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.

Switching from AMD to Intel do I need to wipe my boot SSD? (alien.top)

Hi,

I've seen a few people say it'll be fine, I've heard that it is a terrible decision. Could I take my m.2 SSD out of my current AMD PC and put it directly into my new intel system? Should I reset it to default windows first and get rid of programs and drivers? Could use some advice. Thanks!

The answer is yes. Not only CPU you change, also motherboard as well because different chipset. Fresh Windows install is recommended to eliminate bluescreen error issue.
