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.

according to userbenchmarks (which is deeply flawed in general, but here it's a good indicator), the 14600k is only 13% better for 300 euros. in general, CPUs can stay relevant for more than 5 years, i know someone who was still sucessfully running a 3000-gen intel CPU until recently. yes, you're somewhat leaving performance on the table, but in reality most games you'll play will most likely be GPU limited anyway. buying a 14600k will not result in 13% more FPS, if it results in FPS gains at all. you should wait at least 2 more generations before upgrading.
