Intel Core i7-14700 on the ASUS ROG Strix Z790-F Gaming WiFi
Pairing the Intel Core i7-14700 with the ASUS ROG Strix Z790-F Gaming WiFi puts 65 W through a 1530 W power stage array — 4 % of what the board holds — for an estimated VRM temperature of 41 °C and no measurable clock loss.

Power delivery
There is real headroom here. The ASUS ROG Strix Z790-F Gaming WiFi is rated for roughly 1530 W of continuous core power and the Intel Core i7-14700 draws 65 W once a ten-minute render settles, so the power stages spend their time well inside their comfortable range. An estimated 41 °C is the kind of VRM temperature that never appears in a log, and the board will not be the reason a benchmark run finishes slower than it started.
Counting only the stages that feed the core rail — 16 of them at 90 A, teamed in pairs off a shared controller channel — and derating for large finned blocks with real thermal mass, the ASUS ROG Strix Z790-F Gaming WiFi holds roughly 1530 W indefinitely. The Intel Core i7-14700 asks for 65 W of that, and at boost it can reach 219 W.
Buy it on the rest of the specification rather than on power delivery, because at 4 % of capacity the VRM has stopped being the interesting variable. Count the M.2 slots you need, check the rear ports against what you actually plug in, and let the ASUS ROG Strix Z790-F Gaming WiFi's 16 stages get on with it.
Note: One M.2 slot borrows lanes from the graphics slot
The Gen 5 M.2 slot borrows four graphics lanes, leaving the primary slot at x8 when it is used.
