Rules
-
Be civil. Uncivil language, slurs, and insults will result in a ban. If you can't say something respectfully, don't say it at all.
-
No Unoriginal Sources, Referral links or Paywalled Articles.
-
All posts must be related to Intel or Intel products.
-
Give competitors' recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. 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.

Before the 7800X3D came around, that was the gaming CPU to recommend. It matched the 7700X in gaming and destroyed it in productivity performance.
It's honestly still worth recommending if you want a more stable and balanced experience with your computer.
I was not impressed by the 7800X3D when it released because of the price. I'm sure a lot of people paired a 7800X3D with a midrange GPU, when in reality they would have been better off getting a cheaper CPU and a better graphics card.
