It’s cheaper, the socket will have a longer lifespan and the 7800X3D is superior in games.

What are people’s thoughts?

Upgrade from 9700k - 14700k (alien.top)
 

Black Friday sales here in New Zealand are coming up from this Friday and I'm thinking about an upgrade from my 9700k.

My current system is:
9700k clocked all cores at 5ghz
32gb DDR4 @ 3200
3080Ti

I game at 1440p (165hz monitor) playing Tarkov, BF, Horizon Zero Dawn and a few others.

Talk me into it... or not. Should I consider another Intel CPU?

7800X3D in NZ is exactly the same price and the motherboards are actually more expensive. From what I've read in my research so far the 7800X3D is usually cheaper than the 14700k and I'm not keen based on what I'm hearing about various issues with USB, memory stability and uneven performance.
