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.

Go for DDR5 since you do not attempt a super budget build. DDR4 is outdated and DDR5 not so new anymore that they are super expensive.
If possible go for 2x8 over 1x16, but they are most of the time sold as a kit anyways. The two most important numbers are the frequency and the CAS latency (CL). Do not forget about the latter!
I think the LGA1700 socket only supports 12th-14th generation (which is why I personally went with the R5 7600). You should keep in mind that your upgrade options would be limited and the re-sale value of the 13500 will be low (people may want to upgrade from their i5 12500 to an i7 14700, but not to your 13500). For this reason you may want to consider a better CPU, but then again the 14th generation is just a refresh and not that much better.
