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.

As the chip heats and cools over lifetime it will expand and contract slightly. The Intel sockets are characteristically more rectangular and the point of contact from the default bracket extends across the longer sides. This has been a thing since LGA1200 with the amount of volts and level of turbo boosting to compete with competition. The benefit of LGA1700 is that there are 4 through holes for the CPU retention bracket, versus only 3 on LGA1200. With a third party ILM bracket you can more evenly distribute the pressure and lessen the bowing over time.
I would also recommend lowering the max clock below what the chip is designed for. CPUs have come a long way. My Asus board lets me create profiles, so i have one preset with turbo disabled and one with a -1GHz debuff. Max temps under water are 42/56 respectively, after my last LGA1200 died after 18 months never exceeding 75*C. If not going water, look into good air cooling reviews. I'm a huge fan of Noctua for a balance of performance and acoustics.
