Load Temps
Using the Thermaltake ToughLiquid 360 Ultra AIO cooler, the processor produced a full load temperature of 57 degrees Celsius which I thought was oddly low.
Since the Intel Core i9-14900K has a fairly high default TDP of 125W (Turbo Boost TDP can reach 300W +), we do recommend a large 360mm AIO cooler for optimal cooling.
