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.

For Purley gaming if things where tight I might consider the 13700k although for blender those extra 4 ecores will make a large difference so 14700k all the way.
14900/17400k review with 13700k data includes blender https://youtu.be/0oALfgsyOg4?si=VMemv0QvILwmIuN7
As for ram I don't think blender cares that much as long as there is enough, for gaming 5200 MHz is the bare minimum for some reason intel falls of a ton with 4800.

7200 cl34 sure it's faster but your burning money get the i9 and a cheaper kit at this point
6000 cl30 and 5600 cl28 are really good
5600 cl36 isn't on the chart but I'm guessing it's good enough and it's affordable in my area
5200 cl38 bare minimum
Worse than this drop down to the 13700k
