HEATSINK VS i9 14900K

Channel support: / @whataboutthepc
In this ultimate showdown, we pit 10 different cooling systems against the powerful Intel Core i9 14900K processor! From high-end AIO coolers and impressive tower coolers to stock coolers and even 1W heatsinks used for Raspberry Pi, we test them all. Watch as we put each cooling system to the test, measuring heating performance and FPS in two popular games: Cyberpunk 2077 and Minecraft. What cooling solution will be the best for price and performance for our CPU? Tune in to find out!

[@WhatAboutThePC]

how do you feel when you hear 14900K(fourteen thousand nine hundred) instead of 14 900K( fourteen nine hundred)?😁

could you test off camera how rounds up an old intel heatsink but the good one of the 775 socket?( Intel 60188-001 SKT-775 like)

[@JamesSmith-sw3nk]

Good video. I suggest to always use an "Anti-Bending Fastener, Bending Type Pressure Plate" for Intel 12th,13th & 14th gen cpus. These cpus are rectangle and not square, they bend over time. The plate also lowers temps and it prevents thermal paste from getting on the board/socket. The great part is they are only around $10 U.S.
