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.

What do you mean by overheating?
You can check the VRM MOS temps in HWInfo64 - even the most power-crazy boards pushing insane wattage into i9's don't get higher than like 60 or maybe 70, so I highly doubt your mobo will get damaged from whatever you're doing (generally, the auto's or even maxes in bios are not, generally, capable of damaging your mobo over a short term).
Modern motherboard above a certain quality can put up with a lot of abuse before things go wrong, ignore lemons and situations like that.
I received this i9 from online auction for the cheap price and now thinking about worth it or just sell back.
