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.

Please don't upgrade. People place way too much emphasis on bottlenecks. I have a 4080 and a 9700k, I'm obviously bottlenecked but I really have zero negativity when gaming.
The microcenter bundles currently going on are tempting me because for $500 I can get a 14700k/mobo/16gigs ddr5 ram and sell my old system for like $200.
In your case just wait. 14th Gen is a minor refresh so hopefully Intel brings out some big gains next year.
Well its just really anoying that i spend about 2k on a 4090 to o ly get about the same performance in most games
Turn up your graphics and you'll see the major difference.
But I am already playing at max settings
By that I also mean resolution, such as 4K, 8K, 16K
