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.

From what you've said elsewhere it likely is your HDD but it's still good to take a look at your thermals. In HWInfo click the 'Sensors' button. It'll bring up a fairly long list of different readings covering power usage, utilization, temperatures, and more. Scroll down until you see your CPU and Core temperatures. The 12th gen Intel CPUs have a max temperature rating of 100C and will cut power and clock speeds if that ceiling is being hit. If you see any cores bouncing off that number (or close to it) when under load you have a cooling problem. It should usually be much lower than that though. Depending on your ambient temperature, case, and cooling solution it could range anywhere from 25C to 50C at idle. With any minimally decent cooling setup and while under heavy load 80-90C can be considered normal but a good cooler will usually keep you under 80C, sometimes significantly.
