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.

I'd lean i7-14700K.
Marginally more efficient, a little less total power draw in games (~ 131W vs 143W) and apps (155W vs 169W): https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel-core-i7-14700k/22.html
and you get the APO features.
Either one will be fine though. 13900K is a little faster in applications overall, but 14700K is a little easier to cool and cheaper to boot.
You'll likely have to power limit either of them unless you have a 360 AIO.
Not really - they’ll throttle if they run too hot. No need to artificially power limit. They’re engineered that way.
There are also plenty of air coolers than can handle 200-250W
