Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don't be rude. Let people enjoy things.
CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.

Is a 120mm AIO sufficient for keeping a i9 12900k cool and performing optimally? (alien.top)

Hey y’all. Recently got a 12900k and was just wondering how important it is to upgrade my AIO to something bigger. Just trying to avoid “cooking it” overnight.

120 aio is a joke. Even an air cooler easily outperform it.

Only time you should use a 120mm AIO is in an ITX if you don't have room for an air cooler, imo
