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.

At this point with LGA 1700 being EOL you might as well wait for 15th Gen next October as the improvements between 12th / 13th / 14th Gen aren't enticing enough to warrant a in socket upgrade, let alone one that is the same model but newer unless you're running very time sensitive productivity tasks. For gaming, especially at any resolution above 1080p you're not going to see a mind blowing difference. APO is a terrible selling point because what it can be used for at the moment will already run extremely well with your 12700K anyways, but it will be much more matured come 15th Gen. Waiting an extra year for not only a new socket but a huge node shift that'll inevitably produce much better efficiency to performance is the smartest move in my personal opinion.
