When it comes to handling all that heat, I decided to set the Phantom Spirit CPU cooler to operate at 100% fan speed at all times. Of course, these settings increase both performance and power draw, which I will consider and analyze in this review. These settings are enabled by default on most motherboards, and it's recommended to enable them anyway to get better performance. While motherboard settings between Intel and AMD CPUs vary significantly, wherever possible I enabled performance-increasing settings like multicore enhancement for the 14600K and Precision Boost Overdrive for the 7800X3D and 7900X. Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Founder's Edition If that wasn't bad enough, the 14600K's underlying technology is clearly showing its age, and since both AMD and Intel are preparing to launch truly next generation products in 2024, it's clear that the 14600K is probably going to look pretty quaint about a year from now.ĪSRock Z790 Taichi Lite/Asus TUF Gaming B650-Plus However, the 14600K's increased price means it's just not going to be the midrange champion the 13600K is right now, at least not until we start seeing discounts. That being said, the 13600K was a good chip and with the 14600K being a slightly improved version, it's also a good chip. The Core i5-14600K isn't so much a successor to the 13600K, but a 13600K with a new name. That left Intel with one option for its 14th-generation CPUs: refresh its 13th-generation Raptor Lake chips. It would have been great if Intel followed this chip up with one of its upcoming Meteor Lake CPUs, but unfortunately, Intel has decided that Meteor Lake doesn't belong on the desktop. It's got great performance, a great price tag, and acceptable though second-place efficiency. Intel's Core i5-13600K is one of the company's most celebrated CPUs in a long time. ![]()
