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.

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.

Yes, you'll be ok with a good tower cooler for the cpu as well (unless you're using an AIO already). I'm using the thermalright assassin king SE and it's been amazing. Yes just make sure to limit the PL2 in bios and it will work amazing. I strongly recommend using the balanced windows power plan so the cpu frequencies will be dynamic and adjust itself according to usage. The max performance plan keeps all cores on base frequency and doesn't allow them to go down dynamically, and will require much more power all the time. You're in good shape with what you have. Of course, at any time you could install heatsink(s) to the VRMs independently with some strong thermal adhesive if really concerned. Congrats on your upgrade it will be a major uptick in performance.
Ok, thanks. I wanted to know if I could upgrade to a better cpu without replacing the motherboard.
