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.

Z690 or Z790. Both works. So if you find a better z690 for the price get that one I suggest.
Z690 has limited ddr5 speeds.
First of all how much ram speed you need considering that most systems at high speed not stable. And intel doesnt benefit as much as AMD when it comes to memory speed. Correct me if I am wrong. Second, you are telling me you would pay 299$ for z790 Tomahawk rather than MEG Z690 Ace for 249$ for instance.
The Meg has an Intel ethernet chip. I wouldn't want that. The z790 steel legend isn't much more.
