This CPU generation is new to me. My previous setup used an I7 3820 that still works but feels quite old. The current build features the 14900K with Z790 Dark Hero and dual 48GB Corsair Titanium RAM. I adjusted the voltage using XTU to .030v and only tweaked the BIOS settings. I’m checking if the CPU stays cool during normal YouTube use, looking up temperatures between 32 to 35, 36, 37, and occasionally spiking to 40-45 while multitasking. I’ve noticed brief spikes of around 70 (rare) followed by drops. On a 3440x1440 UW, performance is 50-60 with occasional 72-78 spikes. These readings seem reasonable for the build. If you’re interested, here’s the full configuration list.
I completed the onboard ASUS mem test and cinebench checks. The temperatures in cinebench were significantly higher than what games expected. I decided to further undervolt the system. I’m not sure if I was lucky with the chips but possibly my lack of understanding played a role. The CB test reached 100 randomly, and the CPU hit 6.1. Using XTU, I tried the maximum possible undervolt, but -0.050v was the limit I could handle. Even after 30 minutes, it didn’t seem stable. Forza Motorsport showed strange startup spikes that would spike up and crash, so I lowered it to -0.045v which worked. It seems others can undervolt more than me—maybe I’m not grasping the process well. I’m uncertain if this extra strain affects performance, but I haven’t noticed those high temps during gaming or editing. Just testing now.
Some Asus motherboards include a BIOS setting to adjust the upper temperature limit before thermal throttling starts. The default for Intel is 100°C, but you can lower it to 90°C if needed. Intel’s 14th Gen CPUs are built to operate stably at elevated temperatures. This is now standard practice. Intel retail CPUs typically come with a three-year warranty. Operating them up to their rated 100°C should be safe.
