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.

When you say instability what does that entail? Clock speeds, temps, power fluctuations, software being unresponsive could all fall under that. Asking as I've been running the 14900k with a z690 aorus pro for weeks now with massively varied setups, with xtu ai limits at 450w, bios limits at 253w. With undervolting the even pushing all core to 6.2ghz. Ive put it through 400w load benches and undervolted till it crashed and it keeps chugging along
After usually around 5 minutes, the computer just shuts off. I thought it was the PSU, so I got a new Dark power 13 1kw PSU and the problem remains. I'm not convinced yet that it's the hardware but rather something I'm doing wrong in the bios.
So this sounds more like unstable voltages, as I would experience this when trying to undervolt or overclock without adjusting voltages accordingly. I would advise to not only set bios to defaults, but also ensure you have things like multi core enhancement disabled which might be turned on be default. Also enable turbo limits as intel por/default 253w. If you see improvements with this, it might at least rule out you having a faulty cpu/pins
