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.

depends if you're going to upgrade your ram AND mobo. with less than 7200mhz, stick to your z690 and 12700k. with a new 14th gen mobo, get the 14700k and get 7200mhz+ xmp ram.
you cant keep you z690 as you will be stuck with your current ram kit, (it wont run 7200mhz ram). so it wont be as big of a jump. probably not even noticeable in games.
Does this ram frequency vs 6400 make that much of a difference ? And how so?
