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.

Upgrade from 9700k - 14700k (alien.top)

Black Friday sales here in New Zealand are coming up from this Friday and I'm thinking about an upgrade from my 9700k.

My current system is:
9700k clocked all cores at 5ghz
32gb DDR4 @ 3200
3080Ti

I game at 1440p (165hz monitor) playing Tarkov, BF, Horizon Zero Dawn and a few others.

Talk me into it... or not. Should I consider another Intel CPU?

7800X3D in NZ is exactly the same price and the motherboards are actually more expensive. From what I've read in my research so far the 7800X3D is usually cheaper than the 14700k and I'm not keen based on what I'm hearing about various issues with USB, memory stability and uneven performance.
