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.

If you must 13700K/14700K are on sale about 47 apart currently. Am not sure about heat but have 12700KF & 12900KF, and I likely should have spent the extra on the 13700K. There's a minor bump in speed and more e cores between the 2 (ecores aren't super useful for gaming other than background tasks). I updated my BIOS on the 12900KF and I think one of those two if I upgraded either rig would be fine. Just am not sure it's worth the spend but there is some improvement. You will get more p cores on either of those. The 14th i7 and i9 are pretty close. These are US prices though so it does depend on your local pricing also.
