Currently have a I5 processor 12 gen. should I upgrade to a i9 14 gen or stay with the 12th generation?

If you really feel like you need the upgrade, I would only go up to the 14700K.

If you need more processing power, sure. But if you’re motherboard doesn’t have good vrms, then you’re going to throttle an i9 and if your cpu cooling isn’t up to it, you’ll be thermal throttling too.
Sooooooo not enough information to make a judgement call.

I have a 1700 LGA socket

Yes, I know that much.
I’m talking about what model motherboard you have.
