Which motherboard do you have, the more powerful chips can pull a load of power and if you are on a cheap motherboard, which your existing cpu suggests you may be on, it might not be upto the job of running an i9, the i7 would likely be easier.

Though, if it's not much more, I'd get the chip with the igpu, it can come in handy.

You'll also need a notable better cooling solution and you'll probably want faster memory to take advantage of the new chips.

Just something to consider as going with ryzen could work out cheaper, it doesn't need as fast of memory or as good of a mobo and they are easier to cool.

A 9700x and a mobo would likely be cheaper than the Intel option.

I say this as someone with a 14900ks.

14700F, you dont those 4 more E-cores, not even for multi monitor stuff.

My motherboard is PRIME H610M-R D4.

Isn't i9 more future proof though ?

Sorry, but you need a new motherboard for the i7 or the i9, that board doesn't have the power delivery to handle the high end chips, asus themselves only say it's for upto 65w chips.

So you'll want to plan maybe an i5 14400 max on it or a new mobo and ram as I'm guessing yours is likely 2133MHz, which would hold back more potent cpu's also, plus it's ddr4.

So an economical upgrade would be an AMD B series mobo, ddr5 6000MHz memory and a 9700x.

A mobo to use the i7 or i9 will cost more than the amd option and you'll really want ddr5 7200 on Intel side also.

Not really, I disable the E-core on my 14900ks, they don't really do anything for gaming but use up power.

I thought it can support i7 and i9s from what I saw on this Asus page:

Well the non K are listed as 65w, but under any kind of load that will shoot up.

It will fit, id just not run it on that board, it will happily pull 150w and that board doesn't isn't really built to handle the load, at max boost it can pull 200w on a 14900f.

The board doesn't have the cooling or power delivery that I'd feel comfortable running a high end chip on it myself.

But, it's your money.

Ok, thanks for the info.

Does i5-14400F works well on this motherboard ?
Since, I'm not sure about upgrading my motherboard for now.(And if I upgrade I'll switch to a AMD cpu)

Yeah a 14400f will have no problems.

Though, if you were to swap go AMD, you could likely get a mobo and a 9700x gir less than the cost of of an i9 14900f

Edit.
Oddly, the 14900k can be had cheaper than a 14900f.
But I'd not run that on that mobo at all.

Might be worth looking second hand tbh.

Though, I do have a 13400 myself in my htpc, paired with ddr4 3600 abd it runs everything fine, the 14400 is just a faster updated version.

Thanks a lot ! Much appreciated.

I'll get a 14400F if I upgrade in the following weeks.

never cheap out on mobos and psus....

edit: not saying you should get those overpriced mobos either

definitely not i9

14600K is more than enough. very fast chip if paired with DDR5 7000.

socket 1700 can support 12-13-14th gen intel i series cpus

but depending on the boards vrm power config, it may not be able to run higher tdp cpus at max clocks for any period of time

PRIME H610M-R D4
https://www.asus.com/me-en/motherboards-components/motherboards/prime/prime-h610m-r-d4
is a very cheap office board, not capable of running a high end cpu at any load
3+1+1 vrm config with no heatsinks
~60w to cpu cores

your i3 13100f is 58-110w
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/230576/intel-core-i313100f-processor-12m-cache-up-to-4-50-ghz/specifications.html
it is already being limited by the board at max load and will throttle under all core/thread loads even before the cpu can get hot

if you are gong to go to a new cpu and board, go with an amd setup
