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.

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.

don't listen to people who say "you are buying into a dead platform". You used the 9700k for +5 years. If you buy 15th gen cpu, I will assume you will also you use it for +5 years. by the time you upgrade from 15th gen to whatever gen, that platform is "dead" as well because intel would have a new socket. this whole "upgrade path" is unnecessary unless you plan on upgrading every gen. Even if you skip a gen, again, most likely a "dead platform".
i have a 9900k and im thinking of upgrading as well.. mostly because of physics simulations in 3d rendering. takes forever to bake physics and slow view port displays while animating. its also bottlenecking my 4080 (upgraded from gtx 1080).
Fair point. I almost only game in a 60Hz 1080p monitor and do work stuff (office, surfing, BS in general) so my i7 6700K is still enough for the rx 6600 i upgraded from the excellent but ancient gtx 1050ti I used to run. I would love to have a 9th gen as it is W11 supported, but it all depends on what you use your pc for. I guess I'm upgrading soon when W10 EOL, but so far I'm in no hurry. If your PC does not the job As ypu want/need just get one. If it still does, hold. No point in waiting, YOLO, don't wait.
