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’m going to upgrade my son’s PC. He’s got my old Ryzen 3600x after i upgraded to 5900x. was gonna go with Intel for him this time. Microcenter has cpu/mobo/ram combos for the 13700k and 14700k. its $50 difference to go with the 14700k bundle. should i go with the 14 or 13? mainly for gaming for him. got him setup with 1440p 144hz monitor on his desk and also hooked up to 42” 4k 144hz monitor.

not concerned with the $50 price, but more concerned with some youtubers saying the 14 series draws crazy power or isnt that much of an improvement over 13 series.

It would be better to upgrade to a better CPU on same mobo. AMD released new 550 and 5700 x3d cpus also with high 3d v cache which is good in gaming.

If you really want to go Intel, go 14700 with MSI board. Stable and good build of mobo and one of best warranty services.
