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.

Try to shift the word "bottleneck" more to the back of your thoughts. It's not that necessary as you maybe think. Especially not in this case. Here the GPU is more likely to “bottleneck” the CPU but I would say think about it if you have a 1660... . Does not make any difference if you take the 13 or 14 here... go with the one you want to.
Yes! Something will always be a bottleneck in a given scenario.
If your current CPU is too weak for what you're trying to achieve and you have the money, then go for it!
I am in the same boat, but I have convinced myself that I don't really need a 13th/14th gen because my OC'd 7700k is still enough for me. And upgrading would cost me around 550€, which is a lot for me
Thank you very much!!!
