Intel Core i9-14900F Processor
24 Cores | 32 Threads | Max. Boost Clock Up To 5.8 GHz | Intel LGA1700 Socket
All the i9 cores, none of the overclocking drama. The Core i9-14900F packs the same 24-core, 32-thread layout as the flagship 14900K (8 P-cores plus 16 E-cores) and turbos up to 5.8GHz. It skips the integrated graphics and the unlocked multiplier to keep the price lower.
If your plan was always 'put a big GPU in it and never touch the BIOS', this is the smarter i9. It's a heavyweight for gaming plus streaming, video editing, rendering and serious multitasking, with 36MB of Smart Cache keeping things moving.
Its lower 65W base power makes it friendlier to B760 boards and mid-range coolers than the K. Under all-core loads it can still turbo up to 219W, so a good 240mm or 360mm AIO is still recommended.
Best for: High-end gaming builds with a dedicated GPU, streaming, content creation and workstation-style multitasking, for builders who don't overclock.
Platform and compatibility
It uses the Intel LGA1700 socket and works with H610, B660, B760, H670, Z690, H770 or Z790 motherboards. LGA1700 supports both DDR4 and DDR5 boards, so you can build cheap now or go all-in on DDR5.

Frequently asked questions
Does the i9-14900F need a graphics card?
Yes. The 'F' means there are no integrated graphics, so you need a dedicated GPU for any display output.
Can I overclock the i9-14900F?
No, the multiplier is locked. It still turbos up to 5.8GHz on its own, and you can run it on a B760 board without paying for Z790.
Which cooler should I use?
A quality 240mm or 360mm AIO, or a top-tier dual-tower air cooler. It turbos up to 219W under heavy loads.
Which motherboard is compatible?
Any LGA1700 board: H610, B660, B760, Z690 or Z790. 600-series boards may need a BIOS update for 13th and 14th Gen chips. Pick a DDR4 or a DDR5 board. They aren't interchangeable.
What RAM should I use?
Either DDR4 or DDR5, depending on the motherboard you pick. DDR5-6000 is the performance choice, while DDR4-3200 keeps budget builds cheap.
