Anyone running a 14900k without problems?

I'm wondering with the last 5 BIOS patches if that improves anything? My only option to upgrade would be the 14900k. Since buying the 285K would be kinda silly for me anyway.

What cpu are you on now? All of the 13xxx and 14xxx chips got a 2 year warranty extension to 5 years total. If you're on 13xxx, going 14th gen is pointless. Apply the fixes and enjoy, if it dies rma it.

Mine's been good for exactly 14 months today, although I had it capped at 253w since before the self-immolation issues were first reported. I'm not worried about it, will be looking to upgrade by 2028 I'm sure.

I have a 14900K in my racing sim pc and it's never given me any issues and has shown no indications of any degradation so far. I've had it for about a year now with power limits set to 253W and undervolted from day one.

Anyone with a little PC knowledge capped the VID or PL day 1 and has had no problems. It was fairly obvious to anyone in the know that shoving 1.6V+ into a CPU for single core boosting was excessive. Too bad Intel did it anyways.

This my approach. I have a 13700k and 14700K and have the latest bios running both with no issues. Both are fairly new and are used sparingly.

I have a casual PC gaming buddy who has been running one sans issues for about a year. At least once I showed him how to turn off all of the bloatware for his Razer accessories. BIOS was mostly set to defaults with XMP enabled and he was playing new games. His crashdumps folder was clean minus GOG crashes that almost everyone gets.

Not quite the answer to your question but I have a 13900K which I've had for over 2 years, it's happy and fine, though I did impose Intel's 253w limit on it from the time I got it. It's been a very stable system, I haven't seen any of the game crashing people have reported, despite playing lots of UE4 games (Jedi Survivor, Hogwarts Legacy, etc) and the system itself hasn't BSOD'd at all that I can recall. Because of my experience I was highly skeptical of people reporting issues in the early days of the 13th/14th gen CPU thing, I figured they must be pushing the OC too hard or something because mine running at stock limits was so stable. It has continued to be stable since all the latest BIOS updates, which I tend to apply as soon as they come out.

I also have a 14900HX in my laptop which hasn't had any issues. Now granted, they said laptop CPUs weren't affected so I don't know how useful a datapoint it is, but it is a 14th gen and it does work happy for the time I've had it.
