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 on needs and cpu. I kept my previous cpu (i7 2600k) for about 10 years but thats an anomaly due to anemic cpu performance progress during that time period and me also not doing anything seriously cpu intensive. 2600k had also very good oc gains and hyperthreading aldo carried compared to just 4c/4t cpus. Previously i owned pentium iii -> pentium 4 -> core duo E6750.
