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.

3070 Gaming OC + i5 13600kf/i5 14600kf ??? (alien.top)

I am planning to upgrade my CPU because i bought a 3070 and i dont know if the 14600kf will bottleneck more than the 13600k.

In my country the 14600kf is cheaper than the 13600k but im scared that the 14th gen will be too powerfull for my 3070

Thoughts?

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
