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.

Just sharing my views on this processor.
I always thought about i5 as slow processors, but I was checking the benchmarks and its amazingly fast and in gaming some cases even defeated i9 13900k
Intel Core i5-13600K Review | PCMag
The single core performance is really strong almost (slightly less) around Ryzen 9 7950X.
And now the prices are reasonable. Intel has done a great job with raptor lake 13th gen

Interesting. So I own a 13600k, but I don't have the rest of my build yet. Black Friday is the plan for that.

I know it's possible to undervolt the CPU and I will more than likely do this. Is it possible to undervolt and overclock? And get better performance AND lower power draw?

I will say I didn't know that about Intel but being one who also does a lot of desktop/browser stuff as well as productivity and gaming that's kind of nice to know.

It's why I ultimately went Intel again this time (Well that's and that's where I got the best deal lol. It was honestly okay with either Intel or AMD). They do seem the most well rounded though, with the only drawback being the power draw/temps as far as I knew, which I do consider to be a bit unfortunate.
