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

I5's have always been great.

2nd through 7th gen, they were just basically the same as the quad core i7 but without HT. In an era when threads didn't matter at all.

8th gen it was 6 core without HT

9th gen was a little awkward since 9700K was 8 core and 9600K was 6c/6t.

10th gen was a truly epic i5, 6c/12t. Still holding up today. OC'd like a beast.

11th gen, same.

12th gen, same. my 12400F is rockin as hard as my 12700K does, and the 12600K could OC high

I have 14th gen 14600K which is almost the same as the last gen, but runs a little hotter for whatever reason lol. So maybe I should have actually gone with a 13600K like OP did...
