Really good deal, ATL I'm pretty sure?
Seen the other lowest price posted here at $399
Excludes NT, WA Remote
7600 same performance half the price
Ryzen 7600 is around $320? Not exactly half the price of the 14600K.
The 7600x is floating around $350 now which is better value when the Intel was $400+

Looks like 14600K beats out the 7600X in just about everything.

does anyone build intel systems anymore?
For those who still don't know about the issues in 13/14th Gen:

I have a i5-13400F with stock intel cooler - could this explain why my cpu sometimes idles at around 60C? Seems a bit too high, even for the stock cooler. But beyond this, I have not noticed any instability in my PC.
Stock cooler is bit weak when the CPU is stressed but Idles at 60 degrees is not normal. Can you check if you install the cooler properly? Also a thin layer of thermal paste on top of the CPU is critical. Software wise, check your task manager in the OS to see if there is anything running in the background.
Please share your thoughts, is it worth upgrading from a 12700k ?
(I use it for casual AAA games and general use, paired with a RX 6800)
Absolutely no. Keep your 12700K and it should survive until you build your next rig.
AMD is …bettter?
