Question Thoughts on i7 14700(KF)?

[garibaldi18]

Hi again everyone,

I am trying to figure out a strong CPU to upgrade my PC. It looks like the Intel i7 14700KF might fit the bill. According to this site, it has strong single thread performance, and the price is quite reasonable compared to CPUs nearby on this list. I have read that VAM favors Intel CPUs and that single thread power is more important that having a lot of cores.

Hopefully this should be quite a jump from my i7 7700.

Before I set on buying it, I was wondering what others thought. Maybe even somebody has this CPU and can comment on how it works for VAM?

Thanks for any thoughts and advice.

ps: the only graphic cards with a good anti-sag solution and an intelligent option for the place in wich should be each fucking 16pins nvidia connector adapter are some models gigabyte. The risk to get nightmare problems (breaks) seems not a secondary possibility considering with what a pci-e slot must be penetrated (it's not porn, it's an incredibly actual nightmare... and not all the unlucky assembling experts they had parkinson issues!).

It's a matter of money at the end, but you also have to have some knowledge on what makes sense and what is just money thrown out of the window for nothing. So I'll try to spread some knowledge so that others dont make expensive mistakes or have false expectations.
But yeah, I have the money and the knowledge so I just bought it all
But that has nothing to do with wise And I have Z690 with "old" DDR4, made more sense back then, price/performance wise.

believe me, I was not polemic on your opinions (me too on z690 ddr4, and I don't regret at all), on the contrary. My best upgrade since my old i7 7700 has always been a better cpu. And not only with vam, probably.
