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.

Voltage Regulator Thermal Design Current Limit (VR-TDC)
VR-TDC is a power management feature supported by Intel power management architecture. The feature introduces a current limit, naturally specified in amperes, that is to be maintained to preserve the electrical constraints on properties of the voltage regulator (VR). Generally, the control algorithm monitors the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) current, which is also measured in amperes, by reading current measurements from the VR. As with other control algorithms, this algorithm controls the power budget based on a given time window. If the limit is hit, the processor will reduce the CPU frequency (frequency throttling) to ensure the current remains below this limit.
