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.

The u12a isn't a top tier cooler but it's also true that if you mostly game the CPU will see relatively low usage. And with undervolting you can gain a lot in efficiency without sacrificing too much performance. All core workloads could suffer a bit more though.

If you think it's the right CPU for you I'd say go for it and don't worry too much.
