Im still thinking about switching to Intel and obviously every single review mentions how hot this CPU can get. Thing is: This is mostly at STOCK SETTINGS and in BENCHMARKS. How about real world usage? Can anyone share his experience with this CPU and with reasonable powerlimits/undervolting? Im also planning to use my aircooler, a Noctua u12A. My goal is to keep the PC quiet, would this be possible with aircooling and a bit of fiddling in BIOS? Im cool as long as I could keep the RPM under 1000 much like I do right now on my Ryzen CPU.

    I got my 14700k and have been testing and setting in up in my latest build. I run everything at stock, with the exception of voltage, where I set for a negative offset of 0.030. I am cooling it with a 360 AIO.

    - In benchmark, C23, I get a maximum of 84C

    - in various games, I am between the upper 40s and the low 50s the vast majority of the times. The max I ever saw was during Cyberpunk, when I read 61 once. I VR never went above 40 pretty much

    Hope it helps!
