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.

So how hot does the i7 14700 REALLY get in real world use cases? (alien.top)

Im still thinking about switching to Intel and obviously every single review mentions how hot this CPU can get. Thing is: This is mostly at STOCK SETTINGS and in BENCHMARKS. How about real world usage? Can anyone share his experience with this CPU and with reasonable powerlimits/undervolting? Im also planning to use my aircooler, a Noctua u12A. My goal is to keep the PC quiet, would this be possible with aircooling and a bit of fiddling in BIOS? Im cool as long as I could keep the RPM under 1000 much like I do right now on my Ryzen CPU.

Indeed.

Can anyone share his experience with this CPU and with reasonable powerlimits/undervolting?

I do not own a core i7 14700, and the only review of powerlimit less than 3 years old that i know is Techpowerup, Intel Core i9-14900K Raptor Lake Tested at Power Limits Down to 35 W, 2023-10-27, https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel-core-i9-14900k-raptor-lake-tested-at-power-limits-down-to-35-w/

It is totally possible but it will cost i-do-know-how-much perf.
