For a brand-new chip, I’d choose the 14600kf and confirm the BIOS is current, since it offers much better performance. The stability problems are most frequent with i7 and i9 models from that line, though the i5 13600kf/14600kf are covered under warranty or support extensions. From my own use, my i5 13600k has remained stable for over a year, and I’m using the latest BIOS with microcode updates. To skip troubles, opting for an AM5 platform would be straightforward.
Thank you for your input! It looks like you're leaning toward 14600KF but are also weighing the AMD platform. Is it reliable and easy to manage? If yes, what CPU and motherboard options would work well alongside it, preferably better than 14600KF?
Be cautious with the 14600KF, since some buyers thought they got a brand new CPU only to find a repacked one with problems. There are unreliable resellers pretending to sell. I recommend the 12600KF instead.
Yes, if it isn't a scam or not approved, I recommend picking 14600KF.
