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.

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.

i7 or i9 for my needs? (alien.top)

I want to use it for gaming like the Sims 4 with expansion packs, mods, CC - games like Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Dead by Daylight and similar games. I also want to use it for personal things - some pictures/music/videos. Ideally I'd like to multitask while playing (Sims, other autonomous games). Which what suit me best do you think?

There's not much benefit for gaming beyond the i7. So the 14700k if you have money to spend. But an i5 (13600k or 14600k) would still be more than fine. Even an i3 (13100) would be fine.
