Newegg has a nice sale on the top of the line Raptor Lake. 14900KS. with a free motherboard for $520 shipped.

Enthusiast grade cpu if one wants the best from that generation. Price to performance yes its lower compared to the 14900k, but for overclocking hobbyists who want the best of the LGA 1700 platform a pricey albeit a nice deal.

Sell the board for 140 on ebay if you dont need it making it about $400 after that.

I picked one up to replace a 12700k that goes into a system with 2x360mm custom loop.
