it's still a 14th gen Intel processor. Step back to the 12th gen. i7-12700K, i9-12900K...none of those seem to be affected.if i choose intel i7 14700K, instead of i5 14600K- it is bad then? intel haven't fix it still?

I built my PC with the i5-13600K almost 2 years ago. No problems...YET.
As for recommendations, it helps if we know in what country you live/order parts from.
Even before the stability issue, Raptor Lake wasn't great to begin with: their CPUs used a tonne more wattage to hit the frequencies needed to make it competitive with AMD. Intel was really trying to push their technologically inferior CPUs to the absolute limit, and soon after release people started talking about stability issues, e.g. here:if i choose intel i7 14700K, instead of i5 14600K- it is bad then? intel haven't fix it still?
Thanks all of u guys. I really appreciate it.
Di i need ddr5 (because i m not a gamer)? then i shift into ddr4 then and rebuild my components.
After considering all the advice and resources, I've decided to go with the Intel Core i7-12700K (Alder Lake) and use DDR4 RAM. Will I face any issues with this setup?AFAIK the CPU generation will determine which generation of RAM you need, the only exception I'm vaguely aware of is Intel Alder Lake (12th gen) which can take DDR4 and low-end DDR5 (PS: I haven't built anything newer from Intel than 11th gen). Otherwise Raptor Lake needs DDR5, AMD AM5 needs DDR5, and AMD AM4 needs DDR4.
After you choose your CPU (at least the generation), it may be worth your while reading up about optimum RAM for gaming with that CPU otherwise you might end up overspending when the CPU doesn't make great use of the expensive RAM.
No, just make sure the motherboard you get is also a DDR4 board.After considering all the advice and resources, I've decided to go with the Intel Core i7-12700K (Alder Lake) and use DDR4 RAM. Will I face any issues with this setup?
Given my type of work, this setup should allow me to work comfortably and at a decent speed, right?No, just make sure the motherboard you get is also a DDR4 board.
I don't see any reason this wouldn't work for your use case. What have you been using up to this point for your work?Given my type of work, this setup should allow me to work comfortably and at a decent speed, right?
I'm an offensive cybersecurity professional, so I work extensively with tools like VMware Workstation, VirtualBox, Burp Suite, and Metasploit, and I use a dual-boot setup. My PC is strictly for professional use - especially for penetration testing, digital forensic, malware analysis, bug hunting etc.—no gaming involved.I don't see any reason this wouldn't work for your use case.

In that case, functional RAM will sufficeI'm an offensive cybersecurity professional, so I work extensively with tools like VMware Workstation, VirtualBox, Burp Suite, and Metasploit, and I use a dual-boot setup.

Yeah I read all that.

I built my rig with z690 board (DDR4) and i5-13600K. No issues. I think even the 790 series of boards have DDR4 variants. The I9-14900 processors will run DDR4 just fine...but not as fast as the DDR5. Will the average user notice the difference?AFAIK the CPU generation will determine which generation of RAM you need, the only exception I'm vaguely aware of is Intel Alder Lake (12th gen) which can take DDR4 and low-end DDR5 (PS: I haven't built anything newer from Intel than 11th gen).

There was actually more trouble with the higher level parts. They were pushing them too hard.if i choose intel i7 14700K, instead of i5 14600K- it is bad then? intel haven't fix it still?
Why 2 drives? I don't see any reason to buy a 1 TB HDD over a 1 TB SSD. Why not just buy a 2 TB NVME drive?Finally, Here is my revised build :
CPU: Intel Core i7-12700K Alder Lake Processor
Motherboard: MSI Pro Z690-A WiFi DDR4
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB (2 x 32GB) DDR4 3200MHz Black (CMK64GX4M2E3200C16)
SSD: Samsung 990 Pro 1TB
HDD: Toshiba P300 1TB 7200RPM
Casing: Lian Li Lancool II Mesh Performance
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 Chromax.Black Air Cooler / Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280 AIO Liquid Cooler (Not sure)
Keyboard & Mouse: A4Tech 4200N Wireless Combo
Power Supply: Corsair RM750x Shift 750W 80+ Gold Full Modular
UPS: APC 1000VA
I doubt he's buying a 1TB HDD; I assumed it's a holdover.Why 2 drives? I don't see any reason to buy a 1 TB HDD over a 1 TB SSD. Why not just buy a 2 TB NVME drive?
Well it's the OPs first PC though so not sure why there would be a holdover.In today's market, you can get a decent 550W PSU but you may not find an excellent one. Selection will be better at 650W.
I doubt he's buying a 1TB HDD; I assumed it's a holdover.
Many years ago I bought a WD Black 1TB; it's still new in box. I do have an old USB2 enclosure to put it in, but why?
I realize we've all been steering OP away from Raptor Lake, but would an i5-14500 and air cooling be such a bad idea? (It was the i7/i9 parts that were failing?)
