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.

I was in a similar predicament, I went with a 13900KF and a MSI Z790 Edge WiFi DDR4 board (moved from AM4) kept my 4 RAM sticks and just went with the lower (CL16 3600) speed with XMP enabled. It's like within 1% or less than a comparable rig running DDR5 at 4800-5000 speeds. I'm not to beat up about it. Stability is greater than the speed. Plus Intel isn't as fussy about the fast RAM as AMD was. That (RAM stability, or lack there of) was what inadvertently got me to the new platform earlier than expected anyways.
