Core i7 14700K RAM Max speed in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I’m using a 7200 kit with no issues. Just turned on the XMP profile and go.

14700k

Gigabyte Z790 AORUS PRO X

G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 48 GB (2 x 24 GB) DDR5-7200 CL36

1
Cinebench 2024, 14700k (alien.top)
 

Stock BIOS settings except turning XMP on. Windows power plan on high performance. I had Edge running in BG along with normal idle stuff.

Scores: 1876 multi, 118 single

Notes:

Single Core - I noticed during the single core test that it seemed to mostly stay at 5.5ghz, I saw a core occasionally go to 5.6 for short periods.

Multi - Package power stayed around 250-260w the whole time. Based on what I read and the PL1/2 limits, I expected more since there was some room in the thermals? 91c was the tiny spike in the graph, normally it was sitting 85-87c.

Specs:

  • Gigabyte Z790 AORUS PRO X
  • 14700k + Thermalright Contact Frame
  • ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 420
  • G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 48 GB (2 x 24 GB) DDR5-7200 CL36
  • Gigabyte GAMING OC GeForce RTX 4090
  • NZXT C1200 1200

Anyways.. not sure what to think about the results. Should I bother manually tuning anything? I primarily game at 4k and never see the CPU above ~20% usage.

I just upgraded from the same CPU as you, though I went for the 14700k.

IMO, if you're like me (which appears to be the case), I do a new build every ~7 years so I would get the 14900k. The cost difference is peanuts over that period of time and you may as well get the latest for the socket (and it seems like there are some 14 gen only features).
