Test Setup
For our tests, we will be using a test rig which is comprised of the ASRock Phantom Gaming B760I Lightning WiFi motherboard, along with an Intel Core i9-14900K @ default clock speed, as well as 32GB of Lexar ARES RGB DDR5-7200 in dual channel mode.
All tests were conducted at turbo clock speeds at a resolution of 1920×1080 or higher. High or Ultra settings enabled.

Load Temps
Using the Thermaltake ToughLiquid 360 Ultra AIO cooler, the processor produced a full load temperature of 87 degrees Celsius, while the CPU package hit a high of 90 degrees Celsius.
Since the Intel Core i9-14900K has a high default TDP of 125W (Turbo Boost TDP can reach 300W +), we do recommend a large 360mm AIO cooler for optimal cooling.
