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.

What would be some older great price-to-performance Intel CPUs? (non-K) (alien.top)

I am looking at the second hand market and Intels processors no longer sell at such a high price as they used to, because of AMD bringing competition the market.

What would be some decent deals nowadays?

12100 is really cheap. 12400 isn't bad today.

I love my 12100... games quite nicely though it is showing some limitations in the most heavy games but if you can make do with sub 200 fps in shooters and sub 100 fps in other games then it is quite nice... more quiet games I limit to 60 fps anyways (Satisfactory, Farming Simulator 22 etc.) then it runs at like 20W when gaming lol and the 3060 Ti sips under 200W most of the time
