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 believe the 13700K were better than the previous generation's 12900K..this isn't the case with the 14th gen. 14600k == 13600k, with an incredibly small increase in the frequency of the turbo boost. Hardware wise, it's the same. It's basically a slightly overclocked 13600k, but with no real world, or benchmark performance difference.

However, there may be one upside in that Intel may only provide updates & bug fixes to the 14th gen CPUs and not the previous generations. I don't think there's any real limitation for them not to update the 13th gen except for inticing people to buy the 14th gen since the chips are for all intents & purposes, identical.
