This guys got a problem with his cooling. My 14700K idles about 10 degrees C above ambient.
That is almost certainly a mounting/cooler issue. The new Intel chips absolutely run way too hot, but not even close to your numbers op.

youve done something wrong when building, that is not normal
That’s a cooling problem. Bad contact or dead AIO.
I’m using an air cooler with the fans set to 0RPM.
What’s odd is that if I turn the fans on, the temps stay the same. I don’t understand why the fans don’t seem to do anything to cool the CPU.
I’m not sure if the CPU is throttling. Does the i7-14700k have a Watt limit of 125 TDP or max power limit of 254W?
I see both numbers reported on the spec sheet.
If I have better cooling, would the W number in CoreTemp go up to 125W or 254W? I’ve seen other threads where this CPU uses around 80W for gaming and it’s enough. But if it gets pushed to the limit, will the max be 125W or 254W?
Check the underside of your cooler’s block to make sure you took the plastic off before you installed it.

This is 100% a you-mistake

Between CPU and cooler surface should be thermal paste, not plastic sticker
… did you forget to remove the sticker on your heatsink?
Dell did that to me once, and it had some thicc paste under it lol.
lol no…your CPU AIO/cooler sucks big time.
Try a contact frame maybe? It’s unusual
I am having a bad time cooling my 14700 with my dark rock pro 3 I bought a contact frame and kryonaut cause I thought I had the bend/ bad contact issue but my temps are not better they just take longer to reach max temp I get 97-98 max temp in bench even with the extra E cores disabled at 5.5ghz
