compatibility of 14th gen with h610 boards

[quicky008]

Someone i know wants to get a 14400F CPU and due to budgetary constraints,wishes to go for a cheaper H610 motherboard.

The vendor from whom he wishes to purchase these components told him that 14th gen cpus don't work well with h610 chipset and he may experience unforeseen problems in the long run-instead he recommended either getting a b760 motherboard or opting for any 12th/13th gen cpu for the sake of stability.

However that fellow doesn't have the budget to afford a b760 motherboard-so will it be a good idea to pair a 14th gen CPU with a h610 ddr4 mobo from gigabyte/msi etc?Are his vendor's statements true that 14th gen may cause problems with h610?

Also have the crashing/CPU instability issues that plagued 13th & 14th gen cpus been resolved now with the newer bios updates?is buying such a cpu considered safe nowadays?

Intel 13th & 14th gen are still better to be avoided.

Also, an i5 14400F will likely not perform at its max multicore performance because of poor VRMs on the H610 mobos, even cheap B760 mobos. Like my cheap Gigabyte B660M DS3H can't handle a 125W CPU because of low quality VRM, basically VRMs will overheat & CPU will not get the full 125W that it can draw.

So for something cheap, get i5 12400F for under 9k as anyways performance will be limited on the 125W i5 14400F. I assume the buyer has a dedicated GPU.
