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.

12100 is so good it should be illegal. (alien.top)

I thought I'd need a 12700K for my build but had to settle for 12100. Got it 1 year ago.

This thing runs everything I throw at it and gives me at least 60FPS.

Even heavily moded Stalker Anomaly gives me reasonable performance.

I switched sides after about 12 years of using AMD CPUs (a 12700k was cheaper to build than 5800X), and this mini beast was a very very good first impression of Intel for me.

Most CPUs are way overkill these days. When a CPU limited a GPU to 90% everyone screams "bottleneck" as if it's going to blow up their PC and rushes to upgrade with a $500 budget to get that extra 10 fps back.

i mean, you don't want your bottleneck to be your CPU

I think the issues that causes are way overblown vs GPU bottlenecks. It's a little worse yeah. But people will still drop their CoD or RB6:Siege graphical settings to low on their so they can be CPU limited all day on their 4090.
