Let me save you a lot of time:
The only interesting CPU here is the 14700K. It has a good boost above the 13700K in production workloads thanks to having 4 additional e-cores, but now uses more power.
Depending on if your motherboard enforces or removes power limits, the 14900K has either a margin of error difference or is slightly faster than the 13900K. The 14900K uses far more power with the power limits removed in production work loads, and actually runs slightly cooler than the 13900K in gaming.
The 14600K is a little faster than the 13600K and power is about the same.
Package temps per Hardware Unboxed in CineBench were at 100C with a 360mm AIO on the 14900K and 14700K. The 14600K was at 86C, again...
